Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF3Z-11P-2V(21) is the preferred selection for new designs due to its Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply continuity. Both parts meet identical compliance requirements including RoHS compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification, making them functionally equivalent from a regulatory standpoint.

The DF3E-11P-2V(21) carries Last Time Buy status, indicating discontinued production. Selection of this part should be limited to applications requiring existing inventory or where supply from the higher stock level (1976 units) addresses immediate project needs. The Tape & Reel packaging of the DF3E variant may provide advantages for high-volume automated assembly operations compared to standard packaging.

Both parts are suitable for operating environments spanning -55°C to 105°C and maintain identical mechanical interface specifications for board-to-board or cable applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF3E-11P-2V(21) be used as a direct replacement for DF3Z-11P-2V(21)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, shrouding, fastening mechanism, and termination specifications. They are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: DF3Z-11P-2V(21) maintains Active status, indicating ongoing production and availability. DF3E-11P-2V(21) is Last Time Buy, meaning production has ended. For designs requiring long-term component availability, DF3Z-11P-2V(21) is the appropriate choice.

Q: Are there differences in current rating between these parts?

A: DF3Z-11P-2V(21) specifies 3A current rating. DF3E-11P-2V(21) lists current rating as "Varies by Wire Gauge." Both parts maintain identical contact material (brass) and finish (tin), with current capacity dependent on application-specific wire gauge selection.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: DF3Z-11P-2V(21) is supplied in standard packaging. DF3E-11P-2V(21) is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both DF3Z-11P-2V(21) and DF3E-11P-2V(21) operate across -55°C to 105°C, suitable for industrial and commercial temperature environments.
