IPD1-11-S-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IPD1-11-S-R is an 11-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by Samtec Inc. as part of the Mini Mate® IPD1 series. This receptacle housing accepts female socket contacts and is designed for free-hanging in-line applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. The connector operates with crimp termination and latch lock fastening, making it suitable for applications requiring secure, repeatable connections in compact form factors.

As an active product with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), the IPD1-11-S-R remains in production. Equivalent substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, regional availability, or design standardization across manufacturing platforms.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IPD1-11-S-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Must be receptacle housing with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: Exactly 11 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) spacing
• Mechanical Interface: Single row, free-hanging in-line mounting with crimp termination and latch lock fastening
• Compliance & Environmental: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating required for equivalent substitution

The substitute part 1-104257-0 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, AMPMODU MTE series) meets all critical substitution criteria. While the housing color differs (white vs. black) and the insulation material composition varies (Polyamide PA66/Nylon 6/6 vs. Thermoplastic), these are non-functional variations that do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the IPD1-11-S-R and 1-104257-0 are active products with ROHS3 compliance and identical MSL ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Primary Criteria: Inventory availability and lead time requirements. The 1-104257-0 currently maintains higher stock levels (3648 pcs vs. 636 pcs).

Secondary Criteria: Operating temperature range. The 1-104257-0 specifies -65°C ~ 105°C operating temperature, while the IPD1-11-S-R does not provide this specification in available documentation. For applications requiring defined temperature performance, the TE Connectivity part provides explicit thermal operating limits.

Tertiary Criteria: Housing color and insulation material composition. These variations are cosmetic and material-level differences that do not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit in standard applications. Selection may be driven by design documentation requirements or visual identification standards.

Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications designed for 11-position, 2.54mm pitch receptacle housings with crimp termination and latch lock fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-104257-0 be used as a direct replacement for the IPD1-11-S-R?

A: Yes. Both parts are 11-position receptacle housings with identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), mounting type (free-hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), and fastening mechanism (latch lock). They are mechanically and electrically compatible.

Q: Does the color difference (white vs. black) affect compatibility?

A: No. Housing color is a cosmetic variation that does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit. Selection based on color should be driven by design documentation or visual identification requirements only.

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

A: The IPD1-11-S-R uses Polyamide (PA66/Nylon 6/6) while the 1-104257-0 uses Thermoplastic. Both materials provide adequate insulation for standard applications. Material selection may be relevant for specific environmental conditions (chemical exposure, UV resistance) not specified in this comparison. Consult application requirements if material compatibility is critical.

Q: Why does only the 1-104257-0 specify an operating temperature range?

A: The IPD1-11-S-R documentation does not include an explicit operating temperature specification. The 1-104257-0 specifies -65°C ~ 105°C. For applications with defined thermal requirements, the TE Connectivity part provides documented performance limits. Contact Samtec directly for IPD1-11-S-R thermal specifications if required.

Q: Are the contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the IPD1-11-S-R and 1-104257-0 are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included in the package.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level. These parts have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture control during storage or handling, making them suitable for standard warehouse and manufacturing environments.
