DF14-10S-1.25C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF14-10S-1.25C is a 10-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for applications requiring a 0.049" (1.25mm) pitch receptacle with crimp termination. This part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain functional compatibility across the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (10), pitch (0.049" / 1.25mm), number of rows (1), mounting type (free hanging in-line), and contact termination method (crimp). All substitute parts must maintain these core specifications to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating components.

The identified substitutes are grouped as follows:

Group 1: Hirose Electric Co Ltd DF14 Series (Active Status)

• DF14-10S-1.25C(10): Active product status with ROHS3 compliance

Group 2: Adam Tech 125CH Series (Active Status)

• 125CH-D-10: Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and friction lock fastening

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DF14-10S-1.25C(10) is the primary substitute, offering direct series continuity from Hirose Electric Co Ltd with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the obsolete DF14-10S-1.25C, including operating temperature range and insulation material composition.

125CH-D-10 from Adam Tech provides an alternative substitute with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part meets all core substitution criteria with equivalent connector specifications. The operating temperature minimum is -25°C compared to -35°C for the Hirose parts, and the insulation material is specified as Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6 rather than standard Polyamide (PA) Nylon. The 125CH-D-10 includes friction lock fastening, which differs from the main part specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF14-10S-1.25C(10) be used as a direct replacement for DF14-10S-1.25C? A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications across connector type, contact type, number of positions, pitch, mounting type, contact termination, color, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging configuration.

Q: What are the key compatibility factors when selecting a substitute? A: Substitutes must maintain equivalence in connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (10), pitch (0.049" / 1.25mm), number of rows (1), mounting type (free hanging in-line), and contact termination (crimp). These parameters determine mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connector components.

Q: How does the 125CH-D-10 differ from the Hirose alternatives? A: The 125CH-D-10 maintains all core connector specifications but includes friction lock fastening and specifies Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6 insulation material. The operating temperature minimum is -25°C rather than -35°C. These differences do not affect substitution eligibility for applications within the -25°C to 85°C range.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations for substitute selection? A: Both substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, meeting current regulatory requirements. The obsolete DF14-10S-1.25C carries RoHS Compliant status, which is superseded by the ROHS3 compliance of active alternatives.

Q: What is the significance of packaging differences between DF14-10S-1.25C and DF14-10S-1.25C(10)? A: The primary packaging difference is bulk configuration for DF14-10S-1.25C(10) versus the standard packaging of the obsolete part. This affects inventory management and procurement but does not alter electrical or mechanical compatibility.
