IPD1-15-D-M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IPD1-15-D-M is a 30-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 configuration with two rows and is designed for free hanging in-line mounting applications using crimp contact termination. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, lead time requirements, or specific feature additions while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IPD1-15-D-M is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (30)
• Pitch configuration (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows at 0.100" spacing)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Lock)
• Insulation material (Polyamide PA66, Nylon 6/6)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS3, MSL 1)

The IPD1-15-D-K-M qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical performance across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Additional features present in the substitute part (Pick and Place capability, Polarizing Key) represent functional enhancements that do not compromise compatibility with applications designed for the base IPD1-15-D-M configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the IPD1-15-D-M and IPD1-15-D-K-M maintain Active product status with identical RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements:

The IPD1-15-D-M is suitable for standard applications requiring a 30-position Mini Mate® IPD1 receptacle connector without additional assembly features.

The IPD1-15-D-K-M provides identical core functionality with the addition of Pick and Place capability and a Polarizing Key feature. These enhancements support automated assembly processes and provide mechanical polarization to prevent incorrect mating orientation. The IPD1-15-D-K-M is preferred when manufacturing processes utilize automated component placement or when design requirements include polarization protection.

Both parts are manufactured by Samtec Inc. and carry equivalent regulatory compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can IPD1-15-D-K-M be used as a direct replacement for IPD1-15-D-M?

A: Yes. The IPD1-15-D-K-M is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the IPD1-15-D-M across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and termination method. The additional Pick and Place and Polarizing Key features do not compromise compatibility with applications designed for the base IPD1-15-D-M.

Q: What is the difference between IPD1-15-D-M and IPD1-15-D-K-M?

A: The primary differences are the addition of Pick and Place capability and a Polarizing Key in the IPD1-15-D-K-M. All other electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical, including the 30-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, two-row layout, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the IPD1-15-D-M and IPD1-15-D-K-M are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: What does the Polarizing Key feature in IPD1-15-D-K-M provide?

A: The Polarizing Key is a mechanical feature that prevents incorrect mating orientation between the connector housing and its corresponding plug connector. This feature enhances assembly reliability and reduces the risk of reversed connections in applications where orientation control is critical.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the IPD1-15-D-M and IPD1-15-D-K-M are connector housings only. Crimp contacts must be sourced separately and installed according to Samtec specifications.
