DF3-13P-2DSA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF3-13P-2DSA is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for through-hole mounting applications. This 13-position connector operates at 2.00mm pitch and supports 3A current rating across an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF3-13P-2DSA is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), number of positions (13), mating pitch (2.00mm), mounting type (through hole), shrouding configuration (shrouded - 4 wall), current rating (3A), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and insulation material (polyamide/nylon).

The identified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in product status, contact finish material, contact finish thickness, and packaging do not affect functional interchangeability in applications designed for the DF3-13P-2DSA.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For new designs and ongoing procurement, DF3A-13P-2DSA is the primary active substitute. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete DF3-13P-2DSA while offering ROHS3 compliance status and active product availability.

DF3-13P-2DSA(01) serves as an alternative active substitute with identical core specifications. This variant features gold contact finish on the mating surface compared to tin finish on the main part and DF3A-13P-2DSA. The gold finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance in specific environmental applications. This part carries RoHS compliance status and bulk packaging configuration.

Both substitutes maintain the same operating temperature range, current rating, flammability rating, and mechanical dimensions as the original part. Selection between DF3A-13P-2DSA and DF3-13P-2DSA(01) depends on contact finish requirements and packaging preferences for procurement workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF3A-13P-2DSA directly replace DF3-13P-2DSA in existing applications?

A: Yes. DF3A-13P-2DSA maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 13 positions, 2.00mm pitch, 3A current rating, through-hole mounting, and operating temperature range. The part is functionally interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between DF3A-13P-2DSA and DF3-13P-2DSA(01)?

A: Both are active substitutes with identical core specifications. The primary difference is contact finish: DF3A-13P-2DSA uses tin finish on mating contacts, while DF3-13P-2DSA(01) uses gold finish. Gold finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance in certain environmental conditions. Packaging differs as well: DF3A-13P-2DSA is supplied in bag packaging, while DF3-13P-2DSA(01) is supplied in bulk.

Q: Why is the original DF3-13P-2DSA marked as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects manufacturer lifecycle decisions. Active substitutes DF3A-13P-2DSA and DF3-13P-2DSA(01) provide continued design support with improved compliance status.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance differences between the substitutes?

A: Yes. The original DF3-13P-2DSA is RoHS non-compliant. DF3A-13P-2DSA is ROHS3 compliant, and DF3-13P-2DSA(01) is RoHS compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, either substitute is suitable.

Q: Do packaging differences affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging (bag versus bulk) affects procurement and handling logistics only. Electrical and mechanical performance remains identical across all three part numbers.

Q: What contact finish should I select for my application?

A: Tin finish (DF3A-13P-2DSA) is suitable for standard applications. Gold finish (DF3-13P-2DSA(01)) is specified for applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance or extended shelf life in high-humidity environments.
