Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MDF7-22P-2.54DSA(95) qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

  • Connector Series: Both parts belong to the MDF7 series
  • Position Count: Identical 22-position configuration
  • Pitch Specification: Both use 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
  • Contact Type: Both feature male pin contacts
  • Mounting Method: Both are through-hole mounted with solder termination
  • Electrical Ratings: Both rated for 3A current and 250V voltage operation
  • Temperature Range: Identical -35°C ~ 85°C operating range
  • Material Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating
  • Contact Material & Finish: Both use brass contacts with tin plating

The primary distinction is product status: MDF7-22P-2.54DSA(55) is obsolete while MDF7-22P-2.54DSA(95) is active, with updated packaging (Bag format).
