Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF12B(4.0)-30DP-0.5V(86) is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 30 positions, 2 rows, 0.50mm pitch
• Physical Dimensions: 4mm mated stacking height, 0.130" height above board
• Contact Specifications: Gold finish at 8.00µin thickness
• Mounting Method: Surface mount with solder retention
• Connector Type: Header with outer shroud contacts
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL rating

The identified substitute parts DF12NB(4.0)-30DP-0.5V(51) and DF12NC(4.0)-30DP-0.5V(51) maintain all specified electrical and mechanical parameters while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications. Both substitutes are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the DF12 series and are available in Tape & Reel packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both DF12NB(4.0)-30DP-0.5V(51) and DF12NC(4.0)-30DP-0.5V(51) are suitable direct substitutes for the obsolete DF12B(4.0)-30DP-0.5V(86). Selection between the two active alternatives should be based on procurement availability and supply chain requirements, as both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

The transition from RoHS Compliant to ROHS3 Compliant status in the substitute parts reflects current regulatory alignment and does not impact functional compatibility. Both substitutes carry REACH Unaffected certification, confirming compliance with European chemical regulations. The Tape & Reel packaging of the substitute parts supports automated assembly processes and is standard for active production components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are DF12NB(4.0)-30DP-0.5V(51) and DF12NC(4.0)-30DP-0.5V(51) electrically identical to the original DF12B(4.0)-30DP-0.5V(86)?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications including 30-position configuration, 0.50mm pitch, gold contact finish at 8.00µin thickness, and all functional parameters required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: DF12NB(4.0)-30DP-0.5V(51) and DF12NC(4.0)-30DP-0.5V(51) share all specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Differentiation between these parts is based on internal Hirose design variants within the DF12 series. Selection should be determined by procurement availability and supply chain logistics.

Q: Can the substitute parts be used in existing PCB designs without modification?

A: Yes. The substitute parts maintain identical footprint dimensions, pitch spacing, mated stacking height, and height above board specifications. No PCB layout modifications are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the ROHS3 compliance upgrade?

A: ROHS3 Compliant status indicates compliance with the current Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive. This represents a regulatory update from the original RoHS Compliant designation and does not affect component functionality or compatibility.

Q: Are the substitute parts available in the same packaging as the original?

A: The substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for active production components. This packaging format supports automated assembly processes and is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment.

Q: What does REACH Unaffected mean for these substitute parts?

A: REACH Unaffected status confirms that these components are not subject to the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation, indicating compliance with European chemical safety requirements.
