TE Connectivity 965082-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 965082-1 is a 4-position rectangular connector receptacle housing with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This component features crimp-type female socket contacts and is constructed from glass-filled polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulation material. The part maintains active product status and is RoHS compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required for design flexibility, inventory management, or supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 965082-1 are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. All identified substitutes maintain identical specifications for connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (4), pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), row configuration (2 rows with 0.100" spacing), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), and color (black). All substitute parts operate within the -65°C to 105°C temperature range or higher, ensuring thermal compatibility. Moisture sensitivity level remains constant at MSL 1 across all alternatives. The primary differentiators among substitutes are insulation material composition, manufacturer identity, series designation, and regulatory compliance certifications. These variations do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain active product status and satisfy RoHS compliance requirements. Selection among substitutes should be based on the following criteria derived from provided specifications:

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Series (104482-1, 4-87456-9): These parts maintain manufacturer consistency with the primary part and offer extended operating temperature ranges. Part 104482-1 extends to 125°C and carries ROHS3 certification. Part 4-87456-9 maintains the original temperature range with RoHS compliance and higher inventory availability (1392 units).

Molex C-Grid III 90143 (0901430004): This substitute provides the highest inventory level (6959 units) and ROHS3 compliance. The operating temperature range begins at -55°C, which is 10°C higher than the primary part's minimum. This part is suitable for applications where the lower temperature threshold does not extend below -55°C.

Amphenol ICC (FCI) Mini-PV™ Series (65043-035LF, 68105-001LF): Both parts operate within -40°C to 105°C range, establishing a higher minimum temperature threshold of -40°C. These substitutes are appropriate for applications where the lower operating temperature requirement does not extend below -40°C. Both carry RoHS compliance and maintain adequate inventory levels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 965082-1 be directly replaced with any of the listed substitutes?

A: Yes, all listed substitutes are parametrically equivalent for the core electrical and mechanical specifications: 4-position receptacle housing, 0.100" pitch, 2-row configuration, female socket contacts, crimp termination, and black color. Direct mechanical and electrical interchangeability is established based on these parameters.

Q: What is the primary difference between the main part and its substitutes?

A: The primary differences are insulation material composition, manufacturer identity, series designation, and operating temperature ranges. All substitutes maintain the same connector type, contact configuration, pitch, and mounting characteristics. Insulation material variations (PBT, thermoplastic, polyamide, PPO, or modified polyphenylene) do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified parameter set.

Q: Are there temperature limitations when selecting a substitute?

A: Yes. The main part 965082-1 operates from -65°C to 105°C. Substitutes have varying minimum temperature thresholds: 104482-1 and 4-87456-9 maintain -65°C minimum; 0901430004 has -55°C minimum; 65043-035LF and 68105-001LF have -40°C minimum. Selection should ensure the substitute's operating range encompasses the application's temperature requirements.

Q: Do all substitutes carry the same regulatory compliance?

A: All substitutes are RoHS compliant. Specific certifications vary: 965082-1, 4-87456-9, 65043-035LF, and 68105-001LF carry RoHS compliance; 104482-1 and 0901430004 carry ROHS3 compliance. ROHS3 represents an updated compliance standard and is acceptable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: The Molex 0901430004 provides the highest inventory level at 6959 units. The TE Connectivity 104482-1 offers 4666 units. Both represent substantial availability compared to the primary part's 711 units.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All parts in this reference, including the main part and all substitutes, are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately.

Q: Can substitutes be mixed within a single assembly?

A: All substitutes maintain identical mechanical and electrical parameters for the connector housing interface. However, assembly design should specify a single part number to ensure consistency in insulation material properties and thermal characteristics throughout the application.
