Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF14-15S-1.25C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the DF14 series to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability
• Connector Configuration: Receptacle housing with 15 positions in a single-row layout
• Contact Interface: Female socket contacts with crimp termination
• Pitch Specification: 0.049" (1.25mm) contact spacing
• Mounting Architecture: Free hanging (in-line) configuration
• Material Composition: Polyamide (PA) nylon insulation
• Environmental Rating: Operating temperature range of -35°C to 85°C
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance status

The identified substitute part DF14-15S-1.25C(10) maintains full equivalence across all specified parameters while offering improved product status and availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF14-15S-1.25C(10) is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete DF14-15S-1.25C. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The substitute part offers the following advantages:

• Product Status: Active production status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance provides enhanced environmental standards alignment
• Inventory Position: Higher stock levels (2423 units) support immediate procurement requirements
• Series Continuity: Membership in the DF14 series guarantees full mechanical and electrical interchangeability

Selection of the DF14-15S-1.25C(10) is appropriate for both replacement applications and new designs requiring 15-position, 1.25mm pitch rectangular connector housings with crimp-type female socket contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the DF14-15S-1.25C and DF14-15S-1.25C(10) mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications including housing dimensions, contact pitch (0.049" / 1.25mm), mounting configuration, and insulation material composition. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: What is the significance of the "(10)" designation in the part number?

A: The "(10)" suffix indicates the packaging configuration. The substitute part is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the original part number may reference a different packaging format. The functional connector housing specifications remain identical.

Q: Can the DF14-15S-1.25C(10) be used in applications originally designed for the DF14-15S-1.25C?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence. All contact interfaces, operating temperature ranges, and environmental ratings are identical. No circuit or mechanical redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?

A: Both certifications indicate restriction of hazardous substances compliance. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard with updated substance restrictions. The DF14-15S-1.25C(10) meets the more recent ROHS3 specification.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the DF14-15S-1.25C and DF14-15S-1.25C(10) are housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and crimped into the housing according to Hirose assembly specifications.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating?

A: Both parts carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These components do not require special moisture control during storage or handling.
