Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF1EE-6P-2.5DSA(35) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Series: Header connector within the DF1E series family
• Position Count & Pitch: 6 positions at 0.098" (2.50mm) mating pitch
• Contact Configuration: Male pin contacts with square shape
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination with latch holder fastening
• Electrical Performance: 3A current rating and -35°C to 85°C operating temperature range
• Mechanical Construction: Shrouded 4-wall design with brass contacts and tin finish
• Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance

The DF1EG-6P-2.5DSA(35) meets all substitution criteria as an active product within the same DF1E series, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved procurement availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF1EG-6P-2.5DSA(35) is the direct substitute for the obsolete DF1EE-6P-2.5DSA(35). Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including current rating, operating temperature range, contact configuration, and mounting characteristics. The DF1EG variant is classified as an active product with ROHS3 compliance and significantly higher inventory availability (6029 units versus 814 units for the obsolete part). Selection of the DF1EG-6P-2.5DSA(35) ensures long-term design support and supply chain continuity without requiring circuit modifications or mechanical redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF1EG-6P-2.5DSA(35) be used as a direct replacement for the DF1EE-6P-2.5DSA(35)?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical ratings (3A, -35°C to 85°C), mechanical configuration (6 positions, 2.5mm pitch, through-hole solder termination), and contact specifications (male pins, square shape, tin-plated brass). The DF1EG variant is the active equivalent within the DF1E series.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (DF1EE is obsolete; DF1EG is active), insulation height (10.80mm versus 16.30mm), contact post length (3.60mm versus 3.00mm), and RoHS certification level (RoHS Compliant versus ROHS3 Compliant). These dimensional variations do not affect electrical compatibility or functional performance in standard applications.

Q: Are there any packaging differences?

A: The DF1EE-6P-2.5DSA(35) is supplied without specified packaging, while the DF1EG-6P-2.5DSA(35) is packaged in bulk. Both parts maintain identical connector specifications and are suitable for the same PCB footprints and mating interfaces.

Q: Does the change in insulation height affect PCB layout?

A: The insulation height difference (10.80mm to 16.30mm) reflects the physical profile of the connector body. PCB footprint compatibility is determined by pitch, position count, and mounting hole pattern, which remain identical. Verify clearance in the vertical direction for your specific application geometry.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The DF1EE-6P-2.5DSA(35) is RoHS Compliant, and the DF1EG-6P-2.5DSA(35) is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet environmental compliance requirements for restricted substance use.
