IPD1-06-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IPD1-06-S is a 6-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by Samtec Inc. as part of the Mini Mate® IPD1 series. This receptacle connector features a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and is designed for free-hanging in-line applications with crimp contact termination and latch lock fastening. The part is currently active in production with 1142 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or design flexibility within the allowed parameter specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the IPD1-06-S with equivalent parts is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (6)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Single row configuration
• Mounting method (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Lock)
• RoHS compliance status

The substitute part 104257-5 meets all these electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in color, insulation material composition, and operating temperature range do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the IPD1-06-S and 104257-5 are active production parts with full RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability and lead time requirements
• Color specification constraints (white vs. black housing)
• Insulation material compatibility with application environment
• Operating temperature range requirements (104257-5 specifies -65°C ~ 105°C)

Both parts satisfy the core electrical and mechanical substitution criteria for 6-position, 2.54mm pitch rectangular connector housings with crimp termination and latch lock fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 104257-5 be used as a direct replacement for the IPD1-06-S?

A: Yes, the 104257-5 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 6-position receptacle, 0.100" pitch, female socket contacts, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. Both parts are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are housing color (white vs. black), insulation material composition (Polyamide vs. Thermoplastic), and specified operating temperature range. The 104257-5 provides an explicit operating temperature specification of -65°C ~ 105°C.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the IPD1-06-S and 104257-5 are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing.

Q: Does the color difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic and identification feature only and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same PCB or panel mounting applications?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line) and are designed for the same application class.
