Engineering Selection Recommendations
Both the DF60F-3EP-10.16C and DF60FR-3EP-10.16C maintain active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and supply chain requirements. The DF60F-3EP-10.16C currently maintains higher inventory (1121 units) compared to the DF60FR-3EP-10.16C (937 units). Both parts carry identical electrical and mechanical specifications, compliance certifications, and operating parameters, making them functionally interchangeable for applications requiring 3-position rectangular connectors with 10.16mm pitch configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What makes DF60FR-3EP-10.16C a valid substitute for DF60F-3EP-10.16C?
A: The DF60FR-3EP-10.16C matches all critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch specification, contact configuration, mounting method, termination type, fastening mechanism, temperature range, insulation material, color, and compliance certifications. Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the same EnerBee™ DF60 series.
Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting between these parts?
A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all provided parameters. The substitution is based on complete parametric equivalence.
Q: What is the difference between the base product numbers DF60F and DF60FR?
A: The base product numbers indicate different part variants within the EnerBee™ DF60 series. However, for the 3-position, 10.16mm pitch configuration, both variants meet identical functional and compliance requirements.
Q: Can I use these connectors interchangeably in existing designs?
A: Yes. Both the DF60F-3EP-10.16C and DF60FR-3EP-10.16C are parametric equivalents with matching electrical and mechanical characteristics, allowing direct substitution without design modification.
Q: What is the MSL rating and why does it matter?
A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These connectors can be stored and handled under standard conditions without special moisture control requirements.
Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. Both the DF60F-3EP-10.16C and DF60FR-3EP-10.16C are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.
