DF13-15P-1.25DSA(50) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF13-15P-1.25DSA(50) is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for through-hole mounting in board-to-cable/wire applications. This 15-position, single-row connector operates at 1.25mm pitch with shrouded 4-wall construction and detent lock fastening. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF13-15P-1.25DSA(50) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Pitch matching at 0.049" (1.25mm)
• 15-position, single-row configuration
• Through-hole mounting capability
• Shrouded 4-wall construction with detent lock fastening
• Solder termination
• UL94 V-0 flammability compliance
• Operating temperature range compatibility

The Molex 0530471510 (PicoBlade 53047 series) satisfies these core substitution criteria. Both connectors maintain identical pitch, position count, row configuration, mounting type, shrouding style, fastening mechanism, and termination method. Both achieve UL94 V-0 material flammability rating and support the same board-to-cable/wire application style.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Molex 0530471510 is the primary substitute for the obsolete DF13-15P-1.25DSA(50). The substitute maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both components comply with UL94 V-0 material flammability requirements and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, indicating equivalent environmental handling requirements.

The substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, providing regulatory alignment for current manufacturing standards. Contact material differs (Brass versus Phosphor Bronze) and insulation height shows a 0.004" (0.10mm) variance, with the substitute measuring 0.165" (4.20mm) compared to the original 0.169" (4.30mm). These differences remain within acceptable mechanical tolerance for standard through-hole PCB applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0530471510 directly replace the Hirose DF13-15P-1.25DSA(50) in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (1.25mm), position count (15), row configuration (1), mounting type (through-hole), shrouding (4-wall), fastening mechanism (detent lock), and termination method (solder). The 0.004" insulation height difference does not affect standard PCB mounting compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the contact type difference (Pin versus Blade)?

A: Contact type designation reflects manufacturing geometry. Both configurations function as male contacts within the header connector and mate with corresponding female receptacles. The functional electrical and mechanical interface remains equivalent for board-to-cable/wire applications.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: The Molex substitute achieves ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. Both components carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 classification. The substitute's active product status ensures ongoing compliance maintenance.

Q: What packaging format is available for the substitute?

A: The Molex 0530471510 is supplied in Tray packaging, compared to the original part's unspecified packaging format. Tray packaging is standard for high-volume connector distribution and does not affect connector functionality or performance.

Q: How do the contact materials affect electrical performance?

A: The original uses Brass contacts while the substitute uses Phosphor Bronze. Both materials provide adequate electrical conductivity for the 1A current rating and 150V voltage specification. Contact finish differs (Gold 8.00µin on original versus Tin 35.4µin on substitute), with both finishes suitable for solder termination and standard operating environments.
