Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MDF7-14DP-2.54DSA(96) qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical manufacturer (Hirose Electric Co Ltd) and base series (MDF7)
• Matching connector type, contact type, and pin configuration (14-position, 2-row header)
• Identical pitch specifications (0.100" mating pitch, 0.100" row spacing)
• Identical electrical ratings (3A current, 250V voltage)
• Identical operating temperature range (-35°C ~ 85°C)
• Identical mounting method (through-hole solder termination)
• Identical material composition and flammability rating (PBT insulation, UL94 V-0)
• Identical RoHS compliance status

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is product status: the MDF7-14DP-2.54DSA is obsolete, while the MDF7-14DP-2.54DSA(96) is active. The substitute part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MDF7-14DP-2.54DSA(96) is the direct equivalent for the obsolete MDF7-14DP-2.54DSA. Selection of the active substitute part is supported by:

• Full electrical parameter equivalence across current and voltage ratings
• Identical mechanical specifications ensuring PCB footprint compatibility
• Matching material certifications and flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)
• Maintained RoHS compliance status
• Active product status ensuring supply chain availability and manufacturing continuity

The substitute part maintains all functional and physical characteristics required for direct replacement in existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MDF7-14DP-2.54DSA(96) be used as a direct replacement for MDF7-14DP-2.54DSA?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (3A, 250V), mechanical dimensions (14-position, 2-row, 0.100" pitch), mounting method (through-hole solder), and material specifications. The substitute is the active equivalent of the obsolete part.

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

A: The primary difference is product status. MDF7-14DP-2.54DSA is obsolete, while MDF7-14DP-2.54DSA(96) is active. The "(96)" designation indicates the active variant with current manufacturing availability. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part has no specified packaging designation, while the substitute is supplied in bag packaging. This does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it reflects current manufacturing and distribution practices for the active part.

Q: Will the substitute part fit the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical pitch specifications (0.100" mating pitch, 0.100" row spacing), contact length, and through-hole mounting configuration. PCB footprints designed for the original part accommodate the substitute without modification.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both MDF7-14DP-2.54DSA and MDF7-14DP-2.54DSA(96) are RoHS compliant with identical material composition and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.
