DF62-30SC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF62-30SC is a socket contact connector from Hirose Electric Co Ltd's DF62 series, designed for 30 AWG wire gauge applications with crimp termination and tin contact finish. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable alternatives essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The DF62-30SC remains available in inventory (1076 Pcs), but its obsolete status necessitates evaluation of active product alternatives within the same series to ensure long-term supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF62-30SC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the DF62 series
• Contact Type: Socket configuration required
• Wire Gauge: 30 AWG specification maintained
• Termination Method: Crimp termination required
• Mechanical Fit: Same base product number (DF62) ensures physical compatibility

The DF62-30SCA qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. The primary difference is the contact finish material (gold versus tin) and corresponding finish thickness, which does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility for the specified wire gauge and termination method. The DF62-30SCA is classified as active product status, providing supply chain continuity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF62-30SCA is the direct substitute for the DF62-30SC. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

DF62-30SC (Obsolete): Retain for existing applications where tin contact finish is specified and RoHS non-compliance is acceptable. Current inventory of 1076 Pcs supports near-term requirements.

DF62-30SCA (Active): Select for new designs and long-term production. This part provides active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain stability. RoHS compliance status aligns with current regulatory requirements. Gold contact finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to tin, with no impact on mechanical compatibility for 30 AWG crimp termination applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DF62-30SCA directly replace DF62-30SC in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical mechanical fit, socket configuration, 30 AWG wire gauge specification, and crimp termination method within the DF62 series. Physical and electrical compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the functional difference between tin and gold contact finishes?

A: Contact finish material affects corrosion resistance and long-term contact reliability. Gold provides superior corrosion resistance; tin is suitable for standard applications. Both finishes are compatible with 30 AWG crimp termination.

Q: Why is DF62-30SC classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active production. The DF62-30SCA represents the active alternative within the same series.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: DF62-30SC packaging is listed as unspecified; DF62-30SCA is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your application.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect substitution eligibility?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory consideration for new designs and applications subject to RoHS directives. DF62-30SCA meets RoHS compliance; DF62-30SC does not. Select based on application regulatory requirements.

Q: Are both parts classified under the same HTSUS and ECCN codes?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical HTSUS code (8536.90.4000) and ECCN classification (EAR99), simplifying procurement and compliance documentation.
