Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MDF7-26DP-2.54DSA is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (26)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (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 material (Brass)
• Insulation material (PBT)
• RoHS compliance status

The MDF7-26DP-2.54DSA(96) variant meets all substitution criteria while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status and packaging configuration.
