DF63-2022SCA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DF63-2022SCA is a socket contact connector manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, part of the EnerBee™ DF63 series. This component is a stamped socket contact designed for crimp termination with 20-22 AWG wire gauges and gold plating for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance. The DF63-2022SCA is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts to maintain design continuity and ensure supply chain availability for new production and repair applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF63-2022SCA is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Hirose Electric Co Ltd
• Series: EnerBee™ DF63
• Contact Type: Socket
• Contact Termination Method: Crimp
• Wire Gauge Specification: 20-22 AWG
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Connector Category: Rectangular Connectors
• Stamped Construction Type

The DF63A-2022SCA meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent. The primary distinction is product status: the original DF63-2022SCA is obsolete, while the DF63A-2022SCA is active and maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF63A-2022SCA is the direct substitute for the obsolete DF63-2022SCA. Both components are RoHS compliant and manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the same EnerBee™ DF63 series. The DF63A-2022SCA maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including socket contact configuration, crimp termination method, 20-22 AWG wire gauge compatibility, and gold contact finish.

Selection of the DF63A-2022SCA is appropriate for all applications previously specified with the DF63-2022SCA. The active product status of the DF63A-2022SCA ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts carry equivalent regulatory compliance certifications (RoHS, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.90.4000).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF63A-2022SCA be used as a direct replacement for the DF63-2022SCA?

A: Yes. The DF63A-2022SCA is a direct equivalent substitute. Both components share identical specifications for socket contact type, crimp termination, 20-22 AWG wire gauge, gold finish, and stamped construction within the EnerBee™ DF63 series.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The DF63-2022SCA is classified as obsolete, while the DF63A-2022SCA is active. All electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the DF63-2022SCA and DF63A-2022SCA?

A: The DF63A-2022SCA is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging configuration should be verified against procurement requirements for your specific application.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the DF63-2022SCA and DF63A-2022SCA are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with these socket contacts?

A: Both components are specified for 20-22 AWG wire gauges. Crimp termination must be performed within this gauge range for proper contact engagement and electrical performance.
