DF62-6EP-2.2C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF62-6EP-2.2C is a 6-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for applications requiring crimp-terminated male pin connections with 2.20mm pitch spacing. This connector features a 2-row configuration with 0.079" row spacing and operates across the -35°C to 105°C temperature range. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives to maintain design continuity and ensure supply chain availability for new production and field service applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF62-6EP-2.2C is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug housing configuration
• Contact Type: Male Pin termination
• Number of Positions: 6-position capacity
• Pitch: 0.087" (2.20mm) contact spacing
• Number of Rows: 2-row arrangement
• Row Spacing: 0.079" (2.00mm) inter-row distance
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) installation
• Contact Termination: Crimp connection method
• Fastening Type: Latch Holder mechanism
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Operating Temperature Range: -35°C ~ 105°C

The identified substitutes maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility through identical parameter specifications. Variations in color and product status (active vs. obsolete) do not affect functional interchangeability within the DF62 series architecture.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both DF62B-6EP-2.2C and DF62B-6EP-2.2C(10) are functionally equivalent substitutes for the obsolete DF62-6EP-2.2C. Selection between these alternatives is based on product status and regulatory compliance:

DF62B-6EP-2.2C is the direct substitute, maintaining black housing color identical to the original part while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected certification.

DF62B-6EP-2.2C(10) is the manufacturer-recommended alternative, providing identical electrical and mechanical specifications with active product status and equivalent regulatory compliance. The white housing color represents the only physical distinction and does not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability.

Both substitutes provide superior supply chain availability compared to the obsolete original part, with inventory levels of 3830 and 775 units respectively.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are DF62B-6EP-2.2C and DF62B-6EP-2.2C(10) electrically and mechanically interchangeable with DF62-6EP-2.2C?

A: Yes. Both substitutes maintain identical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, row spacing, mounting type, termination method, and operating temperature range. Interchangeability is complete at the functional level.

Q: What is the significance of the color difference between the black DF62-6EP-2.2C and white DF62B-6EP-2.2C(10)?

A: Color variation does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Selection between black and white housing is determined by application-specific requirements or design preferences. Both colors are functionally equivalent within the DF62 series.

Q: Why is the original DF62-6EP-2.2C classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates the part is no longer in active production. The DF62B variants represent the current active product line within the DF62 series and are the recommended alternatives for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain the same crimp termination compatibility?

A: Yes. Both DF62B-6EP-2.2C and DF62B-6EP-2.2C(10) utilize identical crimp contact termination specifications, ensuring compatibility with existing crimp tooling and contact designs.

Q: What regulatory compliance advantages do the substitutes offer?

A: Both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, providing enhanced regulatory alignment for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance restrictions. The original part does not specify these certifications.
