TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 282106-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 282106-2 is a 4-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 locking ramp fastening. The housing is constructed from glass-filled polyamide (PA66/Nylon 6/6) and operates across an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. This part is currently active in production with 1571 units in stock. Equivalent substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and design continuity when the primary part number becomes unavailable or when alternative specifications are required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 282106-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

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

Allowable Variation:

• Color: Gray or Black (functional equivalence; no electrical or mechanical impact)

The substitute part 282106-1 meets all mandatory matching parameters and differs only in housing color (Black vs. Gray), making it a direct functional equivalent for applications where color specification is not a design constraint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: 282106-2 (Gray)

The 282106-2 is the specified part number and maintains active production status with 1571 units in current inventory. This part carries ROHS3 compliance certification and is suitable for all applications within the defined operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

Substitute Part: 282106-1 (Black)

The 282106-1 is a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. This part is also in active production with 1705 units in inventory and carries RoHS compliance certification. Selection of 282106-1 is appropriate when:

• Gray housing color is not a design requirement
• Black housing color is acceptable or preferred for application-specific reasons
• Inventory availability of the primary part number is constrained
• Design flexibility permits color variation within the Superseal series

Both parts share identical base product number 282106, confirming their interchangeability within the rectangular connector housing category. Both parts are MSL Level 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity), indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. The 282106-1 is functionally equivalent to 282106-2 across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The only difference is housing color (Black vs. Gray). Substitution is valid provided the application design does not specify gray color as a functional requirement.

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

A: Color is a cosmetic and identification feature only. It does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, contact engagement, temperature rating, or material properties. Both housings are constructed from identical glass-filled polyamide (PA66/Nylon 6/6) material.

Q: Are both parts compatible with the same contact sets and mating connectors?

A: Yes. Both 282106-2 and 282106-1 are 4-position receptacle housings with identical pitch (0.236"/6.00mm), contact type (Tab), and fastening mechanism (Locking Ramp). They accept the same crimp-terminated tab contacts and mate with identical plug connectors from the Superseal series.

Q: Do these parts have different compliance certifications?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 282106-2 carries ROHS3 certification, while 282106-1 carries RoHS certification. Both meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance compliance. Both parts are classified as ECCN EAR99 and share the same HTSUS code (8536.69.8000).

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these connectors?

A: Both parts are MSL Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These connectors do not require special dry-pack storage, desiccant handling, or bake-out procedures prior to assembly.

Q: Are contacts included with these housing parts?

A: No. Both 282106-2 and 282106-1 are housing-only components. Contacts are not included and must be ordered separately. Crimp-terminated tab contacts compatible with the Superseal series must be procured as separate line items.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both parts operate across -40°C to 125°C. This range is suitable for automotive, industrial, and commercial applications requiring extended temperature performance.

Q: Can these parts be used in applications requiring color-coded identification?

A: If color-coded identification is a design requirement, the specific color variant (282106-2 Gray or 282106-1 Black) must be selected accordingly. If color coding is not a functional requirement, either part may be selected based on availability and procurement considerations.
