Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HIF3BAG-26PA-2.54DSA(71) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 26 positions in 2 rows
• Pitch Specifications: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Shrouding & Mechanical Design: Shrouded 4-wall construction with latch lock/eject hooks
• Electrical Ratings: 200V voltage rating and contact material (brass with gold mating finish)
• Environmental Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliance, and MSL 1 rating

The substitute part HIF3BAG-26PA-2.54DSA(63) maintains identical specifications across all these parameters, with the primary distinction being product status (active versus obsolete) and packaging format (tray versus original packaging).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HIF3BAG-26PA-2.54DSA(63) is a direct functional equivalent to the HIF3BAG-26PA-2.54DSA(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 lifecycle status: the HIF3BAG-26PA-2.54DSA(71) is classified as obsolete, while the HIF3BAG-26PA-2.54DSA(63) maintains active production status. Both parts carry RoHS compliance certification, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification, meeting equivalent regulatory and environmental requirements.

For new designs and production applications, the HIF3BAG-26PA-2.54DSA(63) is the appropriate selection due to its active status and assured long-term availability. Existing designs utilizing the HIF3BAG-26PA-2.54DSA(71) can transition to the substitute part without modification to PCB layouts, mating connectors, or electrical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the HIF3BAG-26PA-2.54DSA(71) and HIF3BAG-26PA-2.54DSA(63) mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature identical 26-position, 2-row configurations with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, shrouded 4-wall design, and solder termination. PCB footprints and mating connector interfaces are identical.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. The HIF3BAG-26PA-2.54DSA(71) is obsolete with original packaging, while the HIF3BAG-26PA-2.54DSA(63) is active production with tray packaging. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use the HIF3BAG-26PA-2.54DSA(63) as a direct replacement in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical contact materials (brass with gold mating finish and tin post finish), electrical ratings (200V, 1A), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C), and all mechanical dimensions. No design modifications are required.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the HIF3BAG-26PA-2.54DSA(71) and HIF3BAG-26PA-2.54DSA(63) are RoHS compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: What does the packaging difference mean for procurement?

A: The HIF3BAG-26PA-2.54DSA(71) comes in original packaging, while the HIF3BAG-26PA-2.54DSA(63) is supplied in tray packaging. This affects handling and storage procedures but does not impact component functionality or performance.

Q: Why is the HIF3BAG-26PA-2.54DSA(71) obsolete?

A: Manufacturer product lifecycle decisions result in obsolescence. The HIF3BAG-26PA-2.54DSA(63) represents the active equivalent within the same series, ensuring continued availability and support.
