IPD1-03-S-P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IPD1-03-S-P is a 3-position rectangular connector receptacle housing from Samtec Inc.'s Mini Mate® IPD1 series. This component is a white polyamide (PA66) housing designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications with crimp contact termination and latch lock fastening. The part is currently active in production status and ROHS3 compliant.

Substitute parts are identified when they maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters while differing only in packaging or inventory availability. This ensures functional interchangeability in circuit designs and assembly processes.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The IPD1-03-S-K is classified as a parametric equivalent to the IPD1-03-S-P based on the following criteria:

Identical Parameters:

• Connector type, contact type, and number of positions (3-position receptacle with female sockets)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting configuration (free hanging, in-line)
• Contact termination method (crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (latch lock)
• Housing color and material (white polyamide PA66)
• Polarizing key feature
• Product status (active)
• RoHS compliance (ROHS3)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

Differing Parameters:

• Packaging format (IPD1-03-S-P supplied in standard packaging; IPD1-03-S-K supplied in bulk packaging)
• Inventory availability (1035 pcs vs. 3555 pcs)
• HTSUS classification (minor tariff code difference)

Both parts share the same base product number (IPD1-03) and manufacturer (Samtec Inc.), confirming functional equivalence for circuit design and assembly applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both IPD1-03-S-P and IPD1-03-S-K are active production parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

IPD1-03-S-P is appropriate when standard packaging requirements are specified or when smaller order quantities are preferred.

IPD1-03-S-K is appropriate for high-volume production runs or when bulk packaging reduces material handling costs. The higher inventory availability (3555 pcs) supports extended lead time requirements.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, confirming suitability for standard storage and handling conditions without moisture sensitivity constraints. No additional testing or verification is required when substituting between these parts in existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can IPD1-03-S-K be used as a direct replacement for IPD1-03-S-P in production assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally identical in all electrical and mechanical parameters. The only difference is packaging format (standard vs. bulk) and inventory quantity. No design changes or re-qualification are required.

Q: What determines compatibility between these substitute parts?

A: Compatibility is determined by matching connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (3), pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), fastening mechanism (latch lock), housing material (polyamide PA66), and color (white). Both parts meet these criteria identically.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between IPD1-03-S-P and IPD1-03-S-K?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance status and MSL 1 rating. No additional certifications or compliance documentation differences exist between these parts.

Q: Does packaging format affect the connector's performance or reliability?

A: No. Packaging format (standard vs. bulk) affects only material handling, storage organization, and order fulfillment logistics. It does not impact electrical performance, mechanical fit, or reliability characteristics of the connector housing itself.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume manufacturing?

A: IPD1-03-S-K in bulk packaging is suitable for high-volume applications due to higher inventory availability (3555 pcs) and reduced per-unit packaging overhead. IPD1-03-S-P remains available for applications with standard packaging requirements.
