DF1B-2022PCF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF1B-2022PCF is an active rectangular connector pin contact manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd. This component is a crimp-style pin contact rated for 20-22 AWG wire gauges with tin contact finish. The part maintains RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), making it suitable for general industrial and commercial applications. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part becomes unavailable or when specific contact finish requirements necessitate alternative selections.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DF1B-2022PCF are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Contact type: Pin
• Termination method: Crimp
• Wire gauge compatibility: 20-22 AWG (primary), with tolerance for adjacent gauges (24-28 AWG acceptable for lower current applications)
• Contact finish: Tin or Gold (both acceptable; Gold provides enhanced corrosion resistance)
• RoHS compliance: Required
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 preferred

Substitute Classification:

Group 1 - Same Series, Alternate Finish: DF1B-2022PCFB (Hirose Electric Co Ltd) - Identical electrical and mechanical specifications with gold contact finish instead of tin.

Group 2 - Different Connector Category, Compatible Contact Specifications: 170-101-170L002 (NorComp Inc.) and D02-22-26P-PKG100 (JAE Electronics) - These parts share crimp termination, pin contact type, and gold finish but operate in different connector families with wire gauge variations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DF1B-2022PCFB (Hirose Electric Co Ltd): This is the primary substitute for the DF1B-2022PCF. Both parts are manufactured by the same supplier, operate within the same series, and maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications. The only difference is the contact finish (gold versus tin). This part is recommended when gold plating is preferred for enhanced corrosion resistance or when tin-plated contacts are unavailable. Both parts are active products with RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating.

170-101-170L002 (NorComp Inc.): This D-Sub connector contact is suitable as a substitute when the application permits use of a different connector family. The part operates with 24-28 AWG wire gauge, which is slightly finer than the primary part's 20-22 AWG specification. This part carries ROHS3 compliance and gold contact finish. Selection of this part requires verification that the D-Sub connector form factor is compatible with the target application.

D02-22-26P-PKG100 (JAE Electronics): This contact from the D02 series operates with 26-28 AWG wire gauge and gold contact finish. Like the NorComp part, this represents a different connector family and requires application-level compatibility verification. The part maintains ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Wire gauge compatibility must be confirmed for the specific application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF1B-2022PCFB be used as a direct replacement for DF1B-2022PCF?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications, wire gauge rating, termination method, and moisture sensitivity. The only difference is contact finish (gold versus tin). Direct substitution is possible without design modification.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between tin and gold?

A: Contact finish affects corrosion resistance and electrical performance. Tin provides adequate performance in standard environments. Gold offers superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance, making it preferable in high-reliability or harsh environment applications. Both finishes are acceptable for the DF1B series.

Q: Can 170-101-170L002 or D02-22-26P-PKG100 be used interchangeably with DF1B-2022PCF?

A: These parts share the same contact type (pin), termination method (crimp), and contact finish (gold), but operate in different connector families with different wire gauge ratings. Substitution requires verification that the connector form factor and wire gauge specifications are compatible with the target application. These are not direct drop-in replacements.

Q: What does wire gauge compatibility mean for substitution?

A: Wire gauge determines the current-carrying capacity and mechanical fit of the contact. The DF1B-2022PCF is rated for 20-22 AWG wire. The substitute parts operate at 24-28 AWG (finer wire) or 26-28 AWG. Substitution with finer gauge contacts is acceptable only if the application uses wire within the substitute part's rated range. Using a contact rated for finer wire with thicker wire may result in improper crimping and connection failure.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The primary part (DF1B-2022PCF) is RoHS Compliant. All substitute parts carry either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant status, meeting regulatory requirements for lead-free and restricted substance compliance.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape (CT) and Bulk packaging?

A: Cut Tape packaging provides components on carrier tape in smaller quantities, suitable for automated assembly. Bulk packaging provides loose components in larger quantities. Packaging selection depends on manufacturing process requirements and order volume. Functional performance is identical regardless of packaging type.
