TE Connectivity 928038-1 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 928038-1 is a 28-position rectangular connector plug housing from the RV 100 series, designed for inline applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This connector housing accommodates female socket contacts and utilizes IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with a locking ramp fastening mechanism. The housing is constructed from polybutylene terephthalate (PBTP) material in gray color and operates across a temperature range of -65°C to 105°C.

The 928038-1 maintains active product status and is RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, color specification requirements, or application-specific needs while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 928038-1 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part 928038-2 maintains identical specifications in the following areas:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Number of positions (28)
• Pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows at 0.100" spacing)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (IDC)
• Fastening mechanism (Locking Ramp)
• Insulation material (PBTP)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS, MSL 1)
• Series designation (RV 100)

The only variation between the main part and substitute is the housing color (gray versus black), which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Both parts share the same base product number (928038) and are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 928038-1 and 928038-2 are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain full RoHS compliance with MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts is based on the following criteria:

928038-1 (Gray Housing): Select this part when gray color is specified in the application design or when existing system documentation references gray connector housings. Current inventory: 780 pieces.

928038-2 (Black Housing): Select this part when black color is specified in the application design or when existing system documentation references black connector housings. This part offers higher current inventory availability at 2,076 pieces.

Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable across all functional parameters. The selection between them is determined solely by color specification requirements and inventory availability. No functional performance differences exist between the two variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 928038-1 and 928038-2 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical specifications including connector type, position count, pitch, contact type, termination method, and operating temperature range. They differ only in housing color.

Q: Can I substitute the 928038-2 (black) for the 928038-1 (gray) in an existing assembly?

A: Substitution is permissible from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. The housing color is the only difference. Verify that color specification is not a critical requirement in your application documentation or system design before substitution.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing in a 2-row configuration with 0.100" row spacing. This spacing is consistent across all contact positions.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the 928038-1 and 928038-2 are housings only. Female socket contacts must be sourced separately and installed using the IDC termination method.

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

A: Both parts operate across -65°C to 105°C. This range applies to all electrical and mechanical functions.

Q: Are these connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 928038-1 and 928038-2 are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What mounting configuration do these connectors support?

A: Both parts are configured for free hanging (in-line) mounting applications. They utilize a locking ramp fastening mechanism for secure connection.

Q: What material is used for the connector housing?

A: Both parts use polybutylene terephthalate (PBTP) as the insulation material, providing durability and thermal stability across the operating temperature range.
