Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MA35-20P-2DS(71) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
• Position count and row configuration (20 positions, 2 rows)
• Pitch and row spacing (0.079" / 2.00mm)
• Mounting orientation and termination method (Through Hole, Right Angle; Kinked Pin, Solder)
• Electrical ratings (2A, 200VAC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 85°C)
• Contact material and finish specifications (Brass with Tin plating)
• Insulation material and flammability rating (Polyamide/Nylon, UL94 V-0)

The MA35-20P-2DS(51) meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
