MF13SWPSC-T8334-100M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MF13SWPSC-T8334-100M is a circular connector plug manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, classified as a Position Circular Connector. This component is designated as obsolete, indicating that the original manufacturer has discontinued production and support. Due to its obsolete status, sourcing replacement units from original inventory becomes increasingly difficult. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is essential for maintaining system compatibility, ensuring supply chain continuity, and supporting legacy equipment that incorporates this connector type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of circular connectors is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary criteria for identifying equivalent parts include connector type classification, position count, contact configuration, and environmental ratings. For the MF13SWPSC-T8334-100M, substitutes must satisfy the following requirements:

Key Substitution Parameters:

• Connector type: Position Circular Connector (plug configuration)
• Manufacturer compatibility: Hirose Electric Co Ltd or equivalent circular connector manufacturers
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 or lower (more stringent)
• Export classification: EAR99 or equivalent
• Tariff classification: Circular connector category per HTSUS 8536.69.4020

At this time, no direct substitute parts have been identified from the provided input data. Substitution analysis requires complete electrical specifications (contact count, pin configuration, voltage/current ratings) and mechanical dimensions (connector size, mating interface, shell material) that are not included in the available parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MF13SWPSC-T8334-100M is classified as obsolete. For applications currently utilizing this connector, the following engineering approach applies:

For Continued Support of Existing Systems: Existing inventory of the MF13SWPSC-T8334-100M should be reserved for critical maintenance and repair operations. The part carries MSL 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling.

For New Designs or System Redesigns: New component selection should prioritize active, in-production circular connector solutions from Hirose Electric Co Ltd or equivalent manufacturers that maintain the same electrical and mechanical interface specifications. Complete technical documentation including contact configuration, voltage/current ratings, and dimensional drawings is required to establish valid substitution criteria.

Compliance Considerations: The part is classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4020. Any substitute part must maintain equivalent export and tariff classifications to ensure regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the MF13SWPSC-T8334-100M listed as obsolete? A: Hirose Electric Co Ltd has discontinued production of this connector model. Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer no longer manufactures, stocks, or provides technical support for this part.

Q: What parameters determine if a circular connector can substitute for the MF13SWPSC-T8334-100M? A: Substitution requires matching connector type (Position Circular Connector plug), contact configuration, electrical ratings (voltage/current), mechanical dimensions, and environmental specifications. The MSL 1 rating and EAR99 export classification must be maintained or exceeded in stringency.

Q: Are there current-production alternatives from Hirose Electric Co Ltd? A: Hirose Electric Co Ltd manufactures multiple circular connector series. Identification of direct replacements requires complete technical specifications of the MF13SWPSC-T8334-100M, including contact count, pin assignment, and mating interface details.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for this connector? A: MSL 1 indicates the component has no moisture sensitivity constraints. The connector can be stored and handled under standard environmental conditions without special moisture control measures.

Q: How should existing inventory of this part be managed? A: Reserve existing stock for critical maintenance applications. Implement controlled inventory management to extend availability for legacy system support. For new applications, transition to active production alternatives.

Q: What export restrictions apply to this connector? A: The part is classified as EAR99, which is the most permissive export classification under the Export Administration Regulations. No specific export license is required for most destinations, subject to standard end-use and destination restrictions.
