Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part DF17B(2.0)-70DP-0.5V(57) is qualified as a direct equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

• Base Product Number: Both parts share the identical base product number DF17B(2.0), indicating they belong to the same connector family and architecture
• Number of Positions: Both maintain 70-position configuration
• Pitch Specification: Both use 0.50mm (0.020") pitch, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Connector Type: Both are header connectors with outer shroud contacts
• Mounting Type: Both are surface mount (SMD) configurations
• Contact Finish: Both feature gold plating for reliable electrical performance

The substitute part differs only in its product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and packaging format (Tape & Reel), making it a direct functional replacement while offering current manufacturing support and improved supply chain availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF17B(2.0)-70DP-0.5V(57) is the qualified substitute for the obsolete DF17B(2.0)-70DP-0.5V(67). Selection of the active substitute part is based on:

• Product Status Alignment: The substitute maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing support
• Regulatory Compliance: The substitute is RoHS Compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements
• Functional Equivalence: Identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters ensure direct interchangeability
• Packaging Availability: Tape & Reel packaging format supports automated assembly processes and standard procurement workflows

For applications currently using the obsolete variant, transition to the active substitute part is appropriate without design modification.
