DF22-2S-7.92C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF22-2S-7.92C is a 2-position rectangular connector receptacle housing manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd as part of the EnerBee™ DF22 series. This component is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinuation from active production. The connector features a 0.312" (7.92mm) pitch, white polyamide housing, and crimp-type female socket contacts with latch lock fastening and polarizing key features.

Due to the obsolete status of the original DF22-2S-7.92C, identifying functionally equivalent active alternatives is essential for ongoing system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where this connector type is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF22-2S-7.92C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle housing only
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 2
• Pitch: 0.312" (7.92mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock
• Color: White
• Features: Polarizing Key

The substitute part DF22-2S-7.92C(28) maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters, with the primary distinction being packaging format (Bulk versus standard) and product status transition from Obsolete to Active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF22-2S-7.92C(28) is the direct functional equivalent for applications currently using the obsolete DF22-2S-7.92C. Selection of the substitute part is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The substitute transitions from Obsolete to Active status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support for future procurement cycles.

Regulatory Compliance: The DF22-2S-7.92C(28) achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance upgrade is significant for applications subject to RoHS directives and environmental regulations.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: All critical connector parameters remain identical, including pitch, contact configuration, termination method, and fastening mechanism. This ensures direct mechanical and electrical interchangeability without design modification.

Inventory Availability: The substitute part maintains substantially higher stock levels (4600 Pcs versus 1063 Pcs), supporting both immediate procurement needs and long-term supply chain stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF22-2S-7.92C(28) be used as a direct replacement for DF22-2S-7.92C?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and fastening mechanism. The substitute maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the "(28)" designation in DF22-2S-7.92C(28)?

A: The "(28)" suffix indicates packaging format. DF22-2S-7.92C(28) is supplied in Bulk packaging, whereas the original DF22-2S-7.92C uses standard packaging. Functional specifications remain unchanged.

Q: Why is the original DF22-2S-7.92C marked as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part has been discontinued from active production by the manufacturer. The DF22-2S-7.92C(28) represents the active production equivalent within the same EnerBee™ DF22 series.

Q: Does the RoHS3 compliance of DF22-2S-7.92C(28) affect compatibility?

A: No. RoHS3 compliance is a regulatory and environmental attribute that does not alter electrical or mechanical performance. It represents an improvement over the non-compliant original part for applications subject to RoHS directives.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both DF22-2S-7.92C and DF22-2S-7.92C(28) are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: The DF22-2S-7.92C(28) operates across -55°C to 85°C. Operating temperature specifications for the original DF22-2S-7.92C were not provided in the technical documentation.
