Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF12(5.0)-40DP-0.5V(86) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of positions: 40
• Pitch: 0.020" (0.50mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Connector type: Header, Outer Shroud Contacts
• Mounting type: Surface Mount
• Contact finish: Gold
• Contact finish thickness: 8.00µin (0.203µm)
• Mated stacking height: 5mm
• Height above board: 0.169" (4.30mm)
• RoHS compliance status
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all listed parameters. Variations in product status, packaging format, or manufacturing features do not affect functional compatibility when all core parameters remain constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts maintain full parametric equivalence with the obsolete DF12(5.0)-40DP-0.5V(86) across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications.

DF12NB(5.0)-40DP-0.5V(51) is the direct manufacturer replacement, classified as active product status with ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected status. This part is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging format and represents the current production standard from Hirose Electric Co Ltd.

DF12(5.0)-40DP-0.5V(48) is a parametric equivalent maintaining active product status with RoHS compliance. This part includes board guide and solder retention features identical to the original obsolete part and is available in standard packaging.

Both alternatives satisfy compliance requirements and functional compatibility for direct substitution in applications currently using the DF12(5.0)-40DP-0.5V(86).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF12NB(5.0)-40DP-0.5V(51) be used as a direct replacement for DF12(5.0)-40DP-0.5V(86)?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters including position count, pitch, connector type, mounting method, contact finish, and stacking height. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging format (Tape & Reel versus standard).

Q: What is the difference between DF12NB(5.0)-40DP-0.5V(51) and DF12(5.0)-40DP-0.5V(48)?

A: Both parts are parametrically equivalent. DF12(5.0)-40DP-0.5V(48) includes board guide and solder retention features. DF12NB(5.0)-40DP-0.5V(51) includes only solder retention. Both maintain identical connector specifications and are active products.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus standard) affects supply chain logistics and handling procedures but does not alter connector electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: DF12NB(5.0)-40DP-0.5V(51) carries ROHS3 and REACH unaffected certifications. DF12(5.0)-40DP-0.5V(48) carries RoHS compliance. Both meet regulatory requirements for standard applications.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. All three parts maintain identical footprint specifications, mounting type, and dimensional characteristics, allowing direct substitution without PCB redesign.
