TE Connectivity 1456987-3 Rectangular Connector Housing – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1456987-3 is an 8-position rectangular connector receptacle housing with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line mounting applications. This component features a black polyamide (PA66) insulation body with crimp contact termination and latch lock fastening. The part is currently active in production with 1731 pieces in stock inventory.

Substitute parts are necessary when the primary part number becomes unavailable, when alternative material compositions are required for specific environmental conditions, or when design revisions necessitate compatible housing alternatives from different manufacturers while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (1745000-3): The TE Connectivity 1745000-3 is the preferred substitute for the 1456987-3. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 8-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. The 1745000-3 is designated as Micro Quadlok series with specified operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C and maintains RoHS compliance. Inventory availability is higher at 3145 pieces. This part is suitable for direct replacement in active production designs.

Secondary Selection (69153-033LF): The Amphenol ICC 69153-033LF (Mini-PV™ series) meets all mandatory compatibility parameters. This part features polyphenylene modified insulation material and operates across -40°C to 105°C, providing extended temperature capability. RoHS compliance is confirmed with REACH affected status. This option is appropriate when extended temperature performance is required or when supply chain diversification across manufacturers is necessary.

Alternative Selection (9-965382-2): The TE Connectivity 9-965382-2 (Micro Quadlok series) provides the widest operating temperature range (-40°C to 130°C) and highest inventory availability (39023 pieces). The housing color is blue rather than black, and insulation material is polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) glass-filled. This part is suitable for applications requiring extended thermal performance or when color differentiation is beneficial for assembly identification.

Legacy Consideration (1456987-7): The TE Connectivity 1456987-7 is marked as Last Time Buy status with lower inventory (873 pieces). While electrically and mechanically compatible, this part should not be selected for new designs or long-term production commitments due to its discontinued status.

Tertiary Selection (IPD1-04-D): The Samtec IPD1-04-D (Mini Mate® IPD1 series) meets all mandatory compatibility requirements with polyamide insulation and white housing color. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed. This option provides manufacturer diversity and is suitable when Samtec connector ecosystem integration is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1456987-3 be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (1745000-3, 9-965382-2, 1456987-7, 69153-033LF, and IPD1-04-D) meet the mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters: 8-position receptacle configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 2-row layout with 0.100" row spacing, female socket contacts, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. Direct mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed for all five substitutes.

Q: Does housing color affect compatibility?

A: Housing color is a cosmetic and identification parameter only. The 1456987-3 is black, while substitutes include black (1745000-3, 1456987-7, 69153-033LF), blue (9-965382-2), and white (IPD1-04-D) options. Color selection does not impact electrical or mechanical function and may be chosen based on assembly identification requirements or design aesthetics.

Q: What is the significance of different insulation materials?

A: All substitute parts use glass-filled or modified polymer insulation materials (polyamide PA66, polybutylene terephthalate PBT, or polyphenylene). These materials are functionally equivalent for the specified application. Material selection affects operating temperature range and chemical resistance properties. The 9-965382-2 with PBT insulation offers the highest operating temperature range (-40°C to 130°C), while polyamide variants are suitable for standard industrial applications.

Q: Why is the 1456987-7 marked as Last Time Buy?

A: Last Time Buy status indicates that TE Connectivity has discontinued this part number and will no longer manufacture it after existing inventory is depleted. While the part remains electrically and mechanically compatible, it should not be selected for new designs or applications requiring long-term supply continuity. The 1745000-3 is the recommended active production alternative.

Q: Are there compliance differences between substitutes?

A: All parts are RoHS compliant (either RoHS or ROHS3 designation). The 69153-033LF is marked as REACH Affected, while others are REACH Unaffected or Vendor Undefined. For applications subject to REACH regulations, the 1745000-3, 1456987-7, or IPD1-04-D are preferred. For general industrial use, all parts meet current compliance requirements.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: The TE Connectivity 9-965382-2 has the highest inventory level at 39023 pieces. The 1745000-3 offers 3145 pieces, and the IPD1-04-D has 1738 pieces. For applications requiring immediate large-volume procurement, the 9-965382-2 is the optimal choice.

Q: Can substitutes be mixed in the same assembly?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable. Mixed use of different part numbers in the same assembly is permissible from a technical compatibility standpoint. However, design documentation and bill of materials should clearly specify which part number is used in each location for traceability and future service requirements.

Q: What operating temperature range should I select?

A: The main part 1456987-3 does not specify an operating temperature range. If your application requires defined thermal performance, select from substitutes with specified ranges: 1745000-3 (-25°C to 85°C), 9-965382-2 (-40°C to 130°C), or 69153-033LF (-40°C to 105°C). The 9-965382-2 provides the widest thermal envelope for demanding environments.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All parts listed (main and substitutes) are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be procured separately. Ensure that selected crimp contacts are compatible with the 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch specification and female socket configuration.
