Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MDF7-10P-2.54DSA(01) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Series: MDF7 family designation
• Number of Positions: 10 positions
• Pitch Spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Connector Type: Header configuration
• Contact Type: Male pin contacts
• Mounting Type: Through-hole solder termination
• Electrical Ratings: 3A current capacity and 250V voltage rating
• Operating Temperature Range: -35°C to 85°C
• Material Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance

The substitute part MDF7-10P-2.54DSA(96) maintains all critical electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters required for functional equivalence. The primary distinction is the product status transition from obsolete to active availability and a packaging change from standard to bag format.

Parameter Comparison
