Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF60-5P-10.16DS(27) is a direct functional equivalent to the DF60-5P-10.16DS(26). Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch spacing, mounting configuration, and operating temperature range.

The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the DF60-5P-10.16DS(26) is obsolete, while the DF60-5P-10.16DS(27) maintains active product status. The substitute part carries enhanced compliance documentation (ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected status) compared to the original part's RoHS Compliant designation, providing improved regulatory traceability for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the same EnerBee™ DF60 series and maintain identical contact finish specifications, insulation materials compatibility, and flammability ratings. Selection of the DF60-5P-10.16DS(27) eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full electrical and mechanical interchangeability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF60-5P-10.16DS(27) be used as a direct replacement for DF60-5P-10.16DS(26)?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type, contact configuration, position count, pitch spacing, mounting method, and operating specifications. The substitute part is manufactured by the same supplier and maintains all required electrical and mechanical parameters for direct substitution.

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

A: The primary difference is product status. The DF60-5P-10.16DS(26) is obsolete, while the DF60-5P-10.16DS(27) is an active product. The substitute part also carries ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications, providing enhanced regulatory documentation.

Q: Are there any insulation material differences?

A: Yes. The DF60-5P-10.16DS(26) uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) glass-filled insulation, while the DF60-5P-10.16DS(27) uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) insulation. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for the specified operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 105°C.

Q: What is the fastening mechanism for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature a latch holder fastening type. The DF60-5P-10.16DS(26) includes a board guide feature, while the DF60-5P-10.16DS(27) includes a board lock feature. Both designs provide secure mechanical retention for board-to-cable/wire connections.

Q: Are voltage ratings specified for these connectors?

A: The DF60-5P-10.16DS(26) does not have a specified voltage rating in the provided data. The DF60-5P-10.16DS(27) is rated for 1000VAC/DC operation.

Q: What is the contact post finish for the substitute part?

A: The DF60-5P-10.16DS(27) features gold contact finish on the post with 8.00µin (0.203µm) thickness, matching the mating contact finish specification. The original part does not specify post contact finish in the provided data.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging?

A: The DF60-5P-10.16DS(26) packaging is not specified in the provided data. The DF60-5P-10.16DS(27) is supplied in bulk packaging.
