Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the DF20F-3032SCFA(41) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the DF20 series
• Contact Type: Socket contact configuration required
• Wire Gauge: 30-32 AWG specification must be maintained
• Termination Method: Crimp termination required
• Contact Finish: Gold plating required
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification

The substitute part DF20F-3032SCFA(44) meets all these criteria while offering the advantage of Active product status and standardized Tape & Reel packaging, making it suitable for direct replacement in applications currently using the obsolete DF20F-3032SCFA(41).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF20F-3032SCFA(44) is the direct equivalent substitute for the DF20F-3032SCFA(41). Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: DF20 series platform, socket contact configuration, 30-32 AWG wire gauge, crimp termination, and gold contact finish.

The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: DF20F-3032SCFA(41) is Obsolete, while DF20F-3032SCFA(44) maintains Active status. Additionally, DF20F-3032SCFA(44) carries RoHS Compliance certification and is supplied in standard Tape & Reel packaging, providing advantages for modern supply chain and regulatory requirements.

For applications currently specified with DF20F-3032SCFA(41), direct substitution with DF20F-3032SCFA(44) is supported without modification to circuit design, assembly procedures, or electrical performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF20F-3032SCFA(44) be used as a direct replacement for DF20F-3032SCFA(41)?

A: Yes. Both components are socket contacts within the DF20 series with identical wire gauge (30-32 AWG), crimp termination, and gold contact finish specifications. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is complete.

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

A: The primary differences are product status (Obsolete vs. Active), RoHS compliance certification (not specified vs. RoHS Compliant), and packaging format (not specified vs. Tape & Reel). The functional socket contact specifications are identical.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging of DF20F-3032SCFA(44) affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect the electrical or mechanical performance of the socket contact itself. Tape & Reel is a standard supply format that simplifies automated assembly processes.

Q: Are there any wire gauge restrictions when substituting?

A: No. Both parts maintain the same 30-32 AWG wire gauge specification, ensuring compatibility with existing wiring and termination equipment.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these components?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates these components have no moisture sensitivity limitations and do not require special storage or handling conditions related to moisture exposure.
