Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF3DZ-8P-2H(75) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series alignment within DF3 family
• Identical 8-position, single-row configuration
• Matching 2.00mm mating pitch
• Surface mount, right-angle mounting orientation
• Shrouded 4-wall design
• Male pin contact type
• Solder termination method
• Operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 105°C
• UL94 V-0 flammability compliance
• RoHS compliance status

The DF3EA-8P-2H(21) meets all these criteria and serves as a direct functional equivalent within the DF3 series.
