Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DF12NB(3.0)-10DP-0.5V(51) qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Both parts are 10-position headers with outer shroud contacts in the DF12 series
• Electrical Specifications: Identical pitch (0.020" / 0.50mm), number of positions (10), and row configuration (2 rows)
• Physical Dimensions: Matching mated stacking height (3mm) and height above board (0.091" / 2.30mm)
• Contact Properties: Identical gold contact finish and finish thickness (8.00µin / 0.203µm)
• Mounting Technology: Both are surface mount components
• Environmental Compliance: Both meet RoHS requirements and share MSL 1 rating

The primary distinction is product status: the substitute part is active and available, whereas the original part is obsolete.
