Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DF23C-10DP-0.5V(91) is qualified as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

• Connector Type & Position Count: Both parts are 10-position connector plugs with outer shroud contacts
• Pitch & Row Configuration: Identical 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch with 2-row arrangement
• Mounting Technology: Both utilize surface mount technology
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold-plated contacts on both parts
• Physical Dimensions: Matching mated stacking height (1.5mm) and height above board (0.047" / 1.20mm)
• Base Product Series: Both belong to the DF23 series from Hirose Electric Co Ltd

The substitution is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the rectangular connector category, ensuring pin-to-pin compatibility and identical footprint characteristics.
