IL-Z-10PL-SMTYE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IL-Z-10PL-SMTYE is a rectangular connector header manufactured by JAE Electronics, designed for surface mount, right-angle applications with 10 positions at 1.25mm pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and procurement planning. The connector features shrouded 4-wall construction, solder termination, and push-pull fastening, suitable for board-to-cable/wire interconnections in compact form factors.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the IL-Z-10PL-SMTYE is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Pitch & Position Count: 0.049" (1.25mm) pitch, 10 positions, single row
• Mounting & Orientation: Surface mount, right-angle configuration
• Shrouding & Fastening: Shrouded 4-wall construction with solder termination
• Electrical Ratings: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed application requirements
• Material & Compliance: Brass contacts with tin finish, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, MSL 1

The DF13A-10P-1.25H(21) from Hirose Electric Co Ltd satisfies these substitution criteria across all mechanical and electrical parameters, with the exception of fastening type (detent lock versus push-pull) and minor variations in operating temperature and voltage rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DF13A-10P-1.25H(21) is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete IL-Z-10PL-SMTYE. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces (pitch, position count, mounting orientation, and shrouding) and equivalent electrical performance for standard applications.

Key considerations for selection:

Voltage Rating Differential: The IL-Z-10PL-SMTYE is rated at 200V while the DF13A-10P-1.25H(21) is rated at 150V. Applications requiring voltages above 150V must retain the original JAE component or identify alternative substitutes with higher voltage ratings.

Operating Temperature Range: The Hirose substitute extends the upper operating temperature to 85°C compared to 70°C for the JAE original, providing broader thermal operating margin. The lower temperature limit differs by 5°C (-35°C versus -40°C).

Fastening Mechanism: The IL-Z-10PL-SMTYE uses push-pull fastening while the DF13A-10P-1.25H(21) employs detent lock fastening. This difference affects mating/unmating force characteristics and connector retention behavior. Applications with specific fastening requirements must account for this distinction.

Compliance & Availability: The Hirose substitute carries ROHS3 compliance certification and active product status with higher inventory availability (2195 units versus 784 units), supporting long-term procurement continuity.

Insulation Material: The JAE original uses Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) while the Hirose substitute uses Polyamide (PA) Nylon. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements; material selection should align with specific environmental or chemical exposure requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DF13A-10P-1.25H(21) directly replace the IL-Z-10PL-SMTYE in all applications?

A: The DF13A-10P-1.25H(21) is mechanically and electrically compatible for applications operating at or below 150V. Applications requiring the full 200V rating of the original component require alternative solutions. The difference in fastening type (detent lock versus push-pull) may affect connector retention characteristics and should be evaluated for specific use cases.

Q: What is the significance of the different fastening types?

A: Push-pull fastening (IL-Z-10PL-SMTYE) and detent lock fastening (DF13A-10P-1.25H(21)) provide different mating/unmating mechanisms. Push-pull connectors typically require axial force application, while detent lock connectors use a locking mechanism for retention. The choice depends on application requirements for connector security and accessibility.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these connectors?

A: Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. The Hirose substitute carries ROHS3 compliance certification. The JAE original's compliance status is not specified in available documentation.

Q: How do the operating temperature ranges compare?

A: The IL-Z-10PL-SMTYE operates from -40°C to 70°C, while the DF13A-10P-1.25H(21) operates from -35°C to 85°C. The Hirose substitute provides a wider upper temperature margin (15°C higher) but a slightly narrower lower temperature margin (5°C higher minimum). Applications with extreme low-temperature requirements should verify compatibility.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to the substitute part?

A: The DF13A-10P-1.25H(21) is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes. The original IL-Z-10PL-SMTYE packaging format is not specified. Verify packaging compatibility with assembly equipment and procurement workflows.

Q: Why is the IL-Z-10PL-SMTYE classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the component is no longer manufactured by JAE Electronics. The DF13A-10P-1.25H(21) maintains active product status with Hirose Electric, ensuring ongoing availability and technical support for new designs and production continuity.
