Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DF80-50P-0.5SD(52) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer: Hirose Electric Co Ltd (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Series: DF80 family (maintains mechanical and electrical interface standards)
• Number of Positions: 50 (pin count must match exactly)
• Pitch: 0.020" (0.50mm) (contact spacing determines PCB layout compatibility)
• Connector Type: Plug (functional role in assembly)
• Contact Type: Outer Shroud Contact (electrical and mechanical interface specification)
• Cable Termination: Solder (assembly process compatibility)
• Wire Gauge: 32-36 AWG, 40-46 AWG (conductor size compatibility)
• Contact Finish: Gold (electrical performance and corrosion resistance)
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock (mechanical retention method)

The DF80D-50P-0.5SD(52) meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF80D-50P-0.5SD(52) is the direct substitute for the obsolete DF80-50P-0.5SD(52). Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the DF80D-50P-0.5SD(52) is currently active and available in production quantities with Tape & Reel packaging, whereas the original part is obsolete.

The substitute part carries RoHS compliance certification, providing additional regulatory alignment for new designs and procurement cycles. Both parts maintain identical contact finish specifications, wire gauge compatibility, and fastening mechanisms, ensuring direct functional interchangeability in existing assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF80D-50P-0.5SD(52) be used as a direct replacement for the DF80-50P-0.5SD(52)?

A: Yes. The DF80D-50P-0.5SD(52) is a direct equivalent. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including pin count, pitch, contact type, termination method, and wire gauge compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. The DF80-50P-0.5SD(52) is obsolete, while the DF80D-50P-0.5SD(52) is active production. The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging and carries RoHS compliance certification.

Q: Are there any mounting type differences?

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

Q: Is the substitute part RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The DF80D-50P-0.5SD(52) is RoHS compliant, whereas RoHS status is not specified for the original part.

Q: Can this connector be used with both discrete and ribbon cable?

A: Yes. Both the original and substitute parts support discrete or ribbon cable termination with wire gauges of 32-36 AWG and 40-46 AWG.

Q: What is the contact finish specification?

A: Both parts feature gold-plated contacts with a finish thickness of 1.97µin (0.050µm), providing corrosion resistance and reliable electrical performance.
