Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MDF7-24S-2.54DSA(96) is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete MDF7-24S-2.54DSA(69). Both parts share identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications within the MDF7 series. The primary distinction is product status: MDF7-24S-2.54DSA(96) maintains active manufacturing status with full position loading (all 24 positions loaded versus 18 in the original), ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and RoHS compliance standards. The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory alignment. Selection of MDF7-24S-2.54DSA(96) eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full functional and mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MDF7-24S-2.54DSA(96) directly replace MDF7-24S-2.54DSA(69) in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (24), contact configuration (female socket), electrical ratings (3A, 250VAC), mounting method (through-hole solder), and environmental specifications (-35°C ~ 85°C, UL94 V-0). The substitute part is mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of "Number of Positions Loaded"?

A: The original part has 18 of 24 positions loaded with contacts, while the substitute has all 24 positions loaded. This difference does not affect compatibility; it reflects manufacturing configuration. The substitute provides full position availability for applications requiring all 24 contact positions.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original part packaging is not specified. The substitute is supplied in bag packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Why is the original part classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. MDF7-24S-2.54DSA(96) represents the active continuation within the same MDF7 series, ensuring ongoing supply and support.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The substitute carries ROHS3 compliance, representing alignment with current regulatory standards. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification and MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
