TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 282087-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 282087-2 is a 3-position rectangular connector plug housing with a 6.00mm pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This connector operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and utilizes crimp contact termination with latch lock fastening. The housing is constructed from glass-filled polyamide (PA66) and is RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating. This part is currently active in production with 1,130 units in stock. Alternative equivalent and substitute parts are available to address specific application requirements, packaging preferences, or inventory availability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 282087-2 are classified into two categories based on parametric compatibility:

Parametric Equivalent (3-2232875-1): This part maintains full functional equivalence across all critical parameters including connector type (plug), contact type (female socket), number of positions (3), pitch (6.00mm), number of rows (1), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), and fastening type (latch lock). The primary differences are the series designation (Grace Inertia/GIC versus Superseal), housing color (natural versus gray), operating temperature upper limit (105°C versus 125°C), insulation material specification (polyamide/nylon versus PA66 glass-filled), and RoHS certification generation (ROHS3 versus RoHS Compliant). This part is suitable for applications where the lower temperature rating and alternative material specification are acceptable.

Similar Part (SMS3RDH1): This part from Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton differs in connector type (receptacle versus plug) and pitch specification (5.08mm versus 6.00mm). This part is not a direct substitute and is listed for reference only when receptacle housings or alternative pitch requirements are specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Substitution (282087-2 to 3-2232875-1):

The 3-2232875-1 is a parametric equivalent suitable for applications where the operating temperature requirement does not exceed 105°C. Both parts maintain identical connector type (plug), contact type (female socket), position count (3), pitch (6.00mm), row configuration (1), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), and fastening mechanism (latch lock). Both parts are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting regulatory requirements. The 3-2232875-1 offers higher inventory availability (3,579 units versus 1,130 units) and bulk packaging options. Selection of this substitute is appropriate when the reduced upper temperature limit and alternative insulation material specification align with application constraints.

For Alternative Consideration (SMS3RDH1):

The SMS3RDH1 from Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton is not a direct substitute due to fundamental differences in connector type (receptacle versus plug) and pitch specification (5.08mm versus 6.00mm). This part is listed for reference in applications requiring receptacle housings or alternative pitch configurations only.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3-2232875-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 282087-2?

A: The 3-2232875-1 is a parametric equivalent for applications where the maximum operating temperature does not exceed 105°C. All critical functional parameters match: connector type (plug), contact type (female socket), position count (3), pitch (6.00mm), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), and fastening type (latch lock). Both parts are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected. Substitution is valid when the lower temperature rating is acceptable for the application.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 282087-2 and 3-2232875-1?

A: The primary differences are the operating temperature upper limit (125°C for 282087-2 versus 105°C for 3-2232875-1), insulation material specification (PA66 glass-filled for 282087-2 versus polyamide/nylon for 3-2232875-1), series designation (Superseal versus Grace Inertia/GIC), and housing color (gray versus natural). All other functional parameters are identical.

Q: Is the SMS3RDH1 compatible with the 282087-2?

A: The SMS3RDH1 is not a direct substitute. It differs in connector type (receptacle versus plug) and pitch specification (5.08mm versus 6.00mm). This part is listed for reference only when receptacle housings or alternative pitch requirements are specified.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: The 282087-2 is supplied in standard packaging. The 3-2232875-1 is available in bulk packaging. The SMS3RDH1 packaging specification is not provided in the available data.

Q: Are both the 282087-2 and 3-2232875-1 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both parts are RoHS compliant. The 282087-2 carries RoHS Compliant status, while the 3-2232875-1 carries ROHS3 Compliant status. Both meet regulatory requirements and are REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the MSL rating difference between the main part and substitute?

A: The 282087-2 has an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations. The 3-2232875-1 has an MSL rating listed as Not Applicable, indicating different moisture handling requirements. Verify storage and handling conditions based on the specific part selected.

Q: Can contacts be purchased separately for these housings?

A: All three parts are listed as housings without included contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately and selected to match the crimp termination specification and pitch requirements.
