Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DF3EA-14P-2H(21) qualifies as a direct substitute for the DF3DZ-14P-2H(21) based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Connector Series: Both parts belong to the DF3 series from Hirose Electric Co Ltd
• Number of Positions: Both feature 14 positions in a single row
• Pitch - Mating: Both maintain 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch spacing
• Connector Type & Contact Type: Both are male pin headers
• Mounting Configuration: Both are surface mount, right-angle designs
• Shrouding: Both feature shrouded 4-wall construction
• Termination & Fastening: Both use solder termination with push-pull fastening
• Insulation Height: Both maintain 0.220" (5.60mm) insulation height
• Contact Material & Finish: Both use brass contacts with tin finish
• Insulation Material: Both use polyamide (PA) nylon
• Operating Temperature Range: Both operate -55°C ~ 105°C
• Flammability Rating: Both meet UL94 V-0
• RoHS Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant
• MSL Rating: Both have MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The primary distinction is product status: DF3EA-14P-2H(21) is currently active, whereas DF3DZ-14P-2H(21) is discontinued.
