Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DF3-7S-2C qualifies as a direct substitute for the DF3-7S-2C(10) based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical series designation (DF3)
• Identical number of positions (7)
• Identical pitch specification (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Identical connector type (Receptacle)
• Identical contact type (Female Socket)
• Identical number of rows (1)
• Identical mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Identical contact termination method (Crimp)
• Identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)

The primary difference between these parts is product status and color specification. The DF3-7S-2C(10) is Obsolete with White housing, while DF3-7S-2C is Active with Black housing. Both parts maintain the same base product number (DF3-7) and are manufactured by the same supplier.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF3-7S-2C is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete DF3-7S-2C(10). Selection is based on the following factors:

• The DF3-7S-2C maintains Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability
• Both parts carry equivalent RoHS compliance certifications (RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant)
• Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical across all critical parameters
• The DF3-7S-2C provides documented operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) and material composition (Polyamide/Nylon insulation)
• Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications
• Color difference (White to Black) is a cosmetic variation that does not affect functional compatibility

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are DF3-7S-2C(10) and DF3-7S-2C electrically compatible?

A: Yes. Both parts are 7-position receptacles with 2.00mm pitch, identical contact types (Female Socket), and identical termination methods (Crimp). They are electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the color difference?

A: The color difference (White vs. Black) is a housing cosmetic specification and does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Selection should be based on application requirements for visual identification or environmental factors.

Q: Why is DF3-7S-2C(10) listed as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The DF3-7S-2C serves as the current production equivalent and should be used for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The DF3-7S-2C(10) packaging is not specified in available data. The DF3-7S-2C is supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Do both parts require separate contact procurement?

A: Yes. Both the DF3-7S-2C(10) and DF3-7S-2C are housings only. Contacts are not included and must be procured separately according to your application requirements.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The DF3-7S-2C carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. Both are classified as EAR99 for export control purposes and are REACH Unaffected (DF3-7S-2C).
