TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 282106-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 282106-1 is a 4-position rectangular connector receptacle housing designed for the Superseal series. This component functions as a housing unit for tab-contact termination in free-hanging, in-line applications. The part is classified as Active product status and is RoHS Compliant, making it suitable for current production and procurement cycles. Identification of equivalent substitute parts becomes necessary when managing inventory constraints, addressing regional supply variations, or accommodating specific color or compliance requirements within the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 282106-1 are determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is based on the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Number of Positions: 4
• Pitch: 0.236" (6.00mm)
• Contact Type: Tab
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Locking Ramp
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6, Glass Filled
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 125°C
• Series: Superseal
• Base Product Number: 282106

Variable Parameters (Non-Critical for Substitution):

• Color (Black vs. Gray)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS vs. ROHS3)

The 282106-2 meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore classified as a parametric equivalent. The primary distinction is the housing color (Gray versus Black) and compliance designation, which do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 282106-1 and 282106-2 are Active product status components manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the Superseal series. Both parts are RoHS compliant (282106-1 is RoHS Compliant; 282106-2 is ROHS3 Compliant), indicating compliance with current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions. Both parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, requiring no special moisture control during storage or handling.

Selection between these two parts should be based on:

1. Color Requirement: If black housing is specified in the design, use 282106-1. If gray housing is acceptable or specified, use 282106-2.

2. Compliance Designation: Both parts meet RoHS requirements. The 282106-2 carries ROHS3 designation, which may be preferred in applications requiring the most current compliance documentation.

3. Inventory Availability: Current stock levels are 1705 units for 282106-1 and 1571 units for 282106-2, both available in bulk packaging.

4. Supply Chain Continuity: Both parts are Active status, ensuring continued availability for production and procurement cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 282106-2 be used as a direct replacement for 282106-1?

A: Yes. The 282106-2 is a parametric equivalent to the 282106-1. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, including connector type, position count, pitch, contact type, mounting configuration, termination method, fastening type, insulation material, and operating temperature range. The only differences are housing color (Gray vs. Black) and compliance designation (ROHS3 vs. RoHS Compliant).

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

A: The color difference (Black for 282106-1 and Gray for 282106-2) is a cosmetic variation that does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Color selection should be based on design specifications, visual identification requirements, or application-specific preferences.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when substituting between these parts?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both parts are designed for the same Superseal series, share identical pitch (0.236" / 6.00mm), contact configuration, and mounting specifications. They are fully interchangeable from an electrical and mechanical standpoint.

Q: Do these parts require special handling or storage conditions?

A: Both parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard component storage conditions are appropriate for both 282106-1 and 282106-2.

Q: Are contacts included with these housing parts?

A: No. Both the 282106-1 and 282106-2 are housing components only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately as required for your application.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant designations?

A: Both designations indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. ROHS3 represents the most current version of the directive. Both parts meet environmental and hazardous substance restrictions applicable to current manufacturing and procurement standards.

Q: Can these parts be used in applications requiring -40°C to 125°C operation?

A: Yes. Both the 282106-1 and 282106-2 are rated for the full -40°C to 125°C operating temperature range, making them suitable for industrial, automotive, and harsh environment applications within this thermal specification.
