Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF3DZ-6P-2V(73) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector series: DF3
• Number of positions: 6
• Mating pitch: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Connector type: Header with male pins
• Mounting type: Surface mount
• Shrouding configuration: Shrouded - 4 wall
• Termination method: Solder
• Fastening type: Push-pull
• Insulation material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Material flammability: UL94 V-0

The DF3EA-6P-2V(51) meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct manufacturer substitute within the DF3 series. Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, enabling direct replacement in board-level applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

• Specified voltage rating of 250VAC and documented contact materials (gold finish, brass)
• Tape & Reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes

The DF3EA-6P-2V(51) is suitable for direct replacement in all applications where the DF3DZ-6P-2V(73) was originally specified, with no design modifications required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF3EA-6P-2V(51) be used as a direct replacement for the DF3DZ-6P-2V(73)?

A: Yes. Both connectors are Hirose Electric DF3 series headers with identical mating pitch (2.00mm), position count (6), shrouding configuration, and solder termination. They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The DF3EA-6P-2V(51) is an active product with an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C versus -30°C ~ 85°C), specified voltage rating (250VAC), documented contact finish (gold), and Tape & Reel packaging. The DF3DZ-6P-2V(73) is discontinued.

Q: Does the extended temperature range of the DF3EA-6P-2V(51) affect compatibility?

A: No. The extended range is a superset of the original specification and does not impact compatibility. Applications operating within the original temperature range remain fully compatible.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when switching to the DF3EA-6P-2V(51)?

A: The DF3EA-6P-2V(51) is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for automated surface mount assembly. This packaging format is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the DF3EA-6P-2V(51)?

A: The DF3EA-6P-2V(51) is ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. HTSUS classification is 8536.69.4040.
