IPBD-12-D Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IPBD-12-D is a 24-position rectangular connector receptacle housing manufactured by Samtec Inc. as part of the Power Mate® IPBD series. This connector features a 0.165" (4.20mm) pitch configuration with dual rows and crimp-type female socket contacts. The housing is designed for free-hanging in-line mounting applications with latch lock fastening. The part is currently active in production and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for modern electronic assemblies where equivalent alternatives may be required due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or design flexibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IPBD-12-D is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be Receptacle
• Contact Type: Must be Female Socket
• Number of Positions: Must be 24
• Pitch: Must be 0.165" (4.20mm)
• Number of Rows: Must be 2
• Row Spacing: Must be 0.165" (4.20mm)
• Mounting Type: Must be Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Must be Crimp
• Fastening Type: Must be Latch Lock

All four substitute parts listed meet these core electrical and mechanical parameters, confirming their functional equivalence to the IPBD-12-D. Variations in color, insulation material composition, operating temperature range, and manufacturer series do not affect interchangeability for applications where these parameters are not design-critical constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the IPBD-12-D based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection among these alternatives should be based on the following factors:

Compliance & Regulatory Status: The IPBD-12-D, 0039012240, 2-1586765-4, and 2-1969597-4 are all ROHS3 compliant. The 2-794954-4 carries RoHS compliance without the ROHS3 designation. All parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Product Availability: Current inventory levels vary across manufacturers. The 0039012240 (Molex) offers the highest stock at 9,838 pieces, followed by 2-1969597-4 (TE) at 4,298 pieces, 2-794954-4 (TE) at 3,083 pieces, and 2-1586765-4 (TE) at 873 pieces. The IPBD-12-D maintains 1,089 pieces in stock.

Operating Temperature Range: The Molex 0039012240 and all TE Connectivity parts specify -40°C to 105°C operating temperature. The IPBD-12-D does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data.

Material Composition: Insulation material varies between PA (polyamide) and PA66 (nylon 6/6) formulations. Both are acceptable for standard applications where material-specific properties are not design-critical.

Color Designation: The 2-1586765-4 is specified as white, while the Molex and other TE parts are natural color. Color selection depends on application requirements and assembly documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the IPBD-12-D be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes. All four substitute parts meet the critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 24-position receptacle housing, 0.165" (4.20mm) pitch, dual-row configuration, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. Direct substitution is supported from an interface and functionality standpoint.

Q: What is the difference between the Molex 0039012240 and the TE Connectivity alternatives?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer series designation (Mini-Fit Jr 5557 for Molex versus VAL-U-LOK for TE), insulation material composition (PA66 for Molex versus PA or PA66 depending on TE part number), and color specification. All parts maintain identical pitch, position count, and fastening characteristics.

Q: Does operating temperature range affect substitution eligibility?

A: Operating temperature range is not a substitution-limiting parameter for the IPBD-12-D. The Molex and TE parts specify -40°C to 105°C operation. If your application requires operation outside this range, verify compatibility with the IPBD-12-D specifications or consult design documentation.

Q: Are there any REACH or ECCN compliance differences between these parts?

A: The IPBD-12-D and 0039012240 are REACH Unaffected. The TE Connectivity parts (2-1586765-4, 2-1969597-4, 2-794954-4) are listed as Vendor Undefined for REACH status. All parts carry ECCN classification EAR99 or equivalent, indicating standard commercial electronic components.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these connectors?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates these connector housings have minimal moisture absorption characteristics and do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures. They can be stored and handled under standard warehouse conditions without desiccant packaging requirements.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same assembly?

A: All four substitute parts are mechanically and electrically compatible with each other due to matching pitch, position count, and fastening specifications. However, assembly documentation and design specifications should be reviewed to confirm no application-specific constraints exist regarding manufacturer or series designation.
