Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF22L-2P-7.92DS(96) is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Header
• Contact type: Male Pin
• Number of positions: 2
• Pitch - mating: 0.312" (7.92mm)
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening type: Latch Holder
• Voltage rating: 1000V
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS compliance: Required

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Product status: Obsolete to Active transition acceptable
• Operating temperature range: Extended range acceptable (wider operating window)
• Contact finish: Variations permitted (Gold finish acceptable)
• Insulation material composition: Glass-filled variants acceptable
• Insulation color: Variations permitted
• Current rating specification format: Variations in documentation acceptable

The DF22L-2P-7.92DS(93) qualifies as a direct substitute based on these criteria, representing an active production alternative within the same DF22 series family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF22L-2P-7.92DS(93) is the qualified substitute for the obsolete DF22L-2P-7.92DS(96). Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status & Supply Chain: The DF22L-2P-7.92DS(93) maintains active production status with 983 units in current inventory, compared to the obsolete status of the original part. This ensures long-term supply availability for both new designs and field service requirements.

Electrical & Mechanical Compatibility: All critical electrical parameters remain identical: 1000V voltage rating, 25A current capacity, and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Mechanical dimensions, pitch spacing (0.312"), mounting configuration (through-hole right-angle), and contact geometry are fully preserved.

Compliance & Certification: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The substitute part's extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C versus -35°C to 85°C) provides enhanced thermal performance without compromising the original specification envelope.

Material Enhancement: The substitute incorporates glass-filled polyamide insulation material, which provides improved mechanical and thermal properties compared to standard nylon while maintaining full electrical and dimensional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF22L-2P-7.92DS(93) be used as a direct replacement for DF22L-2P-7.92DS(96)?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch spacing (0.312"), position count (2), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), voltage rating (1000V), and contact geometry. The substitute is mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between the contact shapes listed (Square vs. Rectangular)?

A: Contact shape designation reflects internal documentation variations within the same physical contact geometry. Both parts maintain identical contact length specifications (0.354" mating, 0.146" post) and are fully compatible.

Q: Does the gold contact finish on the substitute part affect compatibility?

A: No. Contact finish variations do not impact mechanical mating or electrical performance. Gold finish on the DF22L-2P-7.92DS(93) provides enhanced corrosion resistance and is fully compatible with standard mating receptacles.

Q: Is the extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) a concern for existing designs?

A: No. The extended range represents an enhancement. Designs specified for -35°C to 85°C operation remain fully compliant when using the substitute part with its -55°C to 85°C capability.

Q: Are there any package or inventory considerations?

A: The substitute part is in active production with 983 units in stock, compared to limited availability of the obsolete original. For new procurement, the DF22L-2P-7.92DS(93) is the recommended selection.

Q: Does the glass-filled insulation material affect electrical performance?

A: No. Glass-filled polyamide maintains the same electrical properties and UL94 V-0 flammability rating as standard nylon. The enhancement provides improved mechanical strength and thermal stability.
