Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF22A-1012SC is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Part must belong to EnerBee™ DF22 series
• Contact Type: Socket contact configuration required
• Termination Method: Crimp termination only
• Wire Gauge: 10-12 AWG specification
• Stamped Construction: Type must be stamped
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS Compliant status required

The substitute part DF22A-1012SCA maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while differing only in contact finish material (Gold vs. Tin) and product status (Active vs. Obsolete). This contact finish variation does not affect functional compatibility within the DF22 connector system.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF22A-1012SCA serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete DF22A-1012SC. Both components maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the EnerBee™ DF22 connector family. The DF22A-1012SCA is the manufacturer-recommended replacement, offering Active product status with full RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Selection between these parts should be based on product availability and application requirements. The DF22A-1012SCA is preferred for new designs and ongoing production due to its Active status and continued manufacturer support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF22A-1012SCA replace DF22A-1012SC in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both components are socket contacts within the EnerBee™ DF22 series with identical wire gauge (10-12 AWG), crimp termination, and stamped construction. The contact finish difference (Gold vs. Tin) does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility within the connector system.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference?

A: The DF22A-1012SC features tin plating, while DF22A-1012SCA features gold plating. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. Gold plating offers enhanced contact reliability in high-reliability applications. The choice depends on application requirements and environmental conditions.

Q: Why is DF22A-1012SC classified as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The DF22A-1012SCA remains in active production as the current equivalent offering.

Q: Are both parts RoHS Compliant?

A: Yes. Both DF22A-1012SC and DF22A-1012SCA are RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The DF22A-1012SCA is supplied in Bag packaging.
