Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EF2-D60-1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Hirose Electric Co Ltd
• Series: ZERO SCREW™ EF2
• Mounting Type: DIN Rail
• Termination Style: Push In, Spring
• Material - Insulation: Modified Polyphenylene Ether (M-PPE)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Voltage - UL: 600 V
• Wire Gauge Range: 5.5-14mm²
• Operating Temperature: -25°C ~ 105°C
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant

Flexible Parameters (Position-Dependent):

• Number of Positions: May vary based on application requirements
• Terminal Width: May vary within compatible busbar specifications
• Length: May vary with position count
• Height: May vary with position count

The EF2-D60BA-1 qualifies as a substitute because it maintains all mandatory electrical, thermal, material, and compliance specifications while offering a 2-position configuration with a 20.0mm terminal width.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EF2-D60BA-1 is the recommended substitute for the obsolete EF2-D60-1. Both components share identical electrical ratings (600V UL), thermal operating range (-25°C to 105°C), material composition (M-PPE with UL94 V-0 flammability rating), and termination methodology (push-in spring). Both maintain RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity classification.

The primary difference is configuration: the EF2-D60BA-1 provides 2 positions with a 20.0mm terminal width compared to the single position with 21.0mm width of the original part. The substitute maintains the same 63.60mm length and identical DIN rail mounting interface. The active product status of the EF2-D60BA-1 ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EF2-D60BA-1 directly replace the EF2-D60-1 in existing applications?

A: Direct replacement depends on application requirements. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, voltage ratings, operating temperature range, and material properties. The EF2-D60BA-1 offers 2 positions versus 1 position in the original part. Physical space constraints and circuit design must be evaluated to confirm compatibility.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for EF2 series substitution?

A: Substitutes within the ZERO SCREW™ EF2 series must maintain: DIN rail mounting type, push-in spring termination, 600V UL rating, 5.5-14mm² wire gauge compatibility, M-PPE insulation material, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and -25°C to 105°C operating temperature range.

Q: Why is the terminal width different between these parts?

A: Terminal width varies based on position count and busbar design within the EF2 series. The EF2-D60BA-1 uses a 20.0mm width for its 2-position configuration, while the EF2-D60-1 uses 21.0mm for its single position. Both widths are within the same product family and maintain equivalent electrical performance.

Q: Is the EF2-D60BA-1 suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. The EF2-D60BA-1 carries active product status with current manufacturing support. It meets all relevant compliance standards including RoHS and UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for these parts?

A: The EF2-D60-1 has 1,122 pieces available as new original stock despite obsolete status. The EF2-D60BA-1 has 716 pieces in current inventory with active product status, ensuring continued availability.
