No design modifications are required when transitioning from the obsolete part number to the active substitute.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are DF1BZ-2P-2.5DSA(16) and DF1BZ-2P-2.5DSA mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch spacing, mounting method, and shrouding configuration. They are direct mechanical substitutes.

Q: What is the significance of the "(16)" designation in the original part number?

A: The "(16)" suffix in DF1BZ-2P-2.5DSA(16) represents a specific packaging or inventory designation. The base part number DF1BZ-2P-2.5DSA functions identically without this suffix.

Q: Does the substitute part meet current environmental compliance standards?

A: Yes. The DF1BZ-2P-2.5DSA carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: Are there any differences in contact specifications between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts feature identical contact material (brass), contact finish (tin), contact shape (square), and contact dimensions. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the MSL difference, and does it affect component handling?

A: The substitute part has MSL 1 (Unlimited), meaning it has no moisture sensitivity restrictions. The obsolete part lists MSL as Not Applicable. This provides greater flexibility in storage and handling for the substitute.

Q: Can the DF1BZ-2P-2.5DSA be used in new designs?

A: Yes. As an active product with current compliance certifications, it is suitable for both replacement applications and new design implementations.
