  • Identical electrical specifications: 9-position, 2.00mm pitch, 3A current rating, -55°C to 105°C operating range
  • Identical mechanical specifications: Through-hole mounting, shrouded 4-wall configuration, push-pull fastening
  • Maintained compliance certifications: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance
  • Active product status with established supply chain and manufacturing continuity
  • Moisture Sensitivity Level upgraded to 1 (Unlimited) in the active variant, providing enhanced handling flexibility

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF3A-9P-2DSA directly replace DF3A-9P-2DSA(10)?

A: Yes. The DF3A-9P-2DSA is the active equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, and operating parameters.

Q: What is the difference between the obsolete and active part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. The DF3A-9P-2DSA(10) is obsolete with limited inventory, while DF3A-9P-2DSA is active with full manufacturing support and 103,325 pcs in stock. All functional specifications remain identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The obsolete variant packaging is unspecified. The active DF3A-9P-2DSA is supplied in Bulk packaging, standard for this connector series.

Q: Does the Moisture Sensitivity Level change affect compatibility?

A: No. The upgrade from Not Applicable to MSL 1 (Unlimited) in the active variant indicates improved handling characteristics and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The DF3A-9P-2DSA maintains UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance, consistent with the obsolete variant.

Q: Is the DF3A-9P-2DSA suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. As an active product with established supply chain and full compliance certifications, it is appropriate for both replacement applications and new design implementations.
