Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the DF3-9S-2C(10) is based on the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer Series: DF3 series maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Number of Positions: 9-position configuration
• Pitch Specification: 0.079" (2.00mm) contact spacing
• Connector Type: Receptacle housing
• Contact Type: Female socket configuration
• Mounting Type: Free hanging (in-line) orientation
• Contact Termination: Crimp termination method

The recommended substitute DF3-9S-2C shares the identical base product number (DF3-9) and all critical mechanical and electrical parameters with the obsolete part, ensuring direct functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF3-9S-2C is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete DF3-9S-2C(10). Selection is based on:

• Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains Active status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain reliability
• Regulatory Compliance: The DF3-9S-2C carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical pitch, position count, connector type, and mounting configuration ensure direct form-fit-function replacement
• Electrical Compatibility: Matching contact type and termination method maintain signal integrity and connection reliability

For applications requiring the obsolete DF3-9S-2C(10), the DF3-9S-2C provides equivalent performance with the advantage of active production status and current regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF3-9S-2C directly replace the DF3-9S-2C(10)?
