Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF60-2P-10.16DSA(26) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Series & Type: Must be EnerBee™ DF60 header connector
• Position Count & Pitch: Must maintain 2 positions with 0.400" (10.16mm) mating pitch
• Mounting Configuration: Must be through-hole with vertical orientation
• Shrouding & Contact Type: Must feature shrouded 4-wall design with male blade contacts
• Electrical & Environmental Ratings: Must support -55°C ~ 105°C operating temperature and UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The substitute part DF60-2P-10.16DSA(27) meets all critical substitution criteria while differing only in packaging format and insulation material composition.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF60-2P-10.16DSA(27) is a direct functional substitute for the DF60-2P-10.16DSA(26). Both parts maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications across all critical parameters including connector geometry, contact configuration, operating temperature range, and regulatory compliance.

The primary distinctions are:

Product Status: The DF60-2P-10.16DSA(26) is designated Last Time Buy, indicating production discontinuation. The DF60-2P-10.16DSA(27) maintains Active status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Packaging Format: The DF60-2P-10.16DSA(26) is supplied in Tray packaging, while the DF60-2P-10.16DSA(27) is supplied in Bulk packaging. This difference affects procurement and handling procedures but does not impact functional performance.

Insulation Material: The DF60-2P-10.16DSA(26) uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) with glass filling, while the DF60-2P-10.16DSA(27) uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and support the specified operating temperature range.

Additional Specifications: The DF60-2P-10.16DSA(27) explicitly specifies Gold contact finish on the post and a 1000VAC/DC voltage rating, providing additional technical clarity without altering functional compatibility.

For new designs and ongoing production, the DF60-2P-10.16DSA(27) is the recommended selection due to its Active product status and assured supply availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF60-2P-10.16DSA(27) be used as a direct replacement for DF60-2P-10.16DSA(26) in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The connector geometry, contact configuration, pitch spacing, mounting method, and environmental ratings are identical. The substitute part maintains full compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mating connectors.

Q: What is the significance of the different insulation materials (LCP vs. PBT)?

A: Both Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) with glass filling and Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) meet the UL94 V-0 flammability rating and support the -55°C ~ 105°C operating temperature range. The material difference does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or environmental compliance. Material selection is based on manufacturing process and supply chain considerations.

Q: Does the packaging difference (Tray vs. Bulk) affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging format affects procurement, handling, and logistics procedures but does not impact the electrical or mechanical performance of the connector. Component specifications remain identical regardless of packaging method.

Q: Why is DF60-2P-10.16DSA(26) designated as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that the manufacturer is discontinuing production of this specific part number. The DF60-2P-10.16DSA(27) represents the active production equivalent, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both DF60-2P-10.16DSA(26) and DF60-2P-10.16DSA(27) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What is the current inventory status for each part?

A: DF60-2P-10.16DSA(26) has 2024 pieces in stock with Last Time Buy status. DF60-2P-10.16DSA(27) has 15559 pieces in stock with Active product status, providing significantly greater availability for ongoing procurement needs.
