IPD1-04-D-K-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IPD1-04-D-K-R is an 8-position rectangular connector housing from Samtec Inc.'s Mini Mate® IPD1 series. This receptacle connector features a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch configuration with 2 rows and is designed for free-hanging, in-line mounting applications. The housing is white polyamide (PA66, Nylon 6/6) with a polarizing key and latch lock fastening mechanism. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Finding equivalent or substitute parts is necessary when managing inventory constraints, ensuring supply chain continuity, or matching specific procurement requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IPD1-04-D-K-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (8)
• Pitch configuration (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row count and spacing (2 rows, 0.100" spacing)
• Mounting method (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Contact termination (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Lock)
• Housing material (Polyamide PA66, Nylon 6/6)
• Polarizing key feature
• Series compatibility (Mini Mate® IPD1)

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in part numbering suffix (such as the "-R" designation in IPD1-04-D-K-R) do not affect core electrical or mechanical compatibility when all listed parameters remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the IPD1-04-D-K-R and IPD1-04-D-K are active products from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling. The IPD1-04-D-K maintains higher inventory availability (25,200 pcs) compared to the IPD1-04-D-K-R (716 pcs), making it the preferred selection for applications where supply continuity is a priority. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability and procurement lead time requirements, as all functional and compliance parameters are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can IPD1-04-D-K be used as a direct replacement for IPD1-04-D-K-R?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, fastening mechanism, and material composition. The suffix difference does not affect compatibility.

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for the IPD1-04-D-K-R?

A: A substitute part must match all critical parameters: 8-position receptacle configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 2-row layout with 0.100" row spacing, free-hanging in-line mounting, crimp termination, latch lock fastening, white polyamide housing, polarizing key feature, and Mini Mate® IPD1 series designation.

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

A: No. Both parts carry identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings. No additional testing or validation is required when substituting between these parts.

Q: What is the significance of the part number suffix in IPD1-04-D-K-R?

A: The "-R" suffix does not alter the core electrical or mechanical specifications. Both IPD1-04-D-K-R and IPD1-04-D-K function identically in circuit applications and are mechanically interchangeable.

Q: Should inventory levels influence the selection between these parts?

A: Inventory availability is a valid procurement consideration. The IPD1-04-D-K has significantly higher stock (25,200 pcs) compared to the IPD1-04-D-K-R (716 pcs), making it suitable for high-volume applications or when rapid fulfillment is required.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the IPD1-04-D-K-R and IPD1-04-D-K are housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and crimped into the housing according to Samtec specifications.
