DF1BZ-2P-2.5DSA(15) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF1BZ-2P-2.5DSA(15) is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for board-to-cable/wire applications with a 2-position, 2.5mm pitch configuration. This part is classified as obsolete and has been superseded in active production. Due to its obsolete status and limited availability through standard channels, identifying equivalent substitute parts is essential for ongoing system maintenance, repair, and component sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DF1BZ-2P-2.5DSA(15) are determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.098" (2.50mm) — determines mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Number of Positions: 2 — defines the connector capacity
• Connector Type: Header — specifies the form factor
• Contact Type: Male Pin — ensures proper mating interface
• Mounting Type: Through Hole — confirms PCB assembly compatibility
• Style: Board to Cable/Wire — establishes application context
• Manufacturer: Hirose Electric Co Ltd — maintains design consistency within the same product family

The DF1BZ-2P-2.5DSA (without the (15) suffix) is the active production equivalent within the same DF1B series and meets all substitution criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF1BZ-2P-2.5DSA is the direct active production substitute for the obsolete DF1BZ-2P-2.5DSA(15). Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters. The active variant offers the following advantages:

• Product Status: Active production status ensures long-term availability and supply chain stability
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications confirm regulatory alignment with current environmental standards
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) provides flexibility in storage and handling conditions
• Inventory: Significantly higher stock levels (500,100 pcs) compared to the obsolete variant

Selection of the DF1BZ-2P-2.5DSA for new designs or replacement applications is supported by its active status and full compliance documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically identical across all specified parameters, including pitch, position count, contact type, mounting method, and electrical ratings. The primary difference is product status and compliance certifications.

Q: What does the (15) suffix indicate on the obsolete part number?

A: The (15) suffix is a manufacturing or inventory designation specific to the obsolete variant. The active production part omits this suffix. Functionally, both variants are equivalent.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the two parts?

A: The obsolete variant packaging is not specified in available documentation. The active DF1BZ-2P-2.5DSA is supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Does the active substitute meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. The DF1BZ-2P-2.5DSA is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards. The obsolete variant compliance status is not documented.

Q: What is the MSL rating difference, and does it affect compatibility?

A: The active part has an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. The obsolete variant lists MSL as Not Applicable. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but may influence storage and handling procedures.

Q: Is the DF1BZ-2P-2.5DSA available in alternative configurations?

A: The DF1BZ series supports multiple position counts and pitch configurations. Verify that the 2-position, 2.5mm pitch configuration matches your application requirements before ordering.
