Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of circular connectors is determined by alignment across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type and Form Factor: Position Circular Connector plug configuration
• Manufacturer Compatibility: Hirose Electric Co Ltd product line or equivalent manufacturers
• Electrical and Mechanical Specifications: Pin count, contact arrangement, and mating interface
• Environmental Classification: Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating
• Regulatory Compliance: ECCN and HTSUS classifications for trade and export control

No substitute parts have been identified for the MF13SDPM-Q-2M based on the available data. The absence of substitute part information indicates that equivalent alternatives meeting all specified parameters are not currently documented in the reference database.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MF13SDPM-Q-2M is classified as Obsolete. Current inventory of 1042 pieces is available as new original stock. For applications requiring this connector, the following considerations apply:

Product Status Impact: Obsolete status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production. Existing inventory represents the available supply for this part number.

Compliance and Certifications: The component carries EAR99 export classification and HTSUS code 8536.69.4020, indicating standard commercial circular connector classification with no export restrictions.

Moisture Sensitivity: MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage, handling, or assembly.

Supply Strategy: For new designs or long-term production requirements, evaluation of current-generation Hirose Electric Co Ltd circular connector alternatives or equivalent manufacturers' offerings is necessary. Direct substitution information is not available in the current reference database.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What does the Obsolete product status mean for the MF13SDPM-Q-2M?

A: Obsolete status indicates that Hirose Electric Co Ltd has discontinued manufacturing this connector. No new production is available beyond existing inventory. The 1042 pieces currently in stock represent the remaining supply.

Q: Are there documented substitute parts for the MF13SDPM-Q-2M?

A: No substitute parts are currently documented in the reference database for this connector. Substitution would require matching the Position Circular Connector plug form factor, pin configuration, and mechanical interface specifications.

Q: What parameters determine if a circular connector can substitute for the MF13SDPM-Q-2M?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by connector type (Position Circular Connector plug), manufacturer compatibility, pin count and arrangement, mating interface dimensions, MSL rating (1 or better), and regulatory classification (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4020).

Q: Does the MSL rating of 1 affect substitution compatibility?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) is the least restrictive moisture sensitivity rating. Any substitute part with MSL 1 or equivalent non-sensitive classification would be compatible from a moisture handling perspective.

Q: What should be done if the MF13SDPM-Q-2M inventory is depleted?

A: Contact Hirose Electric Co Ltd directly to identify current-generation Position Circular Connector alternatives, or evaluate equivalent circular connectors from other manufacturers that match the electrical and mechanical specifications of the original design.
