DF3-14S-2R28(01) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF3-14S-2R28(01) is a 14-position rectangular receptacle connector manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with 28 AWG discrete wiring. This connector features gold-plated contacts, a closed-end housing, and operates across a wide temperature range. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where legacy compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF3-14S-2R28(01) is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the DF3 series
• Connector Configuration: 14-position receptacle with female socket contacts
• Pitch Specification: 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch for mechanical alignment
• Housing Compatibility: Black polyamide (PA) nylon housing
• Electrical Compliance: RoHS compliance status and EAR99 ECCN classification

The DF3-14S-2C qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical parameters. However, the termination method differs: the original part uses IDC termination, while the substitute uses crimp termination. This distinction requires evaluation based on application requirements and existing cable assemblies.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF3-14S-2C is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete DF3-14S-2R28(01). Both connectors maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the DF3 series, ensuring physical and functional compatibility in applications requiring 14-position rectangular receptacle connectors with 2.00mm pitch.

The primary distinction between these parts is the termination method: IDC versus crimp. The original part accommodates discrete 28 AWG wires through insulation displacement, while the substitute requires pre-crimped contacts. Selection between these options depends on existing cable assembly infrastructure and termination equipment availability.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), supporting deployment in standard industrial and commercial environments. The substitute's active product status ensures continued availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF3-14S-2C directly replace the DF3-14S-2R28(01) in existing assemblies?

A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed. The connector housings, contact arrangements, and pitch specifications are identical. However, termination method compatibility must be evaluated: the original uses IDC termination while the substitute uses crimp termination. Existing cable assemblies designed for IDC termination require re-termination or replacement with crimp-terminated cables.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by series (DF3), connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), position count (14), and pitch (2.00mm). These parameters ensure mechanical fit and electrical performance equivalence. Termination method, while functionally different, does not prevent substitution when appropriate cable assemblies are available.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the original and substitute parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The original carries RoHS Compliant status while the substitute carries ROHS3 Compliant status, representing an updated compliance standard. Both maintain EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS codes. The substitute's REACH Unaffected status provides additional regulatory clarity.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The original part is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The substitute maintains active product status, ensuring reliable supply chain access and continued manufacturer support. This distinction is critical for long-term system maintenance and new design implementations.

Q: Are contact finish specifications equivalent?

A: The original part specifies gold contact finish. The substitute part does not provide contact finish specifications in available documentation. Contact finish compatibility should be confirmed through direct manufacturer consultation if gold plating is a critical requirement for your application.
