DF1E-13P-2.5DS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF1E-13P-2.5DS is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-cable/wire applications with 13 positions at 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch. This connector features shrouded 4-wall construction with solder termination and latch holder fastening. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing design requirements and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the DF1E-13P-2.5DS is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Header, board-to-cable/wire configuration
• Contact Configuration: Male pin, 13 positions, single row
• Mounting Method: Through hole, right angle orientation
• Shrouding & Fastening: Shrouded 4-wall construction with latch holder
• Termination: Solder termination
• Electrical Performance: 3A current rating, UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The substitute parts listed below maintain these core functional parameters. However, the mating pitch differs from the original specification (0.100" / 2.54mm versus 0.098" / 2.50mm), which represents a mechanical incompatibility requiring design consideration. All substitute parts are active products with improved compliance profiles compared to the obsolete original.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The DF1E-13P-2.5DS is obsolete. All three substitute parts (0705550047, 1-103634-2, 6-103635-2) are active products with ongoing manufacturer support and availability.

Compliance Profile:

• 0705550047 (Molex SL 70555): ROHS3 compliant, suitable for applications requiring modern regulatory compliance
• 1-103634-2 (TE Connectivity AMPMODU MTE): RoHS non-compliant, maintains legacy compliance profile similar to original part
• 6-103635-2 (TE Connectivity AMPMODU MTE): ROHS3 compliant with enhanced contact finish (gold mating surface), suitable for applications requiring improved compliance and contact reliability

Pitch Incompatibility: All substitute parts operate at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, which differs from the original 0.098" (2.50mm) specification. This represents a mechanical incompatibility that requires mating connector redesign or adapter consideration.

Contact Finish & Material: The TE Connectivity 6-103635-2 offers gold mating contact finish with brass material, providing enhanced corrosion resistance compared to tin-finished alternatives. The Molex 0705550047 features phosphor bronze material with gold finish, offering alternative material composition.

Temperature Range: TE Connectivity parts (1-103634-2, 6-103635-2) provide extended operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) compared to the original (-35°C ~ 85°C), supporting broader application environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the substitute parts directly replace the DF1E-13P-2.5DS without design modification?

A: No. The substitute parts operate at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, while the original operates at 0.098" (2.50mm). This pitch difference requires mating connector redesign or use of an adapter solution. The core connector functions (header type, 13 positions, through-hole right-angle mounting, shrouded 4-wall construction, solder termination, latch holder fastening) are maintained across all substitutes.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best compliance profile?

A: The 6-103635-2 (TE Connectivity AMPMODU MTE) provides ROHS3 compliance with gold mating contact finish and extended temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C). The 0705550047 (Molex SL 70555) also provides ROHS3 compliance with 250V voltage rating specification. The 1-103634-2 maintains RoHS non-compliant status similar to the original part.

Q: What are the material differences between substitute options?

A: The original DF1E-13P-2.5DS uses brass contacts with tin finish and polyamide insulation. The 0705550047 uses phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish and polyester glass-filled insulation. Both TE Connectivity options (1-103634-2, 6-103635-2) use brass contacts with thermoplastic insulation; the 1-103634-2 features tin-lead finish while the 6-103635-2 features gold finish.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in equivalent quantities?

A: Yes. Current inventory includes 725 pcs (Molex 0705550047), 653 pcs (TE Connectivity 1-103634-2), and 977 pcs (TE Connectivity 6-103635-2), all listed as new original stock.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The DF1E-13P-2.5DS is obsolete. All substitute parts are active products with ongoing manufacturer support, ensuring long-term availability and design continuity for new production runs.
