Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF5A-2P-5DSA(05) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Number of positions (2)
• Pitch specification (5.00mm)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Fastening mechanism (Locking Ramp)
• Operating temperature range (-35°C ~ 85°C)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The substitute part DF5A-2P-5DSA(35) maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original part across all specified parameters, with the primary distinction being product status and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF5A-2P-5DSA(35) is a direct functional equivalent to the DF5A-2P-5DSA(05). The primary distinction is product status: the original part is obsolete while the substitute is active. The DF5A-2P-5DSA(35) carries RoHS compliance certification, providing additional regulatory alignment for new designs and production environments where RoHS compliance is required.

Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector architecture, contact configuration, termination method, and operating parameters. Selection between these parts should be based on availability, regulatory requirements, and packaging needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF5A-2P-5DSA(35) be used as a direct replacement for DF5A-2P-5DSA(05)?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical function. They share the same 2-position configuration, 5mm pitch, through-hole mounting, solder termination, and operating temperature range. The substitute is currently in active production status.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. The DF5A-2P-5DSA(05) is obsolete, while DF5A-2P-5DSA(35) is active. The substitute is supplied in bulk packaging and carries RoHS compliance certification.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts maintain identical pin configuration, pitch spacing, mounting footprint, and contact specifications. PCB layouts and mating connectors designed for the original part will function identically with the substitute.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance status of DF5A-2P-5DSA(35) affect compatibility?

A: RoHS compliance does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. It indicates that the substitute part meets environmental and regulatory standards for hazardous substance restrictions, which may be required for certain applications or markets.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The original part number does not specify packaging information. The substitute DF5A-2P-5DSA(35) is supplied in bulk packaging.
