Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MA35-26P-2DS(51) qualifies as a direct substitute for the MA35-26P-2DS(71) based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical manufacturer (Hirose Electric Co Ltd) and series (MA35)
• Matching connector configuration: 26-position, 2-row header with 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch
• Identical electrical specifications: 2A current rating, 200VAC voltage rating
• Matching mechanical specifications: through-hole, right-angle mounting with kinked pin solder termination
• Identical contact geometry: square contact shape, 0.138" (3.50mm) mating length, 0.102" (2.60mm) post length
• Identical insulation material (Polyamide/Nylon) and flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 85°C

The primary distinction is product status: MA35-26P-2DS(71) is obsolete, while MA35-26P-2DS(51) is active and RoHS compliant.

Parameter Comparison
