TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 87131-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 87131-1 is a 4-position rectangular connector receptacle housing with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line mounting applications. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent and substitute parts for ongoing design and procurement requirements. The connector accommodates crimp-terminated female socket contacts and is supplied without contacts included.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 87131-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (4), pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), number of rows (2), row spacing (0.100"/2.54mm), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Category A: Direct Parametric Equivalents (Black Color) Parts that match all critical parameters and maintain black housing color: TE Connectivity 104482-1, TE Connectivity 4-87456-9, Molex 0022552043, Molex 0901430004, Amphenol ICC (FCI) 65043-035LF, and Amphenol ICC (FCI) 68105-001LF.

Category B: Parametric Equivalent with Color Variation Part that matches all critical parameters except housing color: TE Connectivity 925367-2 (green housing).

All substitute parts maintain compatibility with the original 87131-1 across electrical and mechanical interfaces defined by the core parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support. Selection among equivalent parts should be based on the following criteria:

TE Connectivity 104482-1 is the primary direct replacement within the original manufacturer's product line. This part carries ROHS3 compliance and maintains the AMPMODU series designation, providing continuity with the original design ecosystem.

TE Connectivity 4-87456-9 represents an alternative within the TE Connectivity portfolio, utilizing the AMPMODU Mod IV series with RoHS compliance. This part accommodates applications where the updated series specification is acceptable.

TE Connectivity 925367-2 provides parametric equivalence with green housing color differentiation. This part is suitable for applications where color coding is required for circuit identification or assembly traceability.

Molex 0022552043 and Molex 0901430004 offer cross-manufacturer substitution with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. These parts are suitable for applications requiring multi-source qualification.

Amphenol ICC (FCI) 65043-035LF and Amphenol ICC (FCI) 68105-001LF provide alternative cross-manufacturer options with RoHS compliance and REACH affected status. These parts are suitable for applications where Amphenol ICC qualification is established.

All substitute parts carry MSL 1 rating, matching the original component's unlimited moisture sensitivity classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE Connectivity 104482-1 be used as a direct replacement for 87131-1?

A: Yes. The 104482-1 matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the 87131-1, including connector type, contact type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and termination method. The 104482-1 is active and available, whereas the 87131-1 is obsolete.

Q: What is the difference between TE Connectivity 4-87456-9 and 104482-1?

A: Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 4-87456-9 belongs to the AMPMODU Mod IV series, while the 104482-1 belongs to the original AMPMODU series. Both are active products with RoHS compliance.

Q: Why is TE Connectivity 925367-2 listed as a substitute if it has green housing instead of black?

A: The 925367-2 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for functional substitution. The color difference is a cosmetic variation that does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. This part is suitable for applications where color coding is beneficial or required.

Q: Are Molex and Amphenol ICC parts fully compatible with the original TE Connectivity 87131-1?

A: Yes. All listed Molex and Amphenol ICC parts match the critical parameters that determine functional compatibility: connector type, contact type, position count, pitch, row spacing, mounting type, and termination method. Cross-manufacturer substitution is valid when these parameters align.

Q: What does MSL 1 rating mean for this connector?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited moisture sensitivity level, meaning the component does not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly. This rating applies to all listed substitute parts.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: All substitute parts carry either RoHS or ROHS3 compliance status. The original 87131-1 does not specify RoHS status. Compliance certifications are documented in the product specifications for each substitute part.

Q: Can I mix contacts from different manufacturers with these housings?

A: Contact compatibility is determined by the crimp termination specification and contact geometry. All listed parts accept crimp-terminated female socket contacts with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. Verify contact part numbers against the specific housing series to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between bulk and other packaging options?

A: All substitute parts listed are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Bulk packaging is standard for these connector housings.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: Molex 0901430004 has the highest inventory level at 6,959 pieces. TE Connectivity 104482-1 has 4,666 pieces available. Inventory levels are subject to change and should be verified at time of procurement.
