DF60F-3S-10.16C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF60F-3S-10.16C is a 3-position rectangular connector receptacle housing from Hirose Electric's EnerBee™ DF60 series. This component serves as the female socket housing in applications requiring 0.400" (10.16mm) pitch connectivity with crimp-terminated contacts. The part is currently active in production with 1,130 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or design flexibility necessitate alternative sourcing within the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF60F-3S-10.16C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (3)
• Pitch specification (0.400" / 10.16mm)
• Number of rows (1)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Lock)
• Insulation material (PBT, Glass Filled)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C)
• Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected)

The DF60FR-3S-10.16C meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct substitute. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical interfaces, allowing interchangeability in applications where the DF60F-3S-10.16C is specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the DF60F-3S-10.16C and DF60FR-3S-10.16C are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and lead time requirements. The DF60F-3S-10.16C maintains higher stock levels (1,130 units), while the DF60FR-3S-10.16C (810 units) provides an equivalent alternative when primary sourcing is constrained. Both parts satisfy identical electrical performance, mechanical interface, and environmental operating specifications. No performance trade-offs exist between these options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF60FR-3S-10.16C be used as a direct replacement for DF60F-3S-10.16C?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. They share the same connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and operating temperature range. Direct substitution is valid without design modification.

Q: What determines whether a part qualifies as a substitute?

A: Substitution eligibility requires exact matching of connector type, contact type, number of positions, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, contact termination, fastening mechanism, insulation material, operating temperature range, and regulatory compliance status. Any deviation in these parameters disqualifies a part from substitution.

Q: Are there any packaging or handling differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging with identical moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited). No special storage or handling requirements differentiate these components.

Q: Do these parts require contacts to be purchased separately?

A: Yes. Both the DF60F-3S-10.16C and DF60FR-3S-10.16C are housings only. Crimp-terminated contacts must be sourced separately and are not included with these receptacle housings.

Q: What is the significance of the base product numbers DF60F and DF60FR?

A: The base product numbers identify the housing design variant within the EnerBee™ DF60 series. Both variants maintain full compatibility within the 3-position, 10.16mm pitch specification and are interchangeable for this application.
