Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF62-3S-2.2C(11) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Socket housing with female socket contacts
• Electrical Interface: 3-position arrangement with 2.20mm pitch and 2-row configuration
• Mechanical Compatibility: Free-hanging in-line mounting with crimp termination and latch lock fastening
• Material & Environmental Specifications: PBT insulation material with -35°C ~ 105°C operating temperature range

The substitute part DF62B-3S-2.2C(11) maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering improved product status and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF62B-3S-2.2C(11) is the direct equivalent substitute for the DF62-3S-2.2C(11). Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability in existing applications.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance. The DF62-3S-2.2C(11) is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the DF62B-3S-2.2C(11) maintains active product status and RoHS compliance. For new designs and ongoing production requiring regulatory adherence, the DF62B-3S-2.2C(11) is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not a requirement, either part satisfies the functional specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are DF62-3S-2.2C(11) and DF62B-3S-2.2C(11) electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical contact configurations, pitch spacing, row arrangement, termination method, and fastening mechanism. They are direct functional equivalents.

Q: What is the significance of the "B" designation in DF62B-3S-2.2C(11)?

A: The "B" designation indicates an updated version within the DF62 series. In this case, the primary update is RoHS compliance and active product status.

Q: Can DF62B-3S-2.2C(11) be used as a replacement in existing assemblies designed for DF62-3S-2.2C(11)?

A: Yes. The mechanical and electrical specifications are identical, allowing direct substitution without design modification or re-qualification of mating components.

Q: What does "Contacts Not Included" mean for these connector housings?

A: These parts are connector housings only. Crimp contacts must be sourced separately and installed into the housing. The housing itself does not include pre-installed contacts.

Q: Why is the obsolete DF62-3S-2.2C(11) still relevant if an active substitute exists?

A: Obsolete parts remain in circulation for legacy system support and repair applications. However, for new designs and production requiring long-term availability and regulatory compliance, the active DF62B-3S-2.2C(11) is the recommended selection.
