DF13-6P-1.25DS(50) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF13-6P-1.25DS(50) is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-cable/wire applications. This connector features 6 positions with 0.049" (1.25mm) pitch spacing and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete product status, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new production runs and field replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF13-6P-1.25DS(50) is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.049" (1.25mm)
• Number of Positions: 6
• Number of Rows: 1
• Connector Type: Header
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Style: Board to Cable/Wire

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Operating Temperature Range: -35°C ~ 85°C minimum
• Voltage Rating: 150V minimum
• Current Rating: 1A minimum
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: the DF13-6P-1.25DS(55) from Hirose Electric Co Ltd and the 0530480610 from Molex. Both maintain identical mating pitch, position count, mounting configuration, and electrical ratings required for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DF13-6P-1.25DS(55) (Hirose Electric Co Ltd): This substitute is the primary equivalent for the obsolete DF13-6P-1.25DS(50). Both parts share identical series designation, electrical specifications, and mechanical configuration. The DF13-6P-1.25DS(55) maintains active product status with higher inventory availability (1118 pcs). This part is recommended for direct replacement in applications where Hirose connector ecosystem compatibility is required.

0530480610 (Molex PicoBlade 53048): This substitute provides functional equivalence with identical mating pitch, position count, and mounting configuration. The Molex part operates across an extended temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) and carries ROHS3 compliance certification. The 0530480610 features significantly higher inventory availability (39024 pcs) and is suitable for applications where cross-manufacturer substitution is acceptable. Note that the voltage rating is 125V compared to the original 150V specification.

Both substitutes maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level, ensuring compliance with the original design requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF13-6P-1.25DS(55) be used as a direct replacement for the DF13-6P-1.25DS(50)?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.049" / 1.25mm), position count (6), row configuration (1), mounting type (through hole, right angle), and electrical ratings (150V, 1A). The primary difference is product status: the DF13-6P-1.25DS(50) is obsolete while the DF13-6P-1.25DS(55) is active production.

Q: What are the key differences between the Hirose DF13-6P-1.25DS(55) and the Molex 0530480610?

A: Both parts maintain identical mating pitch, position count, and mounting configuration. Differences include: contact material (Hirose uses brass with gold finish; Molex uses phosphor bronze with tin finish), insulation height (Hirose 0.142" vs. Molex 0.138"), voltage rating (Hirose 150V vs. Molex 125V), and operating temperature range (Hirose -35°C to 85°C vs. Molex -40°C to 85°C). The Molex part offers higher inventory availability.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these substitutes?

A: All three parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level. The DF13-6P-1.25DS(50) and DF13-6P-1.25DS(55) are RoHS Compliant. The Molex 0530480610 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. Both certifications meet current regulatory requirements.

Q: What should be considered when selecting between the Hirose and Molex substitutes?

A: Selection depends on application requirements. Choose the Hirose DF13-6P-1.25DS(55) for ecosystem consistency with existing Hirose connectors or when the 150V rating is required. Choose the Molex 0530480610 when extended temperature range (-40°C minimum), higher inventory availability, or cross-manufacturer flexibility is acceptable and the 125V rating meets application needs.

Q: Is the contact finish difference between gold and tin significant for substitution?

A: Contact finish affects corrosion resistance and mating force characteristics. Gold finish (Hirose) provides superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments. Tin finish (Molex) is suitable for standard industrial applications. Selection should align with environmental exposure and reliability requirements of the specific application.
