HRP-12-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HRP-12-S is a 12-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by JST Sales America Inc. It is a receptacle-type housing designed for female socket contacts with a 2.50mm pitch, suitable for free-hanging in-line applications. The part is currently in active production status with 623 units in stock. This connector housing is essential in applications requiring reliable rectangular connector assemblies; substitute parts may be necessary due to supply constraints, lead time requirements, or design flexibility needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the HRP-12-S are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Connector Type & Contact Type: Must be receptacle with female socket contacts
• Number of Positions: Must be 12 positions
• Number of Rows: Must be single row configuration
• Mounting Type: Must be free-hanging in-line
• Contact Termination: Must be crimp-terminated
• Insulation Material: Must be Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6
• RoHS Compliance: Must meet RoHS requirements

The substitute part 1-179228-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) meets these core functional criteria. However, it differs in pitch specification (2.00mm vs. 2.50mm), which represents a design variation within the rectangular connector category. This pitch difference is a critical parameter that must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HRP-12-S and 1-179228-2 are active production parts with full RoHS compliance. The HRP-12-S maintains RoHS Compliant status, while the 1-179228-2 meets the more recent ROHS3 Compliant standard. Both parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

The primary differentiator is pitch specification: the HRP-12-S uses 2.50mm pitch while the 1-179228-2 uses 2.00mm pitch. This difference affects the overall connector footprint and contact spacing. The 1-179228-2 offers an extended operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C) compared to the HRP-12-S (-25°C ~ 85°C), providing broader thermal performance capability.

Selection between these parts must be based on application-specific pitch requirements and thermal operating conditions. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring 12-position rectangular connector housings with crimp termination and free-hanging in-line mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-179228-2 be used as a direct replacement for the HRP-12-S?

A: Both parts share the same connector type, contact type, position count, row configuration, mounting type, and termination method. However, the pitch difference (2.50mm vs. 2.00mm) means they are not mechanically interchangeable. The 1-179228-2 can only be used if the application design accommodates the 2.00mm pitch specification.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch difference?

A: Pitch refers to the center-to-center distance between adjacent contact positions. The HRP-12-S has 2.50mm pitch spacing, while the 1-179228-2 has 2.00mm pitch spacing. This affects the overall connector width and the spacing of mating contacts. Applications must be designed for the specific pitch of the selected housing.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The HRP-12-S carries RoHS Compliant status, while the 1-179228-2 carries ROHS3 Compliant status, which represents a more recent compliance standard. Both parts have MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) rating.

Q: What is the temperature operating range difference?

A: The HRP-12-S operates from -25°C to 85°C, while the 1-179228-2 operates from -30°C to 105°C. If your application requires operation outside the HRP-12-S temperature range, the 1-179228-2 may provide extended thermal capability, provided the pitch specification is compatible.

Q: Do these housings include contacts?

A: No. Both the HRP-12-S and 1-179228-2 are connector housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included with these parts.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The HRP-12-S is supplied in standard packaging, while the 1-179228-2 is supplied in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging typically offers cost advantages for high-volume applications.
