Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF5A-1822SC(51) is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the DF5 series
• Contact Type: Socket contact configuration required
• Wire Gauge Range: 18-22 AWG specification must be maintained
• Termination Method: Crimp termination is mandatory
• Contact Finish: Tin finish specification must match
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification must be preserved

The DF5A-1822SCF(51) meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the DF5 series platform.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF5A-1822SCF(51) is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete DF5A-1822SC(51). Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the DF5 series platform. The primary distinction is product status: DF5A-1822SC(51) is obsolete while DF5A-1822SCF(51) is active production. The DF5A-1822SCF(51) carries RoHS Compliant certification, providing additional regulatory compliance assurance for applications subject to RoHS requirements. Inventory availability for DF5A-1822SCF(51) is substantially higher (34,521 pcs) compared to the obsolete variant, ensuring supply chain continuity for new designs and replacement applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF5A-1822SCF(51) be used as a direct replacement for DF5A-1822SC(51)?

A: Yes. Both components are socket contacts within the DF5 series with identical wire gauge (18-22 AWG), crimp termination, tin finish, and MSL 1 classification. The DF5A-1822SCF(51) is the active production equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between DF5A-1822SC(51) and DF5A-1822SCF(51)?

A: The components are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), packaging format (not specified vs. Cut Tape), and RoHS compliance certification. The "F" designation in DF5A-1822SCF(51) indicates the active variant with enhanced compliance documentation.

Q: Why is DF5A-1822SC(51) listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates the part is no longer in active production. The DF5A-1822SCF(51) has superseded this variant as the current production socket contact for the DF5 series 18-22 AWG crimp application.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: DF5A-1822SCF(51) is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. The original part packaging format is not specified in available documentation.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance is a material composition specification that does not alter electrical or mechanical performance characteristics. Both components maintain identical functional specifications.
