Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MDF7P-6P-2.54DSA(55) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (6)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Current rating (3A minimum)
• Voltage rating (250V minimum)
• Operating temperature range (-35°C ~ 85°C)
• Material compliance (UL94 V-0, RoHS Compliant)

The MDF7P-6P-2.54DSA(95) qualifies as a direct substitute within the MDF7 series, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MDF7P-6P-2.54DSA(95) is the direct substitute for the obsolete MDF7P-6P-2.54DSA(55). Both components maintain identical electrical specifications (3A current rating, 250V voltage rating), mechanical dimensions, and material certifications (UL94 V-0, RoHS Compliant). The primary distinction is product status: the MDF7P-6P-2.54DSA(95) is classified as active with higher inventory availability (1143 Pcs vs 792 Pcs), providing superior long-term supply chain reliability. Both parts are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the MDF7 series and are fully interchangeable for applications requiring 6-position, 2.54mm pitch header connectors with through-hole solder termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the MDF7P-6P-2.54DSA(55) and MDF7P-6P-2.54DSA(95) mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), contact dimensions, insulation height, and mounting type (through-hole). They are fully interchangeable in PCB designs.

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

A: The primary difference is product status. The MDF7P-6P-2.54DSA(55) is obsolete, while the MDF7P-6P-2.54DSA(95) is active. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. The suffix designation (55 vs 95) indicates packaging or production batch variation within the same series.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both components are RoHS Compliant and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability rating. Moisture Sensitivity Level is 1 (Unlimited) for both parts.

Q: What is the current and voltage rating for these connectors?

A: Both connectors are rated for 3A current and 250V voltage. The MDF7P-6P-2.54DSA(95) specifies 250VAC, while the MDF7P-6P-2.54DSA(55) specifies 250V.

Q: Can I use these connectors in high-temperature applications?

A: Both connectors operate within the temperature range of -35°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative connector selection.

Q: What is the contact material and finish?

A: Both connectors feature brass contacts with tin plating on both mating and post surfaces. Contact shape is square, and insulation material is Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT).
