IPD1-12-S-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IPD1-12-S-R is a 12-position rectangular connector receptacle housing manufactured by Samtec Inc. as part of the Mini Mate® IPD1 series. This connector is designed for applications requiring 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, single-row, free-hanging in-line mounting with crimp termination and latch lock fastening. The part is actively produced and ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and design alternatives where mechanical or electrical compatibility permits.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IPD1-12-S-R is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (12), pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), number of rows (1), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), and fastening type (latch lock). All identified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct functional compatibility in applications designed for the IPD1-12-S-R.

The substitute parts identified are:

• IPD1-12-S-K-M (Samtec Inc., Mini Mate® IPD1 series)
• 1-104257-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, AMPMODU MTE series)

Both parts satisfy the mandatory substitution criteria and are actively produced with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—IPD1-12-S-R, IPD1-12-S-K-M, and 1-104257-1—are actively produced and ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, meeting current regulatory and environmental standards. Selection between these parts should be based on design-specific requirements and application constraints.

The IPD1-12-S-R and IPD1-12-S-K-M are both Samtec Mini Mate® IPD1 series components with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The IPD1-12-S-K-M includes a polarizing key feature, which provides additional mechanical guidance during mating if required by the application design.

The 1-104257-1 from TE Connectivity AMPMODU MTE series maintains all critical substitution parameters. The primary differences are manufacturer identity, series designation, housing color (black versus white), and insulation material composition (thermoplastic versus polyamide). These differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for applications designed to the 0.100" pitch, 12-position receptacle specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

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

A: Yes. Both parts are Samtec Mini Mate® IPD1 series receptacles with identical pitch (0.100"), position count (12), mounting type (free hanging in-line), termination (crimp), and fastening (latch lock). The IPD1-12-S-K-M includes a polarizing key feature not present in the IPD1-12-S-R. This addition does not prevent substitution but may require design consideration if the mating connector lacks a corresponding polarizing slot.

Q: Is the 1-104257-1 compatible with applications designed for IPD1-12-S-R?

A: Yes. The 1-104257-1 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 12 positions, 0.100" pitch, receptacle type, female socket contacts, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. Differences in housing color (black), insulation material (thermoplastic), and manufacturer do not affect functional compatibility. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and MSL 1 rated.

Q: What are the key differences between these substitute parts?

A: The IPD1-12-S-R and IPD1-12-S-K-M differ only in the presence of a polarizing key on the latter. The 1-104257-1 differs in manufacturer (TE Connectivity versus Samtec), series designation (AMPMODU MTE versus Mini Mate® IPD1), housing color (black versus white), and insulation material (thermoplastic versus polyamide PA66). All three parts share identical pitch, position count, connector type, contact type, mounting configuration, termination method, and fastening mechanism.

Q: Are there any operating temperature considerations for substitution?

A: Operating temperature data is not provided for the IPD1-12-S-R or IPD1-12-S-K-M. The 1-104257-1 specifies -65°C to 105°C operating range. For applications with specific temperature requirements, consult detailed datasheets or manufacturer specifications.

Q: Do all three parts require the same contact pins?

A: All three parts are receptacle housings with female socket contacts and crimp termination. Contacts are not included with any of these housings. Ensure that selected contact pins are compatible with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch crimp termination and the specific housing design.
