Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DF63A-2022SCFA qualifies as a direct substitute for the DF63-2022SCFA based on the following matching parameters:

Wire gauge specification (20-22 AWG), contact configuration (socket), termination method (crimp), contact finish (gold), base product series (DF63), and regulatory compliance (RoHS Compliant) are identical between both parts. The substitution is valid because these parameters define the functional and mechanical compatibility requirements for this connector contact type. The primary distinction is product status: DF63-2022SCFA is obsolete while DF63A-2022SCFA maintains active status with current manufacturing support.
