Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF3DZ-9P-2H(51) is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Series designation (DF3)
• Connector type (Header)
• Number of positions (9)
• Pitch specification (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Mounting configuration (Surface Mount, Right Angle)
• Shrouding design (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Insulation material (Polyamide/Nylon)
• Contact material (Brass)
• Contact finish (Gold)

The DF3EA-9P-2H(51) meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is product status: DF3DZ-9P-2H(51) is obsolete, while DF3EA-9P-2H(51) is active and available in higher inventory quantities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF3EA-9P-2H(51) is the direct substitute for the obsolete DF3DZ-9P-2H(51). Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The DF3EA-9P-2H(51) offers the following advantages:

• Active product status with ongoing manufacturer support
• Higher inventory availability (1533 units vs. 669 units)
• RoHS compliance certification
• Standardized Tape & Reel packaging for automated assembly processes

Selection of DF3EA-9P-2H(51) eliminates obsolescence risk and ensures long-term supply chain continuity for applications requiring 9-position, 2.00mm pitch surface mount rectangular connectors with push-pull fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF3EA-9P-2H(51) be used as a direct replacement for DF3DZ-9P-2H(51)?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications. The DF3EA-9P-2H(51) is the active equivalent and is fully compatible for all applications where DF3DZ-9P-2H(51) was specified.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The DF3DZ-9P-2H(51) is classified as obsolete, while DF3EA-9P-2H(51) is an active product. The DF3EA variant includes RoHS compliance certification and is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching from DF3DZ-9P-2H(51) to DF3EA-9P-2H(51)?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Identical pitch (2.00mm), position count (9), mounting type (surface mount, right angle), and connector geometry ensure direct interchangeability in PCB designs and mating applications.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute part?

A: The DF3EA-9P-2H(51) is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for automated surface mount assembly processes.

Q: Does the substitute part meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The DF3EA-9P-2H(51) is RoHS compliant, whereas RoHS status was not specified for the obsolete DF3DZ-9P-2H(51).
