Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MDF7-6P-2.54DSA(01) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (6)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Current rating (3A minimum)
• Voltage rating (250V minimum)
• Operating temperature range (-35°C ~ 85°C)
• Material compliance (RoHS Compliant, UL94 V-0)

The MDF7-6P-2.54DSA(96) qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the substitute part is active in production, whereas the original part is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MDF7-6P-2.54DSA(96) is the qualified substitute for the obsolete MDF7-6P-2.54DSA(01). Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the same MDF7 series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute part maintains full compliance with RoHS requirements and UL94 V-0 flammability standards.

The primary advantage of selecting the MDF7-6P-2.54DSA(96) is its active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The part is currently in stock with 959 units available. All critical parameters—including connector type, contact configuration, pitch specification, current and voltage ratings, operating temperature range, and material composition—are identical between the original and substitute parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MDF7-6P-2.54DSA(96) be used as a direct replacement for the MDF7-6P-2.54DSA(01)?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute part is the active production equivalent of the obsolete original part.

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

A: The suffix designation (01) versus (96) indicates different packaging or production batches within the same Hirose MDF7 series. The electrical and mechanical characteristics are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable. Both feature 6 positions at 2.54mm pitch, 3A current rating, 250V voltage rating, and identical contact geometry and materials.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The MDF7-6P-2.54DSA(01) packaging is not specified in the available data. The MDF7-6P-2.54DSA(96) is supplied in bag packaging. This does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the original and substitute parts are RoHS Compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level?

A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without special moisture control requirements.
