DF3-13S-2R26(05) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF3-13S-2R26(05) is a 13-position rectangular receptacle connector manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd. This connector features IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with tin contact finish and 26 AWG wire gauge capability. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The DF3 series provides standardized 2.00mm pitch rectangular connectivity for discrete wire applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF3-13S-2R26(05) is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Series Compatibility: DF3 series maintains standardized mechanical and electrical interfaces
• Position Count: 13 positions required for pin-to-pin compatibility
• Pitch Specification: 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch ensures proper mating alignment
• Connector Type & Contact Type: Receptacle with female socket contacts for consistent mating interface
• Number of Rows: Single-row configuration for identical footprint
• Mounting Type: Free hanging in-line mounting for equivalent installation method
• RoHS Compliance: Maintained across all substitutes for regulatory consistency

The identified substitute part DF3-13S-2C shares all critical mechanical and electrical parameters with the main part. The primary difference lies in the termination method: the substitute uses crimp termination rather than IDC termination, requiring contact assembly rather than direct wire insertion.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF3-13S-2C serves as the active substitute for the obsolete DF3-13S-2R26(05). Both components maintain identical mechanical interfaces, electrical specifications, and regulatory compliance status. The substitute is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability.

The transition from IDC to crimp termination represents the primary functional difference. IDC termination allows direct wire insertion without contact assembly, while crimp termination requires pre-assembled contacts. This distinction affects assembly methodology but does not alter the connector's mechanical or electrical performance characteristics.

Both components maintain RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF3-13S-2C directly replace DF3-13S-2R26(05) in existing assemblies?

A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed. The housing and pin configuration are identical. Assembly methodology differs due to termination type: IDC versus crimp. Existing IDC-terminated cables cannot be directly reused; new crimp-terminated contacts must be assembled.

Q: What is the difference between IDC and crimp termination?

A: IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination allows wire insertion directly into the connector without prior contact assembly. Crimp termination requires individual contacts to be crimped onto wire conductors before insertion into the housing. Both methods achieve equivalent electrical and mechanical connections.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for the substitute part?

A: DF3-13S-2C is in active production status with 720 pieces available in stock. The original DF3-13S-2R26(05) is obsolete with 1121 pieces remaining in inventory.

Q: Does the substitute maintain the same pitch and position count?

A: Yes. Both components feature 13 positions at 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch in a single-row configuration, ensuring identical mating interface and footprint.

Q: Are regulatory certifications maintained with the substitute?

A: Yes. Both components are RoHS compliant with MSL rating 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), maintaining full regulatory equivalence.
