Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HIF3CA-26PA-2.54DSA(71) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins, 26 positions in 2 rows
• Pitch Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Shrouding & Fastening: Shrouded 4-wall construction with latch lock/eject hooks
• Electrical Ratings: 200V voltage rating and current capacity
• Material & Environmental Compliance: PBT insulation, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliance, MSL 1

The substitute part HIF3CA-26PA-2.54DSA(63) maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters required for functional equivalence, with the primary distinction being product status transition from obsolete to active availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HIF3CA-26PA-2.54DSA(63) is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete HIF3CA-26PA-2.54DSA(71). Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (200V, 1A current capacity), mechanical dimensions, contact configurations, and material specifications. The substitute part is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability (819 pcs), whereas the original part is obsolete with limited remaining stock (1066 pcs).

Both parts satisfy RoHS compliance requirements and carry identical environmental certifications (UL94 V-0, MSL 1). The transition from HIF3C series to HIF3B series represents a product line evolution by Hirose Electric Co., Ltd., with no degradation in functional or electrical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the HIF3CA-26PA-2.54DSA(71) and HIF3CA-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 construction, and through-hole solder termination. Mating dimensions, insulation height (0.701"), and contact post length (0.130") are identical.

Q: What is the difference between the HIF3C and HIF3B series designations?

A: The series designation change reflects a product line evolution by Hirose Electric Co., Ltd. The HIF3B series (substitute part) represents the active production equivalent of the obsolete HIF3C series (original part). Functional and electrical specifications remain unchanged.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts carry 200V voltage rating and equivalent current capacity. Contact materials (brass), finishes (gold mating, tin post), and finish thicknesses are identical.

Q: What is the current availability status of each part?

A: The HIF3CA-26PA-2.54DSA(71) is obsolete with 1066 pcs in stock. The HIF3CA-26PA-2.54DSA(63) is active with 819 pcs in stock.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level.

Q: Are there any differences in contact length specifications?

A: The contact length - mating specification is not provided for the substitute part HIF3CA-26PA-2.54DSA(63). The overall contact length and contact length - post (0.130") are identical to the original part.
