Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MDF7U-5P-2.54DSA(02) is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Series: MDF7 family designation
• Number of Positions: 5 positions
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Contact Type: Male pin configuration
• Mounting Method: Through-hole solder termination
• Electrical Ratings: 3A current capacity and 250V voltage rating
• Material Compliance: RoHS compliant status and UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Operating Temperature Range: -35°C ~ 85°C

The substitute part MDF7U-5P-2.54DSA(87) shares the same series designation, position count, pitch, contact type, mounting method, and electrical specifications. Both components are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd and meet identical compliance requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MDF7U-5P-2.54DSA(87) is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete MDF7U-5P-2.54DSA(02). Both components are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the same MDF7 series and share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions for critical mating interfaces, and compliance certifications.

The primary distinction is product status: the MDF7U-5P-2.54DSA(02) is obsolete, while the MDF7U-5P-2.54DSA(87) maintains active production status. The substitute part is RoHS compliant and carries UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting the same regulatory requirements as the original component.

Selection of the MDF7U-5P-2.54DSA(87) is appropriate for applications requiring the specified electrical ratings (3A at 250V), operating temperature range (-35°C ~ 85°C), and through-hole solder mounting configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MDF7U-5P-2.54DSA(87) be used as a direct replacement for MDF7U-5P-2.54DSA(02)?
