Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF62-2EP-2.2C(10) is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

Connector Type: Plug housing
Contact Type: Male Pin
Number of Positions: 2
Pitch: 0.087" (2.20mm)
Number of Rows: 1
Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
Contact Termination: Crimp
Fastening Type: Latch Holder
Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
Operating Temperature Range: -35°C ~ 105°C

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on series designation and feature set:

Category 1 - DF62B Series (Standard): DF62B-2EP-2.2C, DF62B-2EP-2.2C(10), DF62B-2EP-2.2C(18). These parts maintain all core electrical and mechanical parameters while offering active product status and improved RoHS compliance. Color variants (Black, White, Red) are available for application-specific requirements.

Category 2 - DF62W Series (Water Resistant): DF62W-2EP-2.2C and DF62WC-2EP-2.2C. These parts include water-resistant features while maintaining all core parameters. Selection depends on environmental exposure requirements and packaging preference (Bulk vs. Bag).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation - DF62B-2EP-2.2C(10): This part is the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete DF62-2EP-2.2C(10), maintaining identical color (White) and all electrical and mechanical specifications. It carries active product status and RoHS compliance, addressing the regulatory limitations of the original part. This selection is appropriate for applications where color matching and standard environmental conditions are required.

Alternative - DF62B-2EP-2.2C: Functionally equivalent with active status and ROHS3 compliance. Color is Black instead of White. Selection is appropriate when color differentiation is not a design constraint.

Alternative - DF62B-2EP-2.2C(18): Functionally equivalent with active status and RoHS compliance. Color is Red. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring color-coded connector identification.

Enhanced Alternative - DF62W-2EP-2.2C or DF62WC-2EP-2.2C: These water-resistant variants maintain all core parameters while adding environmental protection. Selection is appropriate for applications exposed to moisture or condensation. DF62W-2EP-2.2C is supplied in Bulk packaging; DF62WC-2EP-2.2C is supplied in Bag packaging. Both carry ROHS3 compliance and active product status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF62B series connectors directly replace the obsolete DF62-2EP-2.2C(10)?

A: Yes. The DF62B series maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 2-position plug housing, 0.087" (2.20mm) pitch, male pin contacts, crimp termination, latch holder fastening, and PBT insulation. All DF62B variants operate within the same temperature range (-35°C ~ 105°C). The primary differences are product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and RoHS compliance improvement.

Q: What is the difference between DF62B and DF62W series?

A: The DF62W series includes water-resistant features, providing enhanced protection in moisture-exposed environments. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical. Selection between standard DF62B and water-resistant DF62W depends on application environmental requirements.

Q: Does color selection affect electrical compatibility?

A: No. Color variants (Black, White, Red) within the DF62B series are electrically and mechanically identical. Color selection is for application-specific identification or visual differentiation only and does not impact connector function or compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging designation (Bulk vs. Bag)?

A: Packaging designation indicates the form in which the connector is supplied but does not affect electrical or mechanical specifications. Bulk packaging is standard for high-volume applications; Bag packaging may be selected for smaller quantity requirements or specific inventory management practices.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: All recommended substitute parts carry RoHS compliance (either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant). The original DF62-2EP-2.2C(10) is RoHS non-compliant. Substitution addresses this regulatory requirement while maintaining functional compatibility.

Q: Can DF62B and DF62W series connectors be intermixed in the same application?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility exists between DF62B and DF62W series. However, intermixing should be evaluated based on application environmental requirements. If moisture resistance is required for the application, all connectors should be DF62W series. If standard environmental conditions are sufficient, DF62B series is appropriate.
