DF3-14P-2DS Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The DF3-14P-2DS is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board or cable applications. This 14-position connector operates at 3A current rating with a 2.00mm pitch and features shrouded 4-wall construction with push-pull fastening. The DF3-14P-2DS is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution of the DF3-14P-2DS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:
- Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
- Number of positions and row configuration (14 positions, 1 row)
- Mating pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm)
- Mounting style and orientation (Through Hole, Right Angle)
- Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
- Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
- Current and temperature ratings (3A, -55°C ~ 105°C)
- Material flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)
The DF3A-14P-2DS meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete DF3-14P-2DS.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
The DF3A-14P-2DS is the direct substitute for the obsolete DF3-14P-2DS. Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and dimensional specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the DF3-14P-2DS is obsolete, while the DF3A-14P-2DS is active and currently in production.
An additional compliance advantage exists with the DF3A-14P-2DS: it is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the DF3-14P-2DS is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the DF3A-14P-2DS is the required selection. Both parts maintain identical REACH and ECCN classifications.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the DF3A-14P-2DS be used as a direct replacement for the DF3-14P-2DS?
A: Yes. The DF3A-14P-2DS is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the DF3-14P-2DS. All critical parameters—connector type, position count, pitch, mounting style, shrouding, fastening mechanism, current rating, and temperature range—are identical. The DF3A-14P-2DS is the active production equivalent of the obsolete DF3-14P-2DS.
Q: What is the difference between the DF3-14P-2DS and DF3A-14P-2DS?
A: The primary differences are product status and RoHS compliance. The DF3-14P-2DS is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The DF3A-14P-2DS is active in production and ROHS3 compliant. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.
Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?
A: The DF3-14P-2DS packaging is not specified in available data. The DF3A-14P-2DS is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification.
Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect electrical performance?
A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental regulations, not electrical performance. Both parts operate identically within the specified -55°C ~ 105°C temperature range at 3A current rating.
Q: Can I use these connectors in high-temperature applications?
A: Both parts are rated for -55°C ~ 105°C operation. Confirm that your application requirements fall within this range.
Q: What is the current-carrying capacity of these connectors?
A: Both the DF3-14P-2DS and DF3A-14P-2DS are rated for 3A per contact.
