Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MDF7P-26DP-2.54DSA(33) is determined by the following critical parameters:

  • Connector type (Header)
  • Contact type (Male Pin)
  • Number of positions (26)
  • Number of rows (2)
  • Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
  • Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
  • Mounting type (Through Hole)
  • Termination method (Solder)
  • Current rating (3A)
  • Voltage rating (250V)
  • Operating temperature range (-35°C ~ 85°C)
  • Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
  • RoHS compliance

The MDF7P-26DP-2.54DSA(73) qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is application style (board-to-cable/wire versus board-to-board) and product status (active versus obsolete).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MDF7P-26DP-2.54DSA(73) is the direct substitute for the obsolete MDF7P-26DP-2.54DSA(33). Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications (3A current rating, 250V voltage rating) and mechanical dimensions (26 positions, 2.54mm pitch, through-hole mounting). Both are RoHS compliant and rated UL94 V-0 for material flammability.

The MDF7P-26DP-2.54DSA(73) is currently in active production status with higher inventory availability (952 pieces in stock versus 773 pieces for the obsolete variant). This substitute is suitable for new designs and ongoing production requirements where the MDF7P-26DP-2.54DSA(33) is no longer available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the MDF7P-26DP-2.54DSA(73) directly replace the MDF7P-26DP-2.54DSA(33)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (3A, 250V), mechanical dimensions (26 positions, 2.54mm pitch), contact geometry, and material specifications. The substitute is electrically and mechanically compatible.

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

A: The primary differences are product status (active versus obsolete) and application style designation (board-to-cable/wire versus board-to-board). The MDF7P-26DP-2.54DSA(73) also has all 26 positions loaded, whereas the original has 20 positions loaded.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the MDF7P-26DP-2.54DSA(33) and MDF7P-26DP-2.54DSA(73) are RoHS compliant with UL94 V-0 material flammability rating.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both parts operate across -35°C to 85°C, suitable for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: Is the packaging different between these parts?

A: The MDF7P-26DP-2.54DSA(73) is supplied in bag packaging, while packaging information for the MDF7P-26DP-2.54DSA(33) is not specified.
