HIF3BAF-34PA-2.54DS(71) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HIF3BAF-34PA-2.54DS(71) is a rectangular connector header manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-cable/wire applications. This connector features 34 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete product status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for production and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HIF3BAF-34PA-2.54DS(71) is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Connector Type & Contact Type: Header with Male Pin contacts
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 34 positions in 2 rows
• Pitch Specifications: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole, right-angle mounting with solder termination
• Shrouding & Fastening: Shrouded 4-wall design with latch lock/eject hooks
• Electrical Ratings: 200V voltage rating and brass contact material with gold mating finish
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliance, and MSL 1 rating

The substitute part HIF3BAF-34PA-2.54DS(63) maintains all these critical parameters while differing only in packaging configuration and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HIF3BAF-34PA-2.54DS(63) is the direct substitute for the obsolete HIF3BAF-34PA-2.54DS(71). Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the HIF3B series and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. The primary distinction is product status: the HIF3BAF-34PA-2.54DS(63) is active and available in tray packaging, while the HIF3BAF-34PA-2.54DS(71) is obsolete.

Both parts satisfy the same compliance requirements, including RoHS compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification. The electrical performance remains consistent with 200V voltage rating and brass contacts with gold mating finish. Mechanical compatibility is assured through identical pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (34), row configuration (2 rows), and mounting specifications (through-hole, right-angle).

For new designs or component replenishment, the HIF3BAF-34PA-2.54DS(63) is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and confirmed availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HIF3BAF-34PA-2.54DS(63) be used as a direct replacement for HIF3BAF-34PA-2.54DS(71)?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally and mechanically identical. The HIF3BAF-34PA-2.54DS(63) maintains all critical specifications including 34-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting, shrouded 4-wall design, and electrical ratings. The primary difference is packaging format and product status.

Q: What is the significance of the different part number suffixes (71 vs. 63)?

A: The suffix designates the packaging configuration. The HIF3BAF-34PA-2.54DS(71) is obsolete, while the HIF3BAF-34PA-2.54DS(63) is active and supplied in tray packaging. The functional specifications remain identical.

Q: Are there any electrical or thermal performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate within the same temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C), maintain identical voltage rating (200V), and use identical contact materials and finishes. Current rating for the HIF3BAF-34PA-2.54DS(63) varies by wire gauge, consistent with standard connector specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the HIF3BAF-34PA-2.54DS(71) and HIF3BAF-34PA-2.54DS(63) are RoHS compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and have MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: What are the key parameters that define substitution compatibility for this connector?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), position count (34), row configuration (2 rows), pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), shrouding (4-wall), termination method (solder), and electrical ratings (200V, brass with gold finish).
