Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF50S-20DS-1C(15) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Socket)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (20)
• Pitch specification (0.039" / 1.00mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening type (Latch Holder)
• Series compatibility (DF50)

The substitute part DF50S-20DS-1C maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters, with the primary distinction being active product status and updated compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF50S-20DS-1C serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete DF50S-20DS-1C(15). Selection of the substitute part is supported by:

• Identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all connector parameters
• Active product status ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• ROHS3 compliance certification, addressing regulatory requirements for new production and updated applications
• Equivalent moisture sensitivity rating and export classification
• Maintained compatibility with existing DF50 series contact and mating connector ecosystems

The transition from the non-compliant variant to the ROHS3-compliant substitute aligns with current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF50S-20DS-1C be used as a direct replacement for DF50S-20DS-1C(15)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch, row count, mounting method, and termination specifications. The substitute is functionally equivalent for all electrical and mechanical applications.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The main part is RoHS non-compliant, while the substitute is ROHS3 compliant. For new production and applications subject to RoHS regulations, the substitute part meets current environmental standards. For legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not mandated, both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: Are the contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the main part and substitute are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to Hirose specifications.

Q: Does packaging differ between the two parts?

A: The main part packaging is not specified in available data. The substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Are there any operating temperature or material differences?

A: The substitute specifies operating temperature range of -35°C to 85°C and Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) insulation material. These specifications are not provided for the main part. Both parts maintain identical moisture sensitivity ratings.
