Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DF9B-15P-1V(20) with the DF9B-15P-1V(32) is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Number of positions: 15 (identical)
• Pitch: 0.039" (1.00mm) (identical)
• Number of rows: 2 (identical)
• Mounting type: Surface Mount (identical)
• Connector type: Header, Center Strip Contacts (identical)
• Contact finish: Tin (identical)
• Height above board: 0.130" (3.30mm) (identical)
• Mated stacking heights: 4.3mm (identical)
• Features: Solder Retention (identical)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)
• Series: DF9 (identical)

The primary distinction between these parts is the packaging format and product status. The DF9B-15P-1V(32) is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging and maintains active product status with RoHS compliance, whereas the DF9B-15P-1V(20) is obsolete and non-compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the DF9B-15P-1V(20) and DF9B-15P-1V(32) electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 15-position headers with identical pitch (1.00mm), row configuration (2 rows), contact finish (tin), and mounting specifications. They perform identical electrical functions in surface mount applications.

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

A: The primary differences are packaging format and product status. The DF9B-15P-1V(20) uses standard packaging and is obsolete. The DF9B-15P-1V(32) is supplied in Tape & Reel format and maintains active status with RoHS compliance.

Q: Can I use DF9B-15P-1V(32) in place of DF9B-15P-1V(20) on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. The physical dimensions, footprint, and mounting characteristics are identical. No PCB redesign is required.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. It impacts handling, storage, and automated assembly processes only.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a functional requirement for substitution?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory and manufacturing requirement. The DF9B-15P-1V(32) meets current environmental standards, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Q: Are there any height or footprint differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical height above board (0.130" / 3.30mm) and mated stacking heights (4.3mm). Footprints are identical.
