TE Connectivity 1-282086-5 Rectangular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-282086-5 is a 6-position rectangular receptacle connector from the Mark I series, designed for discrete wire termination using insulation displacement contact (IDC) technology. This connector features a single-row configuration with 0.394" (10.00mm) pitch spacing and tin-plated female blade socket contacts rated for 15-20 AWG wire gauges. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for maintenance, repair, and legacy system support applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-282086-5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female blade socket contacts
• Termination Method: IDC (insulation displacement contact) technology for discrete wire
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 15-20 AWG wire support
• Contact Finish: Tin plating for corrosion resistance
• Series Compatibility: Mark I series components

The identified substitute, TE Connectivity 1-282086-7, shares the same manufacturer, series designation, connector type, contact type, termination method, and contact finish. However, this substitute operates as a single-position connector rather than a six-position configuration, representing a functional redesign within the same product family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1-282086-7 substitute is an active product with ROHS3 compliance certification, providing regulatory advantage over the obsolete 1-282086-5. Both components utilize identical termination technology (IDC), contact materials (tin-plated female blade sockets), and mounting configurations (free-hanging in-line).

The primary design difference is positional count: the 1-282086-5 accommodates six discrete wire connections, while the 1-282086-7 is configured for single-position termination. Selection of the 1-282086-7 requires system-level evaluation to determine whether single-position connectors can satisfy the original six-position requirement through alternative circuit architecture or connector arrangement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-282086-7 directly replace the 1-282086-5 in existing assemblies?

A: Direct replacement is not possible due to positional count difference. The 1-282086-5 provides six connection points, while the 1-282086-7 provides one. System redesign or use of multiple 1-282086-7 units may be required.

Q: Are the IDC termination specifications identical between these connectors?

A: Both connectors use IDC termination technology with tin-plated female blade socket contacts compatible with 15-20 AWG discrete wire. Termination methodology is equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the 1-282086-7 being ROHS3 compliant?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates the substitute meets current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions, making it suitable for new designs and regulated applications where the obsolete 1-282086-5 may not be acceptable.

Q: Does the packaging difference (tray for 1-282086-7) affect electrical performance?

A: Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Tray packaging is a logistics consideration for component handling and storage.

Q: Are there pitch or row spacing compatibility concerns?

A: The 1-282086-5 specifies 0.394" (10.00mm) pitch with single-row configuration. The 1-282086-7 does not specify pitch as a single-position connector. Mechanical compatibility must be evaluated based on specific application requirements.
