Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the DF33A-2022SCF(40) is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Socket contact type within the EnerBee™ DF33 series
• 20-22 AWG wire gauge specification
• Crimp termination method
• Tin contact finish
• RoHS compliance certification
• MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part DF33A-2022SCF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part. The primary distinction is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format, while the substitute is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both parts share the same base product number DF33A and are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF33A-2022SCF serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete DF33A-2022SCF(40). Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including wire gauge, termination method, contact finish, and compliance certifications. The substitute part is currently in active production status, ensuring availability for new procurement and system maintenance applications.

Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements. Cut Tape (CT) packaging is suitable for lower-volume applications and manual assembly processes, while Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is optimized for high-volume automated assembly operations. Both packaging formats contain the same contact component with identical performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF33A-2022SCF be used as a direct replacement for DF33A-2022SCF(40)?

A: Yes. Both parts are socket contacts within the EnerBee™ DF33 series with identical wire gauge (20-22 AWG), crimp termination, tin finish, and compliance ratings. The functional and electrical specifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape (CT) and Tape & Reel (TR) packaging?

A: Cut Tape packaging supplies components in smaller quantities on individual tape segments, suitable for manual assembly and low-volume applications. Tape & Reel packaging provides components on continuous reels optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly systems and high-volume production. The contact component itself is identical in both formats.

Q: Why is DF33A-2022SCF(40) listed as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence typically reflects manufacturing discontinuation or transition to newer packaging or product variants. The DF33A-2022SCF in Tape & Reel format remains in active production and serves the same functional requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both DF33A-2022SCF(40) and DF33A-2022SCF are RoHS compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component applications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing assemblies?

A: Yes, provided the assembly process accommodates the packaging format. The contact specifications are identical, ensuring functional compatibility in any application designed for 20-22 AWG socket contacts with crimp termination and tin finish within the DF33 series.
