TE Connectivity 316087-1 Rectangular Connector Receptacle Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 316087-1 is a 3-position rectangular connector receptacle housing designed for the Signal Double Lock series. This component functions as a housing assembly for tab-contact receptacles with a 2.50mm pitch, suitable for free-hanging in-line mounting applications. The part is classified as Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications for direct replacement in applications requiring 3-position receptacle housings with crimp termination and latch holder fastening.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector receptacle housings is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part 5-316087-1 is classified as a parametric equivalent based on identical specifications in the following key parameters:

Connector type (Receptacle)
Number of positions (3)
Pitch specification (0.098" / 2.50mm)
Contact type (Tab)
Mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line)
Contact termination method (Crimp)
Fastening mechanism (Latch Holder)
Insulation material composition (Polyamide PA66, Nylon 6/6)
Operating temperature range (-30°C to 105°C)
Housing color (Natural)
Compliance certifications (RoHS3, MSL Level 1)

Both parts belong to the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Signal Double Lock series and share the same base product number 316087. Substitution is valid only when all parameters listed above are required to match the original application specification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 316087-1 and 5-316087-1 are Active product status components manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 certification. Selection between these parts is based on availability and supply chain requirements rather than technical differentiation, as all electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

The 316087-1 maintains 1313 pieces in current inventory stock. The 5-316087-1 substitute maintains 2536 pieces in current inventory stock, providing increased availability for high-volume procurement requirements.

Both parts are suitable for applications requiring 3-position rectangular connector receptacle housings with 2.50mm pitch, tab contacts, crimp termination, and latch holder fastening within the -30°C to 105°C operating temperature range. Component selection should be based on supply chain logistics, lead time requirements, and inventory allocation policies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5-316087-1 be used as a direct replacement for 316087-1?

A: Yes. The 5-316087-1 is a parametric equivalent with identical specifications across all electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector type, position count, pitch, contact type, termination method, fastening mechanism, insulation material, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching the following parameters: 3-position configuration, 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch, receptacle connector type, tab contact type, crimp termination, latch holder fastening, Polyamide PA66 insulation material, -30°C to 105°C operating temperature range, and RoHS3 compliance status.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging or inventory between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. The primary difference is inventory availability: 316087-1 has 1313 pieces in stock, while 5-316087-1 has 2536 pieces in stock.

Q: Do these housings include contacts?

A: No. Both 316087-1 and 5-316087-1 are housing assemblies only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL Level 1 rating?

A: MSL Level 1 indicates unlimited shelf life with no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These components do not require special moisture control handling or storage conditions.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both 316087-1 and 5-316087-1 carry full RoHS3 compliance certification, meeting all applicable restrictions on hazardous substances.
