DF33-10DS-3.3C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF33-10DS-3.3C is a 10-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, part of the EnerBee™ DF33 series. This receptacle connector features a 0.130" (3.30mm) pitch with 2 rows and a 0.228" (5.80mm) row spacing, designed for free hanging in-line mounting with crimp termination and latch lock fastening. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and component sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF33-10DS-3.3C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (10)
• Pitch specification (0.130" / 3.30mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Row spacing (0.228" / 5.80mm)
• Mounting method (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Lock)

The substitute part DF33C-10DS-3.3C maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original part across all these parameters. Variations in color (Natural vs. White), product status (Obsolete vs. Active), and series designation (DF33 vs. DF33C) do not affect functional interchangeability for connector housing applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF33C-10DS-3.3C is the direct substitute for the obsolete DF33-10DS-3.3C. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical connector parameters. The substitute part offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.

The DF33C-10DS-3.3C carries ROHS3 compliance, representing an updated regulatory certification compared to the original RoHS Compliant designation. Both parts maintain MSL 1 rating and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, confirming regulatory and trade equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF33C-10DS-3.3C directly replace DF33-10DS-3.3C in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all connector specifications including pitch, row configuration, contact type, termination method, and fastening mechanism. The parts are functionally interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the color difference between Natural and White housings?

A: Color variation does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. The selection between Natural and White is determined by application requirements, assembly documentation, or visual identification standards specific to the end system.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The DF33C-10DS-3.3C carries the updated ROHS3 certification. Both maintain identical MSL 1 ratings and export classifications (EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.8000).

Q: Why is the original part listed as Obsolete?

A: The DF33-10DS-3.3C has been superseded by the DF33C-10DS-3.3C within Hirose's product portfolio. The substitute part maintains full compatibility while offering active product status and current supply availability.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the DF33-10DS-3.3C and DF33C-10DS-3.3C are supplied as housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to Hirose specifications.
