TE Connectivity 968265-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 968265-1 is a 32-position rectangular connector receptacle housing with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This component belongs to the Micro Quadlok series and features crimp-style female socket contacts. The part is currently active in production with 2271 pieces available in inventory. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across alternative manufacturers and connector series, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part becomes unavailable or when design requirements necessitate alternative material or thermal specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 968265-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (32), 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 (1). All identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in insulation material, operating temperature range, color, series designation, and RoHS/REACH compliance status do not preclude substitution when the primary parameters remain constant. The substitute parts listed below satisfy these equivalence criteria and are sourced from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and Amphenol ICC (FCI) manufacturers.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the TE Connectivity 968265-1 based on core connector specifications. Selection among substitutes should be based on the following criteria:

TE Connectivity 1-104482-4 (AMPMODU Series): This substitute offers an extended operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C compared to the main part's -40°C to 85°C specification. The part features thermoplastic insulation material and black color designation. ROHS3 compliance is provided. This option is suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance.

TE Connectivity 1420000-1 (Micro Quadlok Series): This substitute shares the same series designation as the main part and maintains identical insulation material (PBT, glass filled). Operating temperature range is -40°C to 80°C. Natural color is specified. ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status are provided. This option offers series continuity with the main part.

Amphenol ICC 65043-021LF (Mini-PV™, Basics+ Series): This substitute provides an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C with modified polyphenylene insulation material and black color. RoHS compliance is maintained. REACH Affected status is noted. This option extends thermal capability within the lower temperature bound.

Amphenol ICC 65239-016LF (DUBOX™, MezzSelect™, Basics+ Series): This substitute offers the widest operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C with thermoplastic glass-filled insulation material and blue color designation. RoHS compliance is maintained. REACH Affected status is noted. This option provides maximum thermal performance envelope.

All substitute parts are active in production status with confirmed inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for the TE Connectivity 968265-1?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (32), 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 (1). All listed substitute parts maintain these specifications.

Q: Can I use the 65239-016LF (blue color) in place of the 968265-1 (unspecified color)?

A: Yes. Color is not a core electrical or mechanical parameter that affects substitution eligibility. The 65239-016LF maintains all critical connector specifications and is electrically and mechanically equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the operating temperature ranges of these parts?

A: The main part operates from -40°C to 85°C. Substitute parts offer varying ranges: 1-104482-4 and 65239-016LF extend to -65°C to 125°C, 65043-021LF reaches -40°C to 105°C, and 1420000-1 operates -40°C to 80°C. Selection should align with application thermal requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The main part is RoHS Compliant. Substitute parts are either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant, both meeting RoHS requirements. Two substitutes (65043-021LF and 65239-016LF) carry REACH Affected status, while 1420000-1 is REACH Unaffected.

Q: Do these parts include contacts?

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

Q: Can I mix substitute parts from different manufacturers in the same application?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. However, design documentation should reflect the specific part number used to ensure traceability and compliance with procurement requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the insulation materials used?

A: The main part uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) glass filled. Substitutes use thermoplastic, thermoplastic glass filled, or modified polyphenylene materials. These material variations do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for connector housing applications.
