Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DF60-5P-10.16DSA(27) qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Both parts are headers with male blade contacts in identical 5-position, single-row configuration
• Pitch Specification: Both maintain 0.400" (10.16mm) mating pitch, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors
• Mounting & Termination: Both feature through-hole solder termination with identical shrouded 4-wall design and board guide features
• Electrical & Environmental Ratings: Both operate across -55°C to 105°C temperature range and maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating, meeting modern supply chain requirements

The primary distinction is product status: DF60-5P-10.16DSA(26) is obsolete, while DF60-5P-10.16DSA(27) is active with current inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF60-5P-10.16DSA(27) is the appropriate selection for applications currently using or specifying the DF60-5P-10.16DSA(26). Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including pitch, contact configuration, operating temperature range, and flammability compliance.

The DF60-5P-10.16DSA(27) offers the advantage of active product status with confirmed inventory availability (792 pcs in stock), ensuring supply chain continuity. The part carries ROHS3 compliance certification and includes documented voltage rating specification (1000VAC/DC) and contact finish specification for post termination, providing enhanced technical documentation for design validation.

The insulation material differs between the two parts: the obsolete variant uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) glass-filled material, while the active substitute uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Both materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operate across the identical temperature range, confirming functional equivalence for the specified application envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are DF60-5P-10.16DSA(26) and DF60-5P-10.16DSA(27) mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical pitch spacing (0.400"/10.16mm), contact configuration (5-position male blade), shrouding design (4-wall), and mounting method (through-hole solder). They are mechanically interchangeable in board-to-cable/wire applications.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between these parts?

A: The DF60-5P-10.16DSA(26) uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) glass-filled insulation, while the DF60-5P-10.16DSA(27) uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT).
