IL-S-13P-S2L2-EF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IL-S-13P-S2L2-EF is a rectangular connector header manufactured by JAE Electronics, designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This 13-position connector operates at 2.00mm pitch and supports 3A per contact at 300VAC/400VDC. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IL-S-13P-S2L2-EF is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Position Count & Pitch: 13 positions at 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch
• Mounting Geometry: Through-hole, right-angle orientation with shrouded 4-wall design
• Electrical Performance: Minimum 3A current rating and voltage compatibility
• Material & Safety Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and brass contacts with tin finish

The substitute part DF3A-13P-2DS meets these core substitution criteria across all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF3A-13P-2DS from Hirose Electric Co Ltd is a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete IL-S-13P-S2L2-EF. Both connectors share identical mating pitch, position count, mounting configuration, and shrouding design. Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain equivalent electrical performance at 3A current rating.

The DF3A-13P-2DS offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) provides broader thermal performance compared to the original part (-40°C ~ 85°C). Both components maintain REACH compliance and identical moisture sensitivity levels.

Minor dimensional variations exist in contact lengths and insulation heights; however, these differences do not affect functional compatibility in standard through-hole, right-angle board-to-cable applications. The DF3A-13P-2DS termination method combines press-fit and solder options, providing installation flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF3A-13P-2DS directly replace the IL-S-13P-S2L2-EF in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical mating pitch (2.00mm), position count (13), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and shrouding configuration (4-wall). Electrical ratings are equivalent at 3A per contact. Physical footprints are compatible for standard PCB layouts.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer origin, product status, and operating temperature range. The DF3A-13P-2DS is an active product with extended temperature capability (-55°C ~ 105°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C). Contact length and insulation height dimensions vary slightly but do not impact standard applications. Insulation color differs (brown versus black).

Q: Are there any compliance or certification concerns with substitution?

A: No. Both connectors carry identical REACH compliance status, ECCN classification (EAR99), and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Moisture sensitivity levels are equivalent (MSL 1 - Unlimited). Both use brass contacts with tin finish and polyamide insulation materials.

Q: What is the impact of the different termination methods?

A: The IL-S-13P-S2L2-EF uses kinked pin solder termination, while the DF3A-13P-2DS offers press-fit and solder options. Press-fit termination provides improved mechanical retention and simplified assembly. Solder termination remains available on the substitute part for compatibility with existing assembly processes.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of the DF3A-13P-2DS affect compatibility?

A: No. The extended range (-55°C ~ 105°C) is a performance enhancement that does not create incompatibility. Applications operating within the original temperature specification (-40°C ~ 85°C) will function identically on both connectors.
