• Solder retention feature for enhanced assembly reliability
• Specified voltage rating of 250VAC
• ROHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements
• Identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) and flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Both parts are classified as EAR99 and share the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4040), confirming regulatory equivalence. The substitute part maintains all critical mechanical parameters including 2.00mm pitch, 5-position configuration, shrouded 4-wall construction, and push-pull fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF3EA-5P-2H(51) be used as a direct replacement for DF3DZ-5P-2H(76)?

A: Yes. Both connectors are members of the Hirose DF3 series with identical pin pitch (2.00mm), position count (5), mounting configuration (surface mount right-angle), and contact type (male pin). The mechanical and electrical interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What is the difference between the DF3DZ and DF3EA variants?

A: The primary differences are product status and contact finish specifications. The DF3DZ-5P-2H(76) is discontinued, while the DF3EA-5P-2H(51) is an active product. The DF3EA variant includes gold-plated contacts (8.00µin thickness) and solder retention features, providing enhanced reliability and corrosion resistance compared to the DF3DZ variant.

Q: Are the packaging formats interchangeable?

A: The DF3DZ-5P-2H(76) packaging format is not specified in available documentation. The DF3EA-5P-2H(51) is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your assembly process before component selection.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and have MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. The DF3DZ-5P-2H(76) is RoHS Compliant, while the DF3EA-5P-2H(51) is ROHS3 Compliant, representing current regulatory alignment. Both are classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: The DF3DZ-5P-2H(76) is rated at 3A. The DF3EA-5P-2H(51) current rating varies by wire gauge. Consult detailed specifications for your specific wire gauge application to confirm current capacity.

Q: Are there any mechanical dimension differences between these parts?

A: No. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including insulation height (0.220" / 5.60mm), contact shape (circular), and overall form factor within the DF3 series.
