MDF7P-17P-2.54DSA(13) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MDF7P-17P-2.54DSA(13) is a 17-position header spacer connector manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for through-hole mounting with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is essential for ongoing system maintenance, repair, and component sourcing in applications requiring compatible 17-position rectangular connectors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MDF7P-17P-2.54DSA(13) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Must be 17
• Pitch: Must be 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: Must be 1
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole
• Termination: Must be Solder
• Series Compatibility: MDF7 series

The substitute part MDF7P-17P-2.54DSA(83) meets all these criteria. Both parts belong to the MDF7 series, share identical position count, pitch, row configuration, and mounting specifications. The primary difference is product status: the substitute is active, whereas the main part is obsolete.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MDF7P-17P-2.54DSA(83) is the direct substitute for the obsolete MDF7P-17P-2.54DSA(13). Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the same MDF7 series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute part is currently in active production status with 1104 units available in inventory, compared to the obsolete main part with 718 units remaining.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with modern manufacturing and storage requirements. The dimensional tolerances between the two parts are negligible, with stack height and overall contact length variations within standard manufacturing tolerances (0.002" and 0.001" respectively).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MDF7P-17P-2.54DSA(83) be used as a direct replacement for MDF7P-17P-2.54DSA(13)?

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

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

A: The primary difference is product status. MDF7P-17P-2.54DSA(13) is obsolete, while MDF7P-17P-2.54DSA(83) is in active production. The suffix designation (13 vs. 83) indicates different manufacturing batches or packaging configurations, but electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent.

Q: Are the dimensional specifications identical?

A: Dimensions are functionally equivalent. Overall contact length differs by 0.001" (0.03mm) and stack height by 0.002" (0.05mm), which are within standard manufacturing tolerances and do not affect interchangeability.

Q: What packaging is provided with the substitute part?

A: MDF7P-17P-2.54DSA(83) is supplied in bag packaging, whereas packaging information for MDF7P-17P-2.54DSA(13) was not specified in the original documentation.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both MDF7P-17P-2.54DSA(13) and MDF7P-17P-2.54DSA(83) are RoHS compliant with MSL Level 1 rating.

Q: What is the current availability of the substitute part?

A: MDF7P-17P-2.54DSA(83) has 1104 units in new original stock, providing adequate supply for component sourcing and system maintenance applications.
