Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MDF7P-3P-2.54DSA(01) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (3)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Current rating (3A minimum)
• Voltage rating (250V minimum)
• Operating temperature range (-35°C to 85°C)
• Material compliance (RoHS Compliant, UL94 V-0)

The substitute part MDF7P-3P-2.54DSA(96) maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct functional equivalence. Both components belong to the same MDF7 series from Hirose Electric Co Ltd and share identical contact configurations, pitch spacing, and electrical ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MDF7P-3P-2.54DSA(96) is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete MDF7P-3P-2.54DSA(01). Both components are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the same MDF7 series and maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and material certifications.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: the (01) variant is obsolete while the (96) variant is active. The (96) variant is packaged in bag format and is currently available in inventory, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and production continuity.

Both components satisfy RoHS compliance requirements and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The electrical ratings of 3A at 250V and operating temperature range of -35°C to 85°C are identical across both variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MDF7P-3P-2.54DSA(96) be used as a direct replacement for MDF7P-3P-2.54DSA(01)?

A: Yes. Both components share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, electrical ratings, and mechanical dimensions. The (96) variant is the active production equivalent of the obsolete (01) variant.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), number of positions (3), pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), mounting type (Through Hole), current rating (3A), voltage rating (250V), operating temperature range (-35°C to 85°C), and material certifications (RoHS Compliant, UL94 V-0).

Q: Are there differences in packaging between the two variants?

A: The MDF7P-3P-2.54DSA(01) is supplied without specified packaging, while the MDF7P-3P-2.54DSA(96) is packaged in bag format. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both variants meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both components are RoHS Compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Both have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What is the current availability status of these parts?

A: The MDF7P-3P-2.54DSA(01) is obsolete with 1160 pieces in stock. The MDF7P-3P-2.54DSA(96) is active with 653 pieces in stock.
