Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DF80D-30P-0.5SD(52) qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts belong to the DF80 series family
• Connector Configuration: Identical 30-position plug connector with outer shroud contact design
• Pitch Specification: Matching 0.020" (0.50mm) pitch ensures mechanical and electrical interchangeability
• Termination Method: Both utilize solder cable termination
• Wire Gauge Support: Identical support for 32-36 AWG and 40-46 AWG wire configurations
• Contact Finish: Gold plating on both parts ensures equivalent electrical performance
• Electrical Classification: Both classified under HTSUS 8536.69.4051 and ECCN EAR99

The primary distinction is product status: the substitute part is active and available, whereas the original is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF80D-30P-0.5SD(52) is the appropriate selection for applications currently specified with DF80-30P-0.5SD(52). The substitute part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility across all critical parameters while offering the advantage of active product status and current availability.

The DF80D variant includes RoHS compliance certification, which may be required for new designs or regulatory compliance in certain markets. Both parts share identical MSL ratings and regulatory classifications (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4051).

Packaging differs between the two parts: the original uses standard packaging while the substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel format, which may affect procurement workflows and inventory management practices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are DF80-30P-0.5SD(52) and DF80D-30P-0.5SD(52) mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.020"), position count (30), contact type (outer shroud), and fastening mechanism (latch lock), ensuring mechanical interchangeability in all mounting configurations.

Q: Can DF80D-30P-0.5SD(52) be used as a direct replacement in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical electrical performance through matching gold contact finish, solder termination capability, and support for the same wire gauge range (32-36 AWG, 40-46 AWG).

Q: What is the difference in mounting type between these parts?

A: The original part supports both Free Hanging (In-Line) and Right Angle mounting, while the substitute supports Free Hanging (In-Line) only. Verify mounting requirements for your specific application.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging of DF80D-30P-0.5SD(52) affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for active production parts and may offer advantages in automated assembly processes.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a factor in selecting the substitute part?

A: RoHS compliance of the DF80D-30P-0.5SD(52) may be required depending on your application's regulatory requirements. Both parts maintain identical MSL ratings and environmental classifications.
