Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MDF7P-24DP-2.54DSA(55) is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
  • Number of positions and row configuration (24 positions, 2 rows)
  • Pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
  • Mounting type and termination method (Through Hole, Solder)
  • Electrical ratings (3A current, 250V voltage minimum)
  • Operating temperature range (-35°C ~ 85°C minimum)
  • Material compliance (UL94 V-0, RoHS Compliant)

The MDF7P-24DP-2.54DSA(95) qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the MDF7 series from Hirose Electric Co Ltd.
