Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DF3EA-5P-2H(21) qualifies as a direct substitute for the DF3DZ-5P-2H(21) based on the following matching parameters:

• Series: DF3 (same connector family)
• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 5
• Pitch - Mating: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Termination: Solder
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 105°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Contact Material: Brass
• Contact Finish: Tin

The primary distinction is product status: DF3DZ-5P-2H(21) is discontinued, while DF3EA-5P-2H(21) is active with higher inventory availability (3526 Pcs vs. 772 Pcs).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF3EA-5P-2H(21) is the direct substitute for DF3DZ-5P-2H(21). Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the DF3 series. The DF3EA-5P-2H(21) is preferred for new designs and ongoing production due to active product status and superior inventory availability. Both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements and UL94 V-0 flammability standards. The DF3EA-5P-2H(21) carries ROHS3 compliance, representing the current regulatory standard. Packaging format differs (Tape & Reel for DF3EA-5P-2H(21) vs. unspecified for DF3DZ-5P-2H(21)), which may influence procurement workflows but does not affect functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF3EA-5P-2H(21) be used as a direct replacement for DF3DZ-5P-2H(21)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector specifications including pitch, position count, mounting type, shrouding, and fastening mechanism. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is complete.

Q: What is the primary reason to switch from DF3DZ-5P-2H(21) to DF3EA-5P-2H(21)?

A: DF3DZ-5P-2H(21) is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. DF3EA-5P-2H(21) is an active product with significantly higher inventory (3526 Pcs vs. 772 Pcs), ensuring supply continuity.

Q: Are there differences in compliance certifications between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and UL94 V-0 rated. DF3EA-5P-2H(21) carries ROHS3 compliance, which represents the current regulatory standard. Both meet MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity requirements.

Q: Does packaging format affect compatibility?

A: No. DF3EA-5P-2H(21) is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while DF3DZ-5P-2H(21) packaging is unspecified. Packaging affects procurement and handling procedures but not functional or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are operating temperature ranges identical?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -55°C to 105°C, maintaining identical thermal performance specifications.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on matching series (DF3), connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), position count (5), pitch (2.00mm), mounting type (Surface Mount, Right Angle), shrouding (4 Wall), fastening type (Push-Pull), termination method (Solder), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C).
