TE Connectivity 282104-3 Rectangular Connector Receptacle Housing

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 282104-3 is a 2-position rectangular connector receptacle housing from the Superseal series. This component is designed for free-hanging, in-line applications requiring crimp-terminated tab contacts with a 6.00mm pitch. The housing is manufactured from glass-filled polyamide (PA66) and features a locking ramp fastening mechanism. The part is currently active in production with full RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative options when the primary color specification or inventory availability requires component selection from equivalent designs within the same electrical and mechanical parameter set.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 282104-3 rectangular connector receptacle housing is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part 282104-1 shares identical specifications in the following key areas: connector type (receptacle), number of positions (2), pitch (6.00mm), contact type (tab), number of rows (1), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination method (crimp), fastening mechanism (locking ramp), insulation material composition (polyamide PA66 glass-filled), operating temperature range (-40°C to 125°C), and regulatory compliance status (RoHS compliant, REACH unaffected, MSL 1).

The only parameter that differs between the main part and its substitute is the housing color: the 282104-3 features green insulation, while the 282104-1 features black insulation. This color variation does not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or thermal characteristics. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the Superseal series and maintain identical base product number designation (282104), confirming their functional interchangeability within applications where color specification is not a critical design requirement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 282104-3 and 282104-1 are active production components with full regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts is based on color specification requirements and inventory availability. The 282104-3 with green housing and the 282104-1 with black housing are electrically and mechanically equivalent for all applications where housing color is not a functional or design constraint. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance, REACH unaffected status, and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), making them suitable for equivalent deployment in automotive, industrial, and general electronic assembly environments. Component selection should prioritize availability and color specification alignment with system design documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 282104-1 (black) be used as a direct replacement for the 282104-3 (green)?

A: Yes, the 282104-1 is a direct functional equivalent to the 282104-3. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, including connector type, position count, pitch, contact termination, fastening mechanism, insulation material, and operating temperature range. The only difference is housing color. Substitution is valid for applications where color specification is not a critical design requirement.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when substituting between these two part numbers?

A: No compatibility issues exist between the 282104-3 and 282104-1. Both parts feature identical mating interfaces, crimp contact specifications, and mounting configurations. They are fully interchangeable from a mechanical and electrical standpoint.

Q: Do both parts require the same contact specifications?

A: Yes. Both the 282104-3 and 282104-1 are 2-position receptacle housings designed for crimp-terminated tab contacts with 6.00mm pitch. Contact selection and termination procedures are identical for both housings.

Q: What is the significance of the color difference between these parts?

A: The color difference (green versus black) is a cosmetic and identification feature only. It does not affect electrical performance, thermal characteristics, mechanical strength, or regulatory compliance. Color selection is typically driven by system design standards, wiring harness identification schemes, or customer specification requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 282104-3 and 282104-1 are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). They meet equivalent regulatory requirements for deployment in regulated industries and applications.

Q: What is the base product number relationship between these parts?

A: Both the 282104-3 and 282104-1 share the base product number 282104, indicating they are variants within the same product family. The suffix number (-3 or -1) designates the specific color variant within the Superseal series.
