Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The HIF3BA-34P-2.54W(63) qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical connector type, contact type, and position count (34 positions, 2 rows)
• Matching pitch specifications (0.100" mating pitch and row spacing)
• Identical mounting type (through hole) and shrouding configuration (shrouded 4-wall)
• Matching termination method (wire wrap) and fastening type (latch lock/eject hooks)
• Identical insulation material (PBT) and contact material (brass)
• Matching operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C) and voltage rating (200V)
• Equivalent flammability rating (UL94 V-0) and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The primary distinction is product status: the main part is obsolete while the substitute is active, with improved compliance status (ROHS3 vs RoHS Compliant).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
