Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF60-8PCA is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Wire gauge specification (8 AWG)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Contact finish material and thickness (Gold, 8.00µin)
• Blade contact configuration
• Base product series (DF60)
• Manufacturer (Hirose Electric Co Ltd)

The substitute part DF60-8PCA(07) meets all these criteria, representing a direct functional equivalent with updated product status and compliance documentation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF60-8PCA(07) is the direct substitute for DF60-8PCA applications. Selection is based on the following factors:

• Identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters
• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support
• ROHS3 compliance provides enhanced regulatory alignment compared to the obsolete part's RoHS Compliant status
• Bulk packaging availability supports both prototype and production-volume requirements
• Maintained inventory levels (683 pcs) support immediate procurement

For systems currently using DF60-8PCA, transition to DF60-8PCA(07) presents no functional or compatibility constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF60-8PCA(07) be used as a direct replacement for DF60-8PCA?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical wire gauge (8 AWG), contact termination (Crimp), contact finish (Gold at 8.00µin thickness), and blade configuration. The substitute maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard with updated substance restrictions. Both designations indicate compliance with hazardous substance limitations; ROHS3 reflects the most current certification level.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. The DF60-8PCA(07) is supplied in bulk packaging, which does not alter the contact specifications, termination method, or electrical characteristics compared to the original part's packaging format.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for procurement?

A: The DF60-8PCA(07) maintains 683 pcs in stock, supporting both immediate and planned procurement needs. The original DF60-8PCA (758 pcs) is obsolete and should not be specified for new designs.

Q: What applications are suitable for this contact type?

A: The 8 AWG crimp blade contact is designed for high-current applications within the EnerBee™ DF60 connector system. Specific application suitability depends on the complete connector assembly and system requirements.
