IPD1-13-S-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IPD1-13-S-R is a 13-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, making it suitable for applications requiring standard rectangular connector housings with female socket contacts. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements for alternative color or material specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IPD1-13-S-R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 13 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Free hanging in-line mounting with crimp termination
• Fastening Mechanism: Latch lock fastening
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The substitute part 1-104257-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, AMPMODU MTE series) meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences in housing color (white vs. black) and insulation material composition (Polyamide vs. Thermoplastic) do not affect functional interchangeability when the above parameters are matched.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the IPD1-13-S-R and 1-104257-2 are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings, qualifying them as direct functional equivalents. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability: The 1-104257-2 has higher current inventory (4237 pcs vs. 808 pcs)
• Color Requirements: Choose IPD1-13-S-R for white housing applications; select 1-104257-2 for black housing applications
• Material Specification: If polyamide insulation material is specifically required, use IPD1-13-S-R; if thermoplastic material is acceptable, either part is suitable
• Operating Temperature: The 1-104257-2 provides explicit operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C); verify application requirements against this specification

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-104257-2 be used as a direct replacement for IPD1-13-S-R?

A: Yes, when color and material specifications do not impose constraints. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical parameters: 13-position receptacle housings with female socket contacts, 0.100" pitch, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 ratings.

Q: What is the difference between the white IPD1-13-S-R and black 1-104257-2?

A: The primary differences are housing color (white vs. black) and insulation material composition (Polyamide PA66/Nylon 6/6 vs. Thermoplastic). These differences do not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability. Selection depends on application-specific color coding or material requirements.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the IPD1-13-S-R and 1-104257-2 are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these parts?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level, meaning these parts have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the design does not specify white housing color or polyamide insulation material as mandatory requirements. The mechanical and electrical interfaces are identical, allowing direct substitution in PCB layouts and connector assemblies.
