Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DF1E-3P-2.5DS(36) qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Series Match: Both parts belong to the DF1E series
• Position Count: Identical 3-position configuration
• Pitch Specification: Both maintain 0.098" (2.50mm) mating pitch
• Connector Type & Contact Type: Both are header connectors with male pin contacts
• Mounting Configuration: Both feature through-hole, right-angle mounting
• Electrical Rating: Both rated for 3A current
• Temperature Range: Identical -35°C ~ 85°C operating range
• Contact Material & Finish: Both use brass contacts with gold plating (8.00µin thickness)
• Insulation Material: Both use polyamide (PA) nylon insulation
• Flammability Rating: Both meet UL94 V-0 standard
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The primary distinction is product status: DF1E-3P-2.5DS(01) is obsolete while DF1E-3P-2.5DS(36) is active, with the latter available in bulk packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

This part maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete DF1E-3P-2.5DS(01) across all critical parameters. The active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain support. The DF1E-3P-2.5DS(36) carries explicit RoHS compliance certification, providing regulatory assurance for applications subject to environmental standards. Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain identical electrical performance specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF1E-3P-2.5DS(36) be used as a direct replacement for DF1E-3P-2.5DS(01)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, contact materials, and electrical ratings. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The DF1E-3P-2.5DS(01) is obsolete, while DF1E-3P-2.5DS(36) is an active product. The substitute part is available in bulk packaging and carries RoHS compliance documentation.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The DF1E-3P-2.5DS(01) packaging specification is not provided. The DF1E-3P-2.5DS(36) is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operate across the identical temperature range of -35°C to 85°C. The DF1E-3P-2.5DS(36) explicitly carries RoHS compliance certification.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: Both parts are rated for 3A continuous current.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Both parts operate within the range of -35°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative connector selection.
