TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 87131-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 87131-2 is a 10-position rectangular connector receptacle housing designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. This component is classified as an active product and serves as a receptacle housing for female socket contacts in dual-row configurations. The connector operates across an industrial temperature range of -65°C to 105°C and is RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required for design flexibility, inventory optimization, or component availability considerations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 87131-2 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (10), 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). All substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in insulation material composition, color, operating temperature upper limits, and manufacturer series do not prevent functional substitution when these core parameters remain constant. All identified substitutes are active products with RoHS compliance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain active product status and full compliance with RoHS regulations. The 87456-6 and 87977-3 are TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod IV series alternatives with identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 87131-2, differing only in insulation material composition. The 0901430010 from Molex (C-Grid III 90143 series) provides equivalent functionality with ROHS3 compliance and a minimum operating temperature of -55°C, which is suitable for applications not requiring the -65°C lower limit. The 65239-005LF from Amphenol ICC (DUBOX/MezzSelect/Basics+ series) offers an extended upper operating temperature of 125°C and is available in blue color, with REACH Affected status noted. Selection between these substitutes depends on specific application requirements regarding temperature range, material composition, color coding, and regulatory compliance documentation needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes these parts functionally equivalent to the 87131-2?

A: All substitute parts share identical core specifications: 10-position receptacle housing with female socket contacts, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, dual-row configuration with 0.100" row spacing, free-hanging in-line mounting, crimp termination, and MSL 1 rating. These parameters define the mechanical and electrical interface compatibility.

Q: Can the 0901430010 be used in applications requiring -65°C operation?

A: The 0901430010 has a minimum operating temperature of -55°C. Applications requiring -65°C operation should use the 87131-2, 87456-6, 87977-3, or 65239-005LF, all of which support the full -65°C lower limit.

Q: What is the significance of the color difference in the 65239-005LF?

A: The 65239-005LF is available in blue color, while the 87131-2 and other TE Connectivity substitutes are black. Color is a visual identification feature and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection should be based on application requirements and assembly documentation.

Q: Are there differences in insulation material between the substitutes?

A: Yes. The 87131-2 uses polyester glass-filled material, 87456-6 uses polyamide nylon glass-filled material, 87977-3 uses thermoplastic, 0901430010 uses polyphenylene oxide (PPO), and 65239-005LF uses thermoplastic glass-filled material. These material variations do not prevent functional substitution but may affect mechanical properties and environmental resistance in specific applications.

Q: What does REACH Affected status mean for the 65239-005LF?

A: REACH Affected indicates that the component is subject to REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations. This status requires compliance documentation and may affect supply chain requirements in certain jurisdictions. The other substitutes are either REACH Unaffected or have undefined REACH status.

Q: Can these parts be intermixed in the same assembly?

A: All substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications, allowing them to be used interchangeably in the same connector system. However, assembly documentation, material specifications, and regulatory compliance requirements should be reviewed to ensure consistency with design intent.

Q: What is the inventory availability of these substitutes?

A: Current inventory levels are: 87131-2 (637 pcs), 87456-6 (846 pcs), 87977-3 (4479 pcs), 0901430010 (11894 pcs), and 65239-005LF (3118 pcs). Inventory status is subject to change and should be verified at time of procurement.
