TE Connectivity 1-104482-7 Rectangular Connector Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-104482-7 is a 38-position rectangular connector receptacle housing designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. This component is part of the AMPMODU series and features a female socket contact type with crimp termination in a free-hanging, in-line mounting configuration. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic material and rated for operating temperatures between -65°C and 125°C.

The part maintains active product status with 653 units currently in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options for applications requiring identical or compatible electrical and mechanical specifications, particularly when primary inventory becomes constrained or when alternative manufacturer options are preferred for supply chain optimization.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 1-104482-7 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical specifications:

Primary Equivalence Criteria:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Contact type: Female socket
• Number of positions: 38
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Row spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting type: Free hanging (in-line)
• Contact termination: Crimp
• Color: Black
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical parameters, ensuring direct functional compatibility within applications designed for the 1-104482-7 housing. Variations in insulation material composition, operating temperature ranges, and manufacturer series designation do not preclude substitution when the primary parametric requirements are satisfied.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 3-87456-3 (AMPMODU Mod IV Series)

The 3-87456-3 is a parametric equivalent within the TE Connectivity product family, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 1-104482-7. This part is designated as discontinued at DiGi Electronics, indicating limited future availability through standard distribution channels. Selection of this substitute should be evaluated based on current inventory levels (1049 units available) and long-term supply chain requirements. RoHS compliance is confirmed, though specific operating temperature range data is not provided in the technical specification.

Amphenol ICC 65043-018LF (Mini-PV™, Basics+ Series)

The 65043-018LF represents a cross-manufacturer substitute from Amphenol ICC, meeting all primary parametric requirements for direct functional replacement. This part maintains active product status with 820 units in current inventory, providing stable long-term availability. The operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C is narrower than the primary part specification (-65°C to 125°C), requiring evaluation against application thermal requirements. Insulation material composition differs (polyphenylene, modified versus thermoplastic), though both materials satisfy the MSL 1 classification. REACH compliance status is confirmed as affected, whereas the primary part shows vendor-undefined REACH status. RoHS compliance is verified.

Selection between these substitutes should prioritize application-specific thermal operating requirements and supply chain continuity objectives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3-87456-3 be used as a direct replacement for the 1-104482-7?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical parameters: 38-position receptacle housing, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, female socket contacts, and crimp termination. Both are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the AMPMODU product family. The 3-87456-3 is designated as discontinued at DiGi Electronics, which may affect future availability.

Q: What are the key differences between the 65043-018LF and the 1-104482-7?

A: The 65043-018LF is manufactured by Amphenol ICC rather than TE Connectivity and uses a modified polyphenylene insulation material instead of thermoplastic. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 105°C compared to -65°C to 125°C for the primary part. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. REACH compliance status differs between the two parts.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 65043-018LF for the 1-104482-7?

A: Compatibility is determined by application thermal requirements. If the application operates within the -40°C to 105°C range, the 65043-018LF is fully compatible. Applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 105°C require the primary part or the 3-87456-3. Insulation material differences do not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit within the specified parameters.

Q: Do these substitute parts include contacts?

A: No. All three parts (1-104482-7, 3-87456-3, and 65043-018LF) are housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture bake-out requirements. All three parts carry this classification, meaning they can be stored and handled under standard conditions without special moisture control procedures.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best long-term availability?

A: The 65043-018LF maintains active product status with 820 units in inventory. The 3-87456-3 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, indicating limited future availability. For applications without extreme thermal requirements, the 65043-018LF provides superior supply chain continuity.
