Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF3A-5P-2DSA(14) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Number of positions (5)
• Pitch specification (2.00mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening type (Push-Pull)
• Current rating (3A)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
• Contact material and finish specifications
• Insulation material (Polyamide/Nylon)

The substitute part DF3A-5P-2DSA maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete variant, differing only in product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF3A-5P-2DSA serves as the direct active equivalent for the obsolete DF3A-5P-2DSA(14). Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the DF3 series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The substitute part offers the advantage of active product status with current manufacturing availability. Both variants comply with RoHS requirements, with the substitute meeting ROHS3 compliance standards and REACH unaffected status, providing enhanced regulatory alignment for new designs and ongoing production.

Packaging differs between the variants (bulk packaging for the substitute versus the original configuration), but this distinction does not affect functional compatibility or performance characteristics in circuit applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are DF3A-5P-2DSA(14) and DF3A-5P-2DSA electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical specifications for pitch (2.00mm), number of positions (5), contact materials, current rating (3A), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), and all mechanical dimensions. Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the significance of the "(14)" designation in DF3A-5P-2DSA(14)?

A: The "(14)" suffix typically indicates a specific packaging or manufacturing variant within the part family. The base part number DF3A-5P-2DSA represents the functional equivalent without this suffix designation.

Q: Does the insulation color difference (Yellow vs. Black) affect compatibility?

A: Insulation color is a visual identification feature only and does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional compatibility. Selection between color variants is based on application requirements or internal documentation standards.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts comply with UL94 V-0 flammability standards, RoHS requirements, and maintain EAR99 export classification. The substitute part additionally carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Q: Is the substitute part available in the same packaging as the original?

A: The substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Original packaging specifications should be confirmed with the supplier if specific packaging requirements exist for your application.
