Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the MDF6-14DP-3.5DSA(05) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series designation (MDF6)
• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions and row configuration (14 positions, 2 rows)
• Mating pitch (0.138" / 3.50mm)
• Row spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Voltage rating (300V)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 85°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance status

The substitute part MDF6-14DP-3.5DSA(23) maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution within the same application context.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MDF6-14DP-3.5DSA(23) is the active equivalent for the obsolete MDF6-14DP-3.5DSA(05). Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector geometry, pitch, row spacing, mounting configuration, and environmental ratings.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: the MDF6-14DP-3.5DSA(05) is obsolete, while the MDF6-14DP-3.5DSA(23) is active and currently in production. Both parts carry RoHS compliance certification and UL94 V-0 flammability rating, meeting the same regulatory requirements.

The contact finish composition differs slightly (Tin-Copper versus Tin), though both maintain identical finish thickness specifications. This variation does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility within the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MDF6-14DP-3.5DSA(23) be used as a direct replacement for MDF6-14DP-3.5DSA(05)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, row spacing, mounting method, shrouding configuration, and electrical ratings. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within the same application context.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is product status. The MDF6-14DP-3.5DSA(05) is classified as obsolete, while the MDF6-14DP-3.5DSA(23) is active. Additionally, packaging differs (unspecified versus bag), and contact finish composition varies (Tin-Copper versus Tin). These differences do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are the contact finish specifications compatible?

A: Both parts specify identical contact finish thickness of 39.4µin (1.00µm). The finish composition differs (Tin-Copper versus Tin), but both meet the same electrical and mechanical performance requirements for this connector series.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both MDF6-14DP-3.5DSA(05) and MDF6-14DP-3.5DSA(23) are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Both operate across the identical temperature range of -30°C to 85°C and maintain the same voltage rating of 300V.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: The MDF6-14DP-3.5DSA(23) is supplied in bag packaging, while the MDF6-14DP-3.5DSA(05) packaging is not specified. This affects procurement and handling procedures but does not impact the connector's electrical or mechanical performance in the application.
