Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF3DZ-8P-2H(21) is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type, contact type, and series designation (DF3 family)
• Number of positions and mating pitch (8 positions, 2.00mm)
• Mounting configuration (surface mount, right angle)
• Shrouding design (shrouded 4-wall)
• Termination method (solder)
• Fastening mechanism (push-pull)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
• Insulation material and flammability rating (Polyamide/Nylon, UL94 V-0)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The DF3EA-8P-2H(21) meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the DF3 series, with identical mechanical and electrical specifications.
