Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF3-6S-2DSA(50) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Number of positions: 6
• Pitch - mating: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Contact finish - mating: Gold
• Current rating: 3A
• Voltage rating: 30VAC
• Operating temperature range: -30°C ~ 85°C
• Fastening type: Friction lock
• Insulation material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon

The DF3-6S-2DSA(55) meets all these criteria and is identified as a direct substitute within the DF3 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF3-6S-2DSA(55) is the direct substitute for the obsolete DF3-6S-2DSA(50). Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance: the DF3-6S-2DSA(55) is active and ROHS3 compliant, whereas the DF3-6S-2DSA(50) is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or ongoing procurement, the DF3-6S-2DSA(55) is the appropriate selection. The DF3-6S-2DSA(55) is supplied in tube packaging, whereas packaging information for the DF3-6S-2DSA(50) is not specified.
