Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF1E-8P-2.5DS(01) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series designation (DF1E)
• Number of positions (8)
• Mating pitch (2.5mm / 0.098")
• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding style (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Current rating (3A)
• Operating temperature range (-35°C ~ 85°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The substitute part DF1E-8P-2.5DS(36) meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent within the DF1E series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF1E-8P-2.5DS(36) is the direct functional equivalent of the DF1E-8P-2.5DS(01). All electrical, mechanical, and thermal parameters are identical. The primary distinction is product status: the DF1E-8P-2.5DS(01) is obsolete, while the DF1E-8P-2.5DS(36) is active and currently in production.

The DF1E-8P-2.5DS(36) carries RoHS compliance certification, providing additional regulatory alignment for new designs and procurement. Both parts share identical UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and MSL classification.

For applications currently using DF1E-8P-2.5DS(01), direct substitution with DF1E-8P-2.5DS(36) is supported without design modification. Packaging differs (the substitute is supplied in bulk), but this does not affect functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF1E-8P-2.5DS(36) be used as a direct replacement for DF1E-8P-2.5DS(01)?

A: Yes. All electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications are identical. The parts are functionally equivalent and require no design changes.

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

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. DF1E-8P-2.5DS(01) is obsolete; DF1E-8P-2.5DS(36) is active production. DF1E-8P-2.5DS(36) is RoHS compliant. Packaging for the substitute is bulk rather than the original specification.

Q: Are the mating dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical pitch (2.5mm), contact length (4.50mm mating, 2.90mm post), insulation height (8.00mm), and shrouding configuration.

Q: Do these connectors support the same current and temperature ranges?

A: Yes. Both are rated for 3A continuous current and operate across -35°C to 85°C.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a concern for substitution?

A: The substitute DF1E-8P-2.5DS(36) is RoHS compliant. If your application requires RoHS certification, this substitute meets that requirement. The original part does not specify RoHS status.
