Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF57-6S-1.2C(09) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 6 positions at 0.047" (1.20mm) spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Free hanging in-line mounting with crimp termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Swing lock fastening
• Row Configuration: Single row layout

The substitute part DF57H-6S-1.2C(08) satisfies all these criteria, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering an active product status with enhanced material specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF57H-6S-1.2C(08) is the direct substitute for the obsolete DF57-6S-1.2C(09). Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 6-position receptacle housing, 1.20mm pitch, crimp termination, and swing lock fastening.

The DF57H-6S-1.2C(08) offers the advantage of Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing support. The component is RoHS Compliant and specifies Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation material with an operating temperature range of -35°C to 85°C. Both parts share identical MSL classification and export control designations.

Selection of the DF57H-6S-1.2C(08) is appropriate for new designs and obsolescence mitigation strategies where the DF57-6S-1.2C(09) is no longer procurable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are DF57-6S-1.2C(09) and DF57H-6S-1.2C(08) mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components are 6-position receptacle housings with 1.20mm pitch, identical mounting type (free hanging in-line), and swing lock fastening. They accept the same crimp contacts and mate with identical plug connectors.

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

A: The DF57H-6S-1.2C(08) is an active product with specified material composition (LCP insulation), operating temperature range (-35°C to 85°C), and RoHS compliance. The DF57-6S-1.2C(09) is obsolete. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Q: Can I use DF57H-6S-1.2C(08) in existing designs that currently specify DF57-6S-1.2C(09)?

A: Yes. The substitute part meets all electrical and mechanical requirements of the original specification. No design modifications are required.

Q: Are contacts included with either housing?

A: No. Both the DF57-6S-1.2C(09) and DF57H-6S-1.2C(08) are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing.

Q: What is the packaging format for the substitute part?

A: The DF57H-6S-1.2C(08) is supplied in Bulk packaging, compared to the unspecified packaging of the obsolete part.
