IL-S-6P-S2L2-EF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IL-S-6P-S2L2-EF is a rectangular connector header manufactured by JAE Electronics, designed for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications. This 6-position connector with 2.00mm pitch serves board-to-cable/wire interconnection requirements. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system support, maintenance, and new design implementations where legacy compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IL-S-6P-S2L2-EF is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Position Count & Pitch: 6 positions at 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch
• Mounting & Orientation: Through-hole, right-angle configuration
• Shrouding Design: Shrouded with 4-wall construction
• Fastening Mechanism: Push-pull fastening type
• Electrical Performance: Minimum 3A current rating and compatible voltage specifications
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The DF3A-6P-2DS from Hirose Electric Co Ltd meets all critical substitution criteria, providing functional and mechanical compatibility for applications currently using the IL-S-6P-S2L2-EF.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF3A-6P-2DS is the qualified substitute for the obsolete IL-S-6P-S2L2-EF based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status & Availability: The IL-S-6P-S2L2-EF is obsolete, while the DF3A-6P-2DS maintains active production status with substantial inventory availability (43,014 pcs), ensuring long-term supply chain continuity.

Mechanical & Electrical Compatibility: Both connectors share identical critical specifications: 6-position, 2.00mm pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, 4-wall shrouding, push-pull fastening, and 3A current rating. Contact geometry, material composition (brass with tin finish), and insulation material (polyamide/nylon) are functionally equivalent.

Environmental & Compliance Alignment: Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification, MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating, REACH Unaffected status, and EAR99 ECCN classification, ensuring regulatory parity for existing and new applications.

Operating Temperature Consideration: The DF3A-6P-2DS provides an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) compared to the IL-S-6P-S2L2-EF (-40°C ~ 85°C), offering enhanced thermal performance for demanding environments without compromising compatibility in standard operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF3A-6P-2DS directly replace the IL-S-6P-S2L2-EF in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (2.00mm), position count (6), mounting configuration (through-hole right-angle), shrouding design (4-wall), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters.

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

A: Primary differences include manufacturer origin (JAE vs. Hirose), product status (obsolete vs. active), insulation color (brown vs. black), and operating temperature range. The DF3A-6P-2DS provides a wider temperature operating window (-55°C ~ 105°C vs. -40°C ~ 85°C). These differences do not affect functional substitution in standard applications.

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations?

A: The IL-S-6P-S2L2-EF is obsolete with limited remaining stock (837 pcs). The DF3A-6P-2DS is actively manufactured with substantial inventory (43,014 pcs), making it the preferred choice for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both connectors carry identical certifications: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, MSL 1 moisture sensitivity, REACH Unaffected status, and EAR99 ECCN classification. Regulatory compliance is equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the contact length differences?

A: Contact length variations (mating: 0.126" vs. 0.122"; post: 0.138" vs. 0.114") and insulation height differences (0.177" vs. 0.197") are within acceptable mechanical tolerances for push-pull connector systems. These dimensional variations do not compromise mating performance or electrical integrity in standard board-to-cable applications.

Q: Is the DF3A-6P-2DS suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: The DF3A-6P-2DS supports operating temperatures up to 105°C, making it suitable for elevated-temperature environments. The IL-S-6P-S2L2-EF is rated to 85°C. For applications requiring operation above 85°C, the DF3A-6P-2DS provides enhanced thermal capability.
