Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the HIF3BAF-26PA-2.54DS(71) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 26 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing
• Mechanical Interface: Through-hole, right-angle mounting with shrouded 4-wall construction
• Electrical Specifications: 200V voltage rating, male pin contact type, solder termination
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, operating temperature range -55°C ~ 85°C
• Contact Materials: Brass material with gold-plated mating surface and tin-plated post

The HIF3BAF-26PA-2.54DS(63) meets all these critical parameters and is classified as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is product status: the substitute is active production, whereas the main part is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HIF3BAF-26PA-2.54DS(63) is the direct substitute for the obsolete HIF3BAF-26PA-2.54DS(71). Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the HIF3B series and share identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. The substitute maintains full compatibility across all critical parameters: 26-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, 200V voltage rating, and -55°C ~ 85°C operating temperature range.

The primary advantage of selecting the HIF3BAF-26PA-2.54DS(63) is its active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts carry RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting current regulatory requirements. The substitute is packaged in trays, which may differ from the original packaging specification but does not affect functional or mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HIF3BAF-26PA-2.54DS(63) be used as a direct replacement for the HIF3BAF-26PA-2.54DS(71)?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute is the recommended replacement due to its active production status.

Q: Are there any differences in pin configuration or pitch between these parts?

A: No. Both connectors feature 26 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing. Pin configuration is identical.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect compatibility?

A: No. The substitute is supplied in trays rather than the original packaging, but this affects only handling and storage, not functional or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the HIF3BAF-26PA-2.54DS(71) and HIF3BAF-26PA-2.54DS(63) are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Q: What is the voltage and current rating for this connector?

A: The connector is rated for 200V. The original part is rated for 1A; the substitute current rating varies by wire gauge.

Q: Are the contact materials and finishes the same?

A: Yes. Both parts use brass contacts with gold-plated mating surfaces (8.00µin thickness) and tin-plated posts (78.7µin thickness).

Q: What is the operating temperature range?

A: Both connectors operate across -55°C to 85°C, suitable for industrial and commercial applications.
