Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF16(2.0)-80DP-0.5V(86) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: 80 positions (non-negotiable)
• Pitch: 0.50mm (0.020") (non-negotiable)
• Number of Rows: 2 rows (non-negotiable)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (non-negotiable)
• Category: Rectangular Connectors, Header type (non-negotiable)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 or equivalent (non-negotiable)

The substitute part AXK6F80537YG manufactured by Panasonic Electric Works satisfies all critical parameters. Both parts are classified as rectangular connector headers with identical position count, pitch, row configuration, and surface mount technology. Both maintain MSL 1 rating, ensuring equivalent moisture handling characteristics.
