Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DF80D-30P-0.5SD(51) qualifies as a direct substitute for the DF80-30P-0.5SD(51) based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Connector Type & Series: Both are DF80 series plug connectors with identical outer shroud contact design
• Position Count & Pitch: Both feature 30 positions at 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch
• Electrical Specifications: Identical wire gauge support (32-36 AWG, 40-46 AWG) and solder termination method
• Mechanical Configuration: Both use latch lock fastening, closed end design, and single-row layout
• Contact Material: Both employ gold-plated contacts
• Environmental Rating: Both carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification

The primary distinction is product status: the substitute part is active and available, whereas the original is obsolete. The DF80D variant represents the current production equivalent within the DF80 series.
