Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF60-6P-10.16DSA(27) is the appropriate selection for new designs and procurement activities. This part maintains active product status with Hirose Electric Co Ltd, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for connector pitch, position count, contact configuration, and operating temperature range.

The DF60-6P-10.16DSA(27) carries ROHS3 compliance certification, representing current regulatory alignment. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and unlimited moisture sensitivity classification, confirming suitability for standard industrial applications.

The insulation material differs between the two parts: the obsolete DF60-6P-10.16DSA(26) uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) with glass filling, while the active DF60-6P-10.16DSA(27) uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Both materials meet the specified flammability and thermal requirements. The DF60-6P-10.16DSA(27) additionally specifies a voltage rating of 1000VAC/DC and includes contact finish thickness for post termination at 8.00µin (0.203µm).
