Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MA35-16P-2DS(71) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type, contact type, and mating interface (Header, Male Pin, Board to Board or Cable)
• Physical configuration (16 positions, 2 rows, 0.079" pitch, right-angle mounting)
• Electrical performance (2A current rating, 200VAC voltage rating)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C)
• Termination method (Kinked Pin, Solder)
• Material compliance (UL94 V-0 flammability rating)

The MA35-16P-2DS(51) meets all these criteria and is classified as an active product, making it a direct functional equivalent suitable for replacement applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MA35-16P-2DS(51) is the direct substitute for the obsolete MA35-16P-2DS(71). Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications, with the primary distinction being product status and compliance certification.

The MA35-16P-2DS(51) carries active product status from Hirose Electric Co Ltd and is certified RoHS Compliant, providing assurance of ongoing availability and regulatory alignment. The obsolete status of the MA35-16P-2DS(71) necessitates transition to the MA35-16P-2DS(51) for new designs and ongoing procurement.

All electrical parameters, physical dimensions, mounting characteristics, and operating conditions are equivalent between the two parts. No design modifications are required for substitution.
