Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF57-6S-1.2C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (6)
• Pitch specification (0.047" / 1.20mm)
• Number of rows (1)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Swing Lock)
• Housing color (White)
• Moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1)

The DF57H-6S-1.2C meets all these criteria and is designated as the manufacturer-recommended substitute. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering the advantage of active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF57H-6S-1.2C is the direct equivalent for the obsolete DF57-6S-1.2C. Selection of the substitute part is based on:

• Identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters
• Active product status ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support
• ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements
• Specified operating temperature range (-35°C ~ 85°C) and insulation material (PBT) providing documented performance characteristics
• Equivalent export classification (EAR99) and tariff coding (8536.69.8000)

The DF57H-6S-1.2C is suitable for direct replacement in applications currently using the DF57-6S-1.2C without modification to connector interfaces or mating components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF57H-6S-1.2C be used as a direct replacement for the DF57-6S-1.2C?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications for connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and fastening mechanism. The DF57H-6S-1.2C is the manufacturer-recommended substitute.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The DF57-6S-1.2C is obsolete. The DF57H-6S-1.2C is an active product with superior availability and ongoing manufacturing support.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between these parts?

A: The DF57-6S-1.2C packaging is not specified. The DF57H-6S-1.2C is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Do these parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. Both parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The DF57H-6S-1.2C is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Compliance status for the original part is not documented.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the DF57-6S-1.2C and DF57H-6S-1.2C are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately.
