Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DF63M-2P-7.92DS qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Both parts are headers with male pin contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: Identical 2-position configuration with 0.312" (7.92mm) mating pitch
• Mounting & Orientation: Both feature through-hole, right-angle mounting
• Shrouding Design: Both employ shrouded 4-wall construction
• Electrical Ratings: Matching 600VAC/DC voltage rating and -55°C ~ 105°C operating temperature range
• Material & Compliance: Both utilize PBT glass-filled insulation with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance
• Termination Method: Both use solder termination with latch holder fastening

The primary distinction is product status: the DF63-2P-7.92DS is obsolete, while the DF63M-2P-7.92DS is active production.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF63M-2P-7.92DS is the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing production requiring a 2-position, 7.92mm pitch rectangular connector header in the EnerBee™ DF63 series. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete DF63-2P-7.92DS while offering the advantage of active product status and current manufacturing support.

Both parts satisfy identical compliance requirements: RoHS compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification. The DF63M-2P-7.92DS includes glow wire compliance as an additional feature. Selection of the active part ensures supply chain continuity and access to current technical documentation and manufacturing specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF63M-2P-7.92DS directly replace the DF63-2P-7.92DS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical ratings (600VAC/DC), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), mechanical dimensions, pitch spacing (0.312"/7.92mm), and contact configuration. The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The DF63-2P-7.92DS is obsolete. The DF63M-2P-7.92DS is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer and series, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish specifications?

A: Both parts feature tin contact finish on mating and post surfaces. The DF63M-2P-7.92DS specifies contact finish thickness at 39.4µin (1.00µm) for both surfaces, providing documented plating specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both are RoHS compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and have MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification. The DF63M-2P-7.92DS additionally includes glow wire compliance.

Q: Are the mounting footprints identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors use through-hole, right-angle mounting with identical insulation height (0.354"/9.00mm) and post length (0.138"/3.50mm), ensuring PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: DF63-2P-7.92DS: 1080 pcs new original in stock. DF63M-2P-7.92DS: 1104 pcs new original in stock.
