IPD1-06-S-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IPD1-06-S-R 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 actively produced and RoHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required for component procurement, inventory management, or supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the IPD1-06-S-R are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 6 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Free-hanging in-line mounting with crimp termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Latch lock engagement system
• Row Configuration: Single-row layout

The substitute part 104257-5 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) meets all these core parameters, making it electrically and mechanically interchangeable for applications requiring a 6-position 2.54mm pitch receptacle housing with crimp contacts and latch lock fastening.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the IPD1-06-S-R and 104257-5 are active production parts with current RoHS compliance certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Supply Availability: Both parts are in stock. The 104257-5 has 1238 units available versus 1075 units for the IPD1-06-S-R.
• Compliance Requirements: The IPD1-06-S-R carries ROHS3 certification, while the 104257-5 is RoHS compliant. Verify compliance requirements for your specific application.
• Operating Temperature: The 104257-5 specifies an operating temperature range of -65°C ~ 105°C. If operating temperature is a design constraint, this specification should be confirmed for the IPD1-06-S-R before selection.
• Material & Color: The IPD1-06-S-R uses polyamide (PA66) nylon with white housing, while the 104257-5 uses thermoplastic material with black housing. Verify material compatibility and visual identification requirements for your assembly process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 6-position receptacle housings with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, female socket contacts, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. The primary differences are housing color, insulation material, and manufacturer series designation.

Q: What are the key compatibility factors for these substitute parts?

A: Compatibility is determined by connector type (receptacle), contact configuration (female socket), position count (6), pitch (2.54mm), mounting style (free-hanging in-line), termination method (crimp), and fastening mechanism (latch lock). All these parameters are identical between the two parts.

Q: Does the color difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. The color difference (white versus black) is a cosmetic distinction and does not affect electrical performance or mechanical function. Selection should be based on assembly process requirements or visual identification needs.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the IPD1-06-S-R and 104257-5 are connector housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and are not included with these parts.

Q: What is the significance of the different insulation materials?

A: The IPD1-06-S-R uses polyamide (PA66) nylon, while the 104257-5 uses thermoplastic material. Both materials are suitable for standard connector housing applications. Material selection may impact chemical resistance or specific environmental exposure scenarios; verify material compatibility with your application environment.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: The 104257-5 specifies an operating temperature range of -65°C ~ 105°C. The operating temperature specification for the IPD1-06-S-R is not provided in the available data. Confirm temperature requirements with the manufacturer before selecting either part for temperature-critical applications.
