Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The MDF7B-5P-2.54DSA(95) qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical manufacturer and series (Hirose Electric, MDF7)
• Matching connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
• Identical pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Identical number of positions (5)
• Identical mounting type (Through Hole)
• Matching electrical ratings (3A current, 250V voltage)
• Identical operating temperature range (-35°C ~ 85°C)
• Matching material specifications (Brass contacts, PBT insulation)
• Identical compliance certifications (RoHS Compliant, UL94 V-0)

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: MDF7B-5P-2.54DSA(55) is obsolete, while MDF7B-5P-2.54DSA(95) maintains active status with current inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MDF7B-5P-2.54DSA(95) is the direct functional equivalent for applications currently using MDF7B-5P-2.54DSA(55). Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance. The active product status of the MDF7B-5P-2.54DSA(95) ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts carry RoHS Compliant certification and UL94 V-0 flammability rating, meeting standard industrial compliance requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement availability and supply chain requirements rather than technical performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MDF7B-5P-2.54DSA(95) be used as a direct replacement for MDF7B-5P-2.54DSA(55)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (3A, 250V), mechanical dimensions, pitch specification (2.54mm), contact configuration (5-position male pin header), and material composition. The parts are functionally interchangeable in all applications.

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

A: The primary difference is product lifecycle status. MDF7B-5P-2.54DSA(55) is classified as obsolete, while MDF7B-5P-2.54DSA(95) maintains active status with current manufacturing and inventory support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The MDF7B-5P-2.54DSA(55) packaging specification is not provided. The MDF7B-5P-2.54DSA(95) is supplied in bag packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS Compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by: connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), number of positions (5), pitch specification (2.54mm), mounting type (Through Hole), current rating (3A), voltage rating (250V), operating temperature range (-35°C ~ 85°C), and material specifications (Brass contacts, PBT insulation, Tin finish).
