GT8E-2P-DSA(11) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The GT8E-2P-DSA(11) is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for through-hole mounting in board-to-cable/wire applications. This 2-position connector operates at a 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch with shrouded 4-wall construction and solder termination. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the GT8E-2P-DSA(11) is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (2)
• Pitch - mating (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Style (Board to Cable/Wire)
• Series compatibility (GT8E)

The GT8E-2P-DSA(56) qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in fastening type, insulation height, contact shape, and insulation material do not prevent functional substitution when the core mating and mounting characteristics remain aligned.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The GT8E-2P-DSA(56) is the designated substitute for the obsolete GT8E-2P-DSA(11). Both parts maintain identical mating pitch, contact configuration, mounting methodology, and electrical interface characteristics. The GT8E-2P-DSA(56) carries active product status and maintains full RoHS compliance with MSL 1 rating, supporting long-term supply chain continuity. Differences in fastening mechanism, insulation material composition, and contact geometry do not affect functional compatibility in applications where the core connector interface requirements are met.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can GT8E-2P-DSA(56) directly replace GT8E-2P-DSA(11) in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), contact type (male pin), position count (2), mounting method (through hole), and termination approach (solder). The substitute maintains the same electrical interface and mechanical footprint for board-level integration.

Q: What is the significance of the fastening type difference (Latch Lock vs. Push-Pull)?

A: Fastening type affects connector engagement and disengagement mechanics. The GT8E-2P-DSA(56) uses push-pull fastening instead of latch lock. This difference impacts mating force and user interface but does not alter electrical performance or board-level compatibility.

Q: Does the insulation material change from PBT to Polyamide affect performance?

A: Insulation material selection influences mechanical properties and environmental resistance. Both PBT and Polyamide (PA/Nylon) are standard dielectric materials for connector applications. Material compatibility depends on specific operating environment and mechanical stress conditions in the end application.

Q: Why is the insulation height different between the two parts?

A: Insulation height variation (0.476" vs. 0.531") reflects design differences in the connector body structure. This difference must be evaluated against available board space and clearance requirements in the target application.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both GT8E-2P-DSA(11) and GT8E-2P-DSA(56) are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, supporting deployment in regulated environments.

Q: What is the inventory status for the substitute part?

A: GT8E-2P-DSA(56) is currently in active production with 955 pieces available in stock as new original inventory, ensuring procurement availability for ongoing production requirements.
