MD1-9PL1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The MD1-9PL1 is a 9-position D-Type Micro-D plug connector with male pins, designed for panel mount applications. Manufactured by ITT Cannon, LLC, this connector is part of the MD series and features a compact 0.050 pitch layout with 0.043 row-to-row spacing. The connector is currently in stock with 1,045 pieces available as new original inventory.

Substitute parts are identified when they maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering alternative sourcing options, different packaging configurations, or active product status alternatives within the same connector family.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MD1-9PL1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Connector style: D-Type, Micro-D
• Connector type: Plug with male pins
• Number of positions: 9
• Number of rows: 2
• Contact type: Signal
• Current rating: 3A
• Operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 125°C
• Contact material: Copper alloy
• Contact finish: Gold

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Shell size and pitch: 0.050 pitch x 0.043 row-to-row spacing
• Mounting type: Panel mount
• Termination method: Wire leads
• Shell material: Thermoplastic
• Dielectric material: Polyester thermoplastic, glass filled

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS compliant status

The MDV1-9PL1 meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria and is classified as an active substitute part. The primary difference is packaging configuration (bulk packaging for MDV1-9PL1 versus standard packaging for MD1-9PL1) and series designation (MDV series versus MD series), with no impact on functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: MD1-9PL1

• 1,045 pieces in stock as new original inventory
• Immediate availability for production requirements
• Standard packaging configuration

Substitute Selection: MDV1-9PL1

• 783 pieces in stock as new original inventory
• Active product status with ongoing manufacturer support
• Bulk packaging configuration suitable for high-volume applications
• Identical electrical and mechanical specifications
• RoHS compliant, meeting environmental compliance requirements

Both parts are manufactured by ITT Cannon, LLC and maintain full functional equivalence. Selection between MD1-9PL1 and MDV1-9PL1 is determined by packaging requirements and inventory availability rather than technical performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MDV1-9PL1 be used as a direct replacement for MD1-9PL1?

A: Yes. The MDV1-9PL1 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the MD1-9PL1. Both connectors feature identical 9-position D-Type Micro-D plug configurations with male pins, 0.050 pitch spacing, 3A current rating, and -65°C to 125°C operating temperature range. The primary difference is packaging format (bulk versus standard).

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on equivalence across connector style (D-Type, Micro-D), connector type (plug, male pins), position count (9), row configuration (2), mounting type (panel mount), shell pitch (0.050 x 0.043), contact specifications (signal type, copper alloy, gold finish), current rating (3A), operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C), and material composition (thermoplastic shell, polyester thermoplastic glass-filled dielectric).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both MD1-9PL1 and MDV1-9PL1 are RoHS compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and assembly.

Q: What is the difference between MD and MDV series designations?

A: The MD and MDV series designations indicate different product lines within ITT Cannon's Micro-D connector family. Both series maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for equivalent part numbers. The series designation does not affect functional compatibility or performance characteristics.

Q: How do packaging differences affect component selection?

A: MD1-9PL1 uses standard packaging suitable for individual or small-quantity orders. MDV1-9PL1 uses bulk packaging, which is optimized for high-volume production runs and automated assembly processes. Packaging selection depends on application requirements and manufacturing workflow rather than connector performance.

Q: What is the wire lead termination specification?

A: Both connectors feature wire lead termination, meaning the connector is terminated with individual wire leads rather than surface-mount or board-mount configurations. This termination method is suitable for applications requiring flexible wiring connections to panel-mounted connector positions.
