Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF3DZ-6P-2V(75) is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Connector Series & Type: Must be DF3 series header with male pin contact type
• Position Count & Pitch: Exactly 6 positions at 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch
• Mounting Configuration: Surface mount with shrouded 4-wall design
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening type
• Physical Dimensions: Insulation height of 0.232" (5.90mm)
• Termination Method: Solder termination
• Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance

The DF3EA-6P-2V(21) meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the DF3 series, with the primary distinction being active product status and enhanced operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF3EA-6P-2V(21) is a direct functional equivalent to the DF3DZ-6P-2V(75) and is recommended for new designs and procurement. Key advantages include:

• Active Product Status: DF3EA-6P-2V(21) maintains active manufacturing and distribution status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability
• Enhanced Operating Range: Extended temperature range of -55°C to 105°C provides greater thermal margin compared to the original -30°C to 85°C specification
• Compliance Upgrade: ROHS3 compliance exceeds the RoHS Compliant status of the discontinued part
• Packaging Availability: Supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for high-volume surface mount assembly operations
• Identical Mechanical Interface: All critical dimensions, pitch, position count, and shrouding configuration remain unchanged, ensuring direct PCB compatibility

Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating, unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF3EA-6P-2V(21) be used as a direct replacement for DF3DZ-6P-2V(75) on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch, position count, shrouding configuration, and solder termination footprint. No PCB redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status (active vs. discontinued), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C vs. -30°C to 85°C), and compliance level (ROHS3 vs. RoHS Compliant). The DF3EA variant includes solder retention feature and tin contact finish specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The DF3DZ-6P-2V(75) packaging is not specified in available data. The DF3EA-6P-2V(21) is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for surface mount assembly. Confirm packaging requirements with your assembly process specifications.

Q: Does the extended temperature range of DF3EA-6P-2V(21) affect electrical performance?

A: No. The extended operating range of -55°C to 105°C is a design enhancement that does not alter electrical characteristics within the original -30°C to 85°C operating window. Current rating and voltage specifications remain consistent with the original part's electrical performance envelope.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. DF3DZ-6P-2V(75) is RoHS Compliant. DF3EA-6P-2V(21) is ROHS3 Compliant, representing a higher compliance standard. Both meet RoHS requirements for new designs.
