TE Connectivity 1-102241-1 Rectangular Connector Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-102241-1 is a 13-position rectangular connector receptacle housing designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. This component serves as the housing structure for female socket contacts in inline connector assemblies. The part is classified as Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling direct functional replacement in applications where housing color or series variation is acceptable.

Key Parameters

Parameter	Value
Connector Type	Receptacle
Contact Type	Female Socket
Number of Positions	13
Pitch	0.100" (2.54mm)
Number of Rows	1
Mounting Type	Free Hanging (In-Line)
Contact Termination	Crimp
Fastening Type	Locking Ramp
Insulation Material	Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector housings is determined by matching the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (13), pitch specification (0.100"/2.54mm), number of rows (1), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination method (crimp), fastening type (locking ramp), and insulation material composition (polyamide nylon glass filled).

The substitute part 1-1375820-3 satisfies all these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in housing color (black versus white) and connector series designation (AMPMODU Mod IV versus CST-100 II) do not affect functional compatibility when these primary parameters remain constant. Operating temperature range and RoHS compliance status are secondary considerations that may influence selection based on application requirements but do not disqualify substitution.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 1-102241-1 and 1-1375820-3 are Active product status components with full compliance certifications. The main part 1-102241-1 operates across a wider temperature range (-65°C to 105°C) compared to the substitute 1-1375820-3 (-55°C to 105°C). Selection between these parts depends on application temperature requirements. For applications requiring operation below -55°C, the main part 1-102241-1 is required. For applications within the -55°C to 105°C range, either part is functionally equivalent.

The substitute part 1-1375820-3 carries RoHS compliance certification, while the main part carries ROHS3 compliance certification. Both certifications satisfy regulatory requirements for their respective markets. Housing color difference (black versus white) is a cosmetic variation that does not affect electrical or mechanical function.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-1375820-3 be used as a direct replacement for 1-102241-1 in all applications?

A: The substitute part 1-1375820-3 is functionally equivalent for applications operating within the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation below -55°C must use the main part 1-102241-1, which supports -65°C minimum temperature.

Q: Does the housing color difference between black (1-102241-1) and white (1-1375820-3) affect connector performance?

A: Housing color is a cosmetic characteristic that does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or contact function. Color selection is determined by application requirements or assembly identification standards.

Q: Are the contact termination methods identical between these parts?

A: Both parts use crimp contact termination and locking ramp fastening. Contacts are not included with either housing and must be sourced separately.

Q: What is the significance of the different connector series designations (AMPMODU Mod IV versus CST-100 II)?

A: Series designation identifies the connector family and design generation. Despite different series names, both housings meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 13-position, 2.54mm pitch receptacle applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The main part 1-102241-1 is ROHS3 compliant. The substitute part 1-1375820-3 is RoHS compliant. Both satisfy regulatory requirements for their respective markets.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connector housings?

A: Both parts carry MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
