Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MDF7B-30DP-2.54DSA is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

  • Connector type (Header)
  • Contact type (Male Pin)
  • Number of positions (30)
  • Number of rows (2)
  • Pitch configuration (0.100" / 2.54mm mating pitch and row spacing)
  • Mounting type (Through Hole)
  • Termination method (Solder)
  • Current rating (3A minimum)
  • Voltage rating (250V minimum)
  • Operating temperature range (-35°C ~ 85°C)
  • Material compliance (UL94 V-0, RoHS Compliant)

The identified substitute part MDF7B-30DP-2.54DSA(96) belongs to the same MDF7 series and maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. The primary distinction is product status: the main part is obsolete while the substitute is active, with packaging specified as Bag format.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MDF7B-30DP-2.54DSA(96) is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete MDF7B-30DP-2.54DSA. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications (3A current, 250V voltage), mechanical configuration (30-position, 2-row, 2.54mm pitch), and compliance certifications (UL94 V-0, RoHS Compliant). The substitute part carries active product status with established supply availability, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing production requiring this connector specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MDF7B-30DP-2.54DSA(96) be used as a direct replacement for MDF7B-30DP-2.54DSA?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (3A, 250V), mechanical dimensions (30 positions, 2 rows, 2.54mm pitch), mounting type (through-hole solder), and material compliance (UL94 V-0, RoHS). The substitute is the active production equivalent.

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

A: The main part is classified as obsolete with no active manufacturing status. The substitute MDF7B-30DP-2.54DSA(96) is an active product with current inventory availability and standard Bag packaging.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching from the obsolete to the active part?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts conform to the same MDF7 series specifications, connector type, contact configuration, and electrical parameters. PCB footprints and mating interface requirements are identical.

Q: What packaging format is available for the substitute part?

A: The MDF7B-30DP-2.54DSA(96) is supplied in Bag packaging format.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the main part and substitute are RoHS Compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).
