IPD1-14-S-R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IPD1-14-S-R is a 14-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 may be required due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements where alternative connector series meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the IPD1-14-S-R are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must match or exceed the main part specifications:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 14
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 1-104257-3 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors meets all these critical parameters. Variations in insulation material (Thermoplastic vs. Polyamide) and housing color (Black vs. White) do not affect functional compatibility when these core electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the IPD1-14-S-R and 1-104257-3 are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory availability and lead time requirements
• Housing color specification (White for IPD1-14-S-R; Black for 1-104257-3)
• Insulation material preference (Polyamide PA66 for IPD1-14-S-R; Thermoplastic for 1-104257-3)
• Supplier relationship and procurement logistics
• Operating temperature range requirements (1-104257-3 specifies -65°C ~ 105°C)

Both parts are functionally equivalent for applications requiring 14-position, 2.54mm pitch receptacle connectors with crimp termination and latch lock fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-104257-3 be used as a direct replacement for IPD1-14-S-R?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, contact type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, termination method, and fastening mechanism. The housing color and insulation material differ but do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch specification in connector substitution?

A: Pitch (0.100" or 2.54mm) defines the center-to-center spacing between contact positions. This parameter must be identical between the main part and substitute to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts.

Q: Does the difference in insulation material affect performance?

A: The insulation material difference (Polyamide PA66 vs. Thermoplastic) does not affect the core electrical or mechanical function of the connector housing. Material selection is typically driven by application-specific environmental or thermal requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: The IPD1-14-S-R does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data. The 1-104257-3 specifies -65°C ~ 105°C. For applications requiring temperature specification, the 1-104257-3 provides explicit thermal performance data.

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

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity classification. These parts have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture control handling or baking procedures prior to assembly.

Q: Can these housings be used without contacts?

A: Both parts are supplied as housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to manufacturer specifications.
