DF3-14P-2DSA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF3-14P-2DSA is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for through-hole board-to-board or cable applications. This 14-position connector operates at 2.00mm pitch with a 3A current rating and operates across -55°C to 105°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing design support and procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF3-14P-2DSA is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (14)
• Mating pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Press-Fit, Solder)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Current rating (3A)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The DF3A-14P-2DSA meets all these criteria and represents the active product line equivalent within the Hirose DF3 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF3A-14P-2DSA is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete DF3-14P-2DSA. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including pitch, position count, current rating, and operating temperature range.

The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance. The DF3A-14P-2DSA is an active product with ROHS3 compliance, whereas the DF3-14P-2DSA is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or ongoing procurement, the DF3A-14P-2DSA is the appropriate selection. The DF3A variant provides equivalent functional performance with current manufacturing support and regulatory alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are DF3-14P-2DSA and DF3A-14P-2DSA mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical dimensions, mounting type (through-hole), shrouding configuration (4-wall), and contact geometry. They are pin-compatible and footprint-compatible.

Q: What is the difference between DF3 and DF3A series?

A: The DF3A represents the active product line evolution of the DF3 series. The DF3A-14P-2DSA maintains all functional specifications of the DF3-14P-2DSA while providing current manufacturing availability and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Can DF3A-14P-2DSA be used in applications originally designed for DF3-14P-2DSA?

A: Yes. The DF3A-14P-2DSA meets all electrical and mechanical requirements of the original specification, including current rating (3A), operating temperature (-55°C to 105°C), and contact configuration.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The DF3-14P-2DSA packaging is not specified in available data. The DF3A-14P-2DSA is supplied in bag packaging.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance considerations for substitution?

A: The DF3-14P-2DSA is RoHS non-compliant. The DF3A-14P-2DSA is ROHS3 compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the DF3A-14P-2DSA is the appropriate selection.
