Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF33R-3S-3.3C is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Must be a receptacle housing with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: Must maintain 3 positions at 0.130" (3.30mm) pitch spacing
• Termination Method: Must support crimp termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Must feature latch lock fastening
• Mounting Configuration: Must be free hanging (in-line) style
• Moisture Sensitivity: Must maintain MSL 1 rating or equivalent

The DF33C-3S-3.3C qualifies as a direct substitute, sharing identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary difference is the housing color (white versus black) and product status transition from obsolete to active.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF33C-3S-3.3C is the designated manufacturer substitute for the obsolete DF33R-3S-3.3C. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct functional compatibility in applications requiring 3-position, 3.30mm pitch receptacle housings with crimp termination and latch lock fastening.

The DF33C-3S-3.3C offers the advantage of active product status with confirmed ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification, providing regulatory assurance for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The housing color difference (white versus black) is a cosmetic variation that does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF33C-3S-3.3C directly replace the DF33R-3S-3.3C in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical specifications for connector type, position count, pitch, contact configuration, termination method, and fastening mechanism. The housing color difference does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from obsolete to active?

A: The DF33C-3S-3.3C is currently in active production with confirmed inventory availability, ensuring reliable sourcing for both replacement and new design applications. The DF33R-3S-3.3C is no longer manufactured.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: The DF33C-3S-3.3C carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification. Compliance documentation for the DF33R-3S-3.3C was not provided in the available specifications.

Q: Does the housing color affect electrical performance?

A: No. Housing color is a cosmetic attribute that does not influence electrical characteristics, impedance, signal integrity, or mechanical performance.

Q: Are contacts included with these receptacle housings?

A: No. Both the DF33R-3S-3.3C and DF33C-3S-3.3C are supplied as housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped according to manufacturer specifications.
