Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the DF1BZ-2P-2.5DS(15) is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Series: Header connector from the DF1B series family
• Position Count & Pitch: Exactly 2 positions with 0.098" (2.50mm) mating pitch
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole, right-angle orientation for board-to-cable/wire applications
• Contact System: Male pin contacts with shrouded 4-wall design
• Electrical Ratings: 150V voltage rating and operating temperature range of -35°C ~ 85°C
• Termination & Fastening: Solder termination with push-pull fastening mechanism
• Material & Compliance: Brass contacts with tin finish, polyamide insulation, UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The substitute part DF1BZ-2P-2.5DS meets all these criteria and represents the active production equivalent within the DF1B connector series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF1BZ-2P-2.5DS represents the direct active production substitute for the obsolete DF1BZ-2P-2.5DS(15). Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters. The active variant offers improved supply chain availability and current regulatory compliance certifications.

The DF1BZ-2P-2.5DS is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for new designs and production runs. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling.

For applications currently using the obsolete DF1BZ-2P-2.5DS(15), direct substitution with DF1BZ-2P-2.5DS is functionally and mechanically equivalent with no design modifications required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF1BZ-2P-2.5DS be used as a direct replacement for DF1BZ-2P-2.5DS(15)?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type, position count, mating pitch, mounting configuration, contact system, electrical ratings, and termination method. Direct substitution is supported without design changes.

Q: What is the primary difference between the obsolete and active part numbers?

A: The obsolete DF1BZ-2P-2.5DS(15) is no longer in production. The active DF1BZ-2P-2.5DS provides equivalent functionality with current regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH unaffected) and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The obsolete part packaging is not specified. The active DF1BZ-2P-2.5DS is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your supplier for specific application needs.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility for this connector?

A: Substitution is determined by matching: connector type (header), position count (2), mating pitch (2.50mm), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), contact type (male pin), shrouding (4-wall), termination (solder), fastening (push-pull), operating temperature range (-35°C ~ 85°C), and voltage rating (150V).

Q: Is the DF1BZ-2P-2.5DS suitable for new product designs?

A: Yes. The active DF1BZ-2P-2.5DS is the recommended connector for new designs requiring a 2-position, 2.50mm pitch rectangular header with through-hole right-angle mounting and push-pull fastening.
