TE Connectivity 281804-1 Rectangular Connector Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 281804-1 is a 4-position rectangular connector receptacle housing with 5.00mm pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This component is classified as a Junior Timer series receptacle housing featuring splash-proof construction and crimp-type contact termination. The part maintains Active product status with 884 units currently in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent rectangular connector housings share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, enabling direct functional replacement in applications where the original part number becomes unavailable or inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute part identification for rectangular connector housings is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (4)
• Pitch specification (0.197" / 5.00mm)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Number of rows (1)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Insulation material (Polyamide PA66, Nylon 6/6)
• Color (Black)
• Features (Splash-Proof)

Compliance Equivalence Criteria:

• RoHS3 Compliance status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1)

The substitute part 282192-1 maintains full equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in operating temperature range and series designation do not affect functional interchangeability for housing applications where contacts are specified separately.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (281804-1): The TE Connectivity 281804-1 is suitable for applications requiring a 4-position rectangular connector receptacle housing with standard operating temperature range of -30°C to 105°C. This part maintains Active product status with established supply availability (884 units in stock) and full ROHS3 compliance certification.

Substitute Part Selection (282192-1): The 282192-1 provides functional equivalence across all electrical and mechanical specifications. The extended operating temperature range (-30°C to 125°C) accommodates applications requiring higher thermal performance. This part also maintains Active product status with higher inventory availability (1027 units in stock) and identical ROHS3 compliance. Selection of the substitute part is appropriate when the extended temperature capability aligns with application requirements or when primary part availability is constrained.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage environments. Both parts carry EAR99 export classification and identical HTSUS commodity codes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 282192-1 directly replace 281804-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 282192-1 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and insulation material. Direct substitution is functionally equivalent for housing applications.

Q: What is the significance of the different operating temperature ranges?

A: The 281804-1 operates from -30°C to 105°C, while the 282192-1 extends to 125°C. For applications operating within the -30°C to 105°C range, both parts perform identically. The 282192-1 provides additional thermal margin for higher-temperature environments.

Q: Are contacts included with these housing parts?

A: No. Both the 281804-1 and 282192-1 are housing components only. Contacts must be specified and procured separately according to application requirements.

Q: Do these parts require different assembly or termination procedures?

A: No. Both parts utilize identical crimp-type contact termination and free-hanging in-line mounting. Assembly procedures and tooling requirements are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the Junior Timer and Junior Power Timer series designations?

A: Series designation reflects product line categorization within TE Connectivity's connector portfolio. Both series utilize identical housing specifications for 4-position 5.00mm pitch receptacle applications. Series designation does not affect functional interchangeability.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 rating, and identical export classifications (EAR99). No compliance or certification differences exist that would affect substitution decisions.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these parts?

A: The 281804-1 has 884 units in stock, while the 282192-1 has 1027 units available. Both maintain Active product status with established supply channels through TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.
