Substitution eligibility for the MDF7-11P-2.54DSA(01) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Series and Base Product Number: Both parts must belong to the MDF7 series
• Number of Positions: Must remain 11 positions
• Pitch - Mating: Must maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) spacing
• Connector Type: Must be Header configuration
• Contact Type: Must be Male Pin
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole
• Current Rating: Must support minimum 3A
• Voltage Rating: Must support minimum 250V
• Operating Temperature Range: Must cover -35°C ~ 85°C
• Contact Material and Finish: Must be Brass with Gold mating finish
• Insulation Material: Must be Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• RoHS Compliance: Must maintain RoHS Compliant status

The MDF7-11P-2.54DSA(96) qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MDF7-11P-2.54DSA(96) is the qualified substitute for the obsolete MDF7-11P-2.54DSA(01). Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and material composition. The primary distinction is product status: the substitute part is currently active in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Both parts carry RoHS Compliant certification and UL94 V-0 flammability rating, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. The voltage rating specification differs in notation (250V versus 250VAC), but both represent equivalent AC voltage capability at the same magnitude.

For new designs or component replenishment, the MDF7-11P-2.54DSA(96) should be selected to maintain procurement viability and manufacturing support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MDF7-11P-2.54DSA(96) be used as a direct replacement for MDF7-11P-2.54DSA(01)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (3A, 250V), mechanical dimensions, contact configuration, and material specifications. The substitute part is functionally equivalent and physically interchangeable.

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

A: The suffix designation (01 versus 96) indicates different packaging or manufacturing batches. The MDF7-11P-2.54DSA(01) is obsolete, while MDF7-11P-2.54DSA(96) is active production. The latter is supplied in Bag packaging.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching from the obsolete to the active part?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts conform to the same MDF7 series specifications, maintain identical pin pitch (2.54mm), contact length, and insulation dimensions. PCB footprints and mating connector interfaces remain unchanged.

Q: What certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The MDF7-11P-2.54DSA(96) is RoHS Compliant and carries UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Moisture Sensitivity Level is 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Q: Is the voltage rating difference (250V versus 250VAC) significant?

A: No. Both specifications represent equivalent AC voltage capability at 250V magnitude. The notation difference reflects standard documentation practices and does not affect electrical performance or safety ratings.
