IPD1-12-S-K-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IPD1-12-S-K-R is a 12-position rectangular connector housing from Samtec Inc.'s Mini Mate® IPD1 series. This receptacle connector features a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, female socket contacts, and a polarizing key for proper mating orientation. The housing is constructed from polyamide (PA66, Nylon 6/6) and utilizes crimp termination with latch lock fastening. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within the same connector series.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IPD1-12-S-K-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (12)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Number of rows (1)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Lock)
• Housing material (Polyamide PA66, Nylon 6/6)
• Polarizing key feature
• Series designation (Mini Mate® IPD1)

The identified substitute part maintains all these parameters identically, ensuring direct functional and mechanical interchangeability without design modification or system re-qualification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the IPD1-12-S-K-R and IPD1-12-S-K-M are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, meeting regulatory and environmental requirements. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability, lead time, or supply chain considerations, as they are functionally equivalent within the Mini Mate® IPD1 series. No design modification or system re-qualification is required when substituting between these parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can IPD1-12-S-K-M be used as a direct replacement for IPD1-12-S-K-R?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in all electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and housing material. Direct substitution is supported without design changes.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching between these part numbers?

A: No. The parts share the same series designation (Mini Mate® IPD1), identical position count (12), pitch specification (2.54mm), and fastening mechanism (latch lock). Mating interfaces and contact arrangements are equivalent.

Q: Do both parts require the same contact pins?

A: Yes. Both housings are designed for the same crimp-terminated female socket contacts within the Mini Mate® IPD1 series. Contact specifications remain unchanged between these part numbers.

Q: What is the significance of the different suffixes in the part numbers?

A: The suffix variations (R vs. M) represent different manufacturing or packaging designations within Samtec's product line. The electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical, making them functionally interchangeable.

Q: Are there any environmental or compliance differences?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status and MSL 1 rating, ensuring equivalent performance in regulated applications and standard storage conditions.
