Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the DF14-2628SCF(43) is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the DF14 rectangular connector series to ensure mechanical fit and interface compatibility
• Contact Type: Socket contact configuration must be maintained
• Termination Method: Crimp termination is required for wire attachment consistency
• Wire Gauge Rating: 26-28 AWG specification must be preserved for proper contact engagement and current carrying capacity
• Base Product Number: DF14 designation confirms compatibility within the connector family

The substitute part DF14-2628SCF meets all these criteria while offering the advantage of active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF14-2628SCF serves as the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete DF14-2628SCF(43). Selection of this substitute is supported by:

• Product Status: The substitute maintains active production status with substantial inventory availability (76,789 pieces in stock), ensuring reliable procurement for current and future applications
• Regulatory Compliance: The active substitute is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution
• Series Continuity: Both parts maintain identical DF14 series designation, confirming mechanical and electrical interface compatibility
• Contact Specifications: Socket contact configuration with crimp termination and 26-28 AWG wire gauge rating are preserved, ensuring direct functional replacement without circuit redesign

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF14-2628SCF be used as a direct replacement for DF14-2628SCF(43)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical series designation (DF14), contact type (socket), termination method (crimp), and wire gauge rating (26-28 AWG). The substitute is mechanically and electrically compatible for direct replacement applications.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference (unspecified vs. tin)?

A: The original part's contact finish is not specified in available documentation. The substitute specifies tin contact finish, which is a standard corrosion-resistant plating for rectangular connectors and does not affect mechanical compatibility or electrical performance in standard applications.

Q: Why is the obsolete part no longer available?

A: The DF14-2628SCF(43) is classified as obsolete, indicating it has been discontinued from active production. The DF14-2628SCF represents the current active equivalent within the DF14 connector family.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when sourcing the substitute?

A: The active substitute is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Verify that your procurement and assembly processes are compatible with this packaging format, or confirm alternative packaging availability through your supplier.

Q: Does the substitute meet current environmental standards?

A: Yes. The DF14-2628SCF is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations for electronic components in most jurisdictions.

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

A: The substitute has an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly processes.
