Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MDF7-22DP-2.54DSA is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (22)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing - mating (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Current rating (3A)
• Voltage rating (250V)
• Operating temperature range (-35°C ~ 85°C)
• Contact finish - mating (Gold)
• Insulation material (PBT)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance status

The MDF7-22DP-2.54DSA(96) variant meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the MDF7 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MDF7-22DP-2.54DSA(96) is a direct functional equivalent to the MDF7-22DP-2.54DSA. The primary distinction is product status: the original part is obsolete while the substitute is active. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and contact configuration. Both are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The MDF7-22DP-2.54DSA(96) is available in bag packaging and maintains full compatibility with applications designed for the original part number.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MDF7-22DP-2.54DSA(96) be used as a direct replacement for MDF7-22DP-2.54DSA?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (3A, 250V), mechanical dimensions (22 positions, 2 rows, 0.100" pitch), contact configuration (male pin, gold-plated), and material specifications (PBT insulation, UL94 V-0). The primary difference is product status and packaging format.

Q: What is the significance of the "(96)" designation in MDF7-22DP-2.54DSA(96)?

A: The "(96)" suffix indicates a packaging variant within the MDF7 series. The substitute part is supplied in bag packaging, whereas the original part number does not specify a packaging format.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both MDF7-22DP-2.54DSA and MDF7-22DP-2.54DSA(96) are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability certification.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both parts operate within the range of -35°C to 85°C, suitable for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: Why is the original part marked as obsolete?

A: The MDF7-22DP-2.54DSA is classified as obsolete. The MDF7-22DP-2.54DSA(96) variant remains in active production and is the recommended selection for new designs and ongoing procurement.
