Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DF1E-2022PC are evaluated based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Pin or Socket configuration (Pin required)
• Wire Gauge range (20-22 AWG preferred; 24-28 AWG or 26-28 AWG acceptable with design verification)
• Contact Termination method (Crimp required)
• Contact Finish (Tin preferred; Gold acceptable for enhanced corrosion resistance)
• RoHS and MSL compliance (ROHS3 Compliant; MSL 1 Unlimited)

Substitute Classification:

Group 1 - Direct Equivalent (Same Series, Active Status): DF1E-2022PCF represents the active production equivalent within the same DF1E series, differing only in packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Bulk).

Group 2 - Compatible Pin Contacts (Rectangular Connectors, 20-22 AWG): 565-290-731 (Mercury United Electronics) and 0500398100 (Molex) provide pin/socket contact options with matching wire gauge and crimp termination, though 0500398100 is a socket contact variant.

Group 3 - Wire Gauge Variance (Acceptable with Design Review): 170-101-170L002 (NorComp D-Sub) and D02-22-26P-PKG100 (JAE Electronics) operate at 24-28 AWG and 26-28 AWG respectively, requiring verification for wire gauge compatibility in target applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection - DF1E-2022PCF: This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the DF1E-2022PC while offering Active product status and current manufacturing availability. The only difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Bulk). Selection is appropriate for all applications currently using DF1E-2022PC.

Secondary Selection - 565-290-731: Mercury United Electronics 565-290-731 provides exact parameter matching (20-22 AWG, Tin finish, Crimp termination, Pin configuration) with Active status and ROHS3 compliance. This part is suitable as a direct functional replacement where rectangular connector pin contacts are required.

Tertiary Selection - 0500398100: Molex 0500398100 matches wire gauge and termination specifications but functions as a Socket contact rather than Pin. This part is applicable only in applications requiring socket contacts within the Mizu-P25 series connector system.

Limited Compatibility - 170-101-170L002 and D02-22-26P-PKG100: These parts operate at different wire gauge ranges (24-28 AWG and 26-28 AWG respectively) and represent different connector categories. Selection requires design verification to confirm wire gauge compatibility and connector system compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF1E-2022PCF be used as a direct replacement for DF1E-2022PC? A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference is packaging format only (Tape & Reel vs. Bulk). DF1E-2022PCF is the recommended replacement due to Active product status.

Q: What is the primary difference between DF1E-2022PC and 565-290-731? A: Both parts share identical functional parameters: 20-22 AWG wire gauge, Tin contact finish, Crimp termination, and Pin configuration. The primary difference is manufacturer (Hirose vs. Mercury United Electronics) and packaging format. 565-290-731 is suitable for applications where cross-manufacturer compatibility is acceptable.

Q: Why is 0500398100 listed as a substitute if it is a Socket contact? A: 0500398100 is included because it matches the wire gauge (20-22 AWG), contact finish (Tin), and termination method (Crimp). However, it functions as a Socket contact, not a Pin contact. This part is applicable only in connector systems requiring socket contacts paired with pin contacts.

Q: Can D02-22-26P-PKG100 replace DF1E-2022PC? A: D02-22-26P-PKG100 operates at 26-28 AWG wire gauge, which differs from the DF1E-2022PC specification of 20-22 AWG. This part is not a direct replacement without design verification to confirm wire gauge compatibility in the target application.

Q: What does Last Time Buy status mean for DF1E-2022PC? A: Last Time Buy indicates that Hirose Electric has discontinued production of this part. Existing inventory may be available, but no future manufacturing is planned. Transition to an Active equivalent such as DF1E-2022PCF is recommended for long-term supply chain continuity.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating? A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has no moisture sensitivity limitations and does not require special handling, storage, or reflow time restrictions. All listed substitutes maintain this rating.
