IPD1-15-S Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IPD1-15-S is a 15-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 active in production status and ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required for design flexibility, inventory management, or supply chain continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the IPD1-15-S are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

15-position configuration with single-row layout
0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing
Receptacle connector with female socket contacts
Crimp termination method
Latch lock fastening mechanism
Free-hanging in-line mounting orientation
ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

The identified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in color, insulation material composition, and manufacturer series do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified parameter set.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active production status and ROHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating, qualifying them for equivalent use in applications requiring 15-position, 2.54mm pitch receptacle connectors with crimp termination and latch lock fastening.

IPD1-15-S and IPD1-15-S-K are both Samtec Mini Mate® IPD1 series components with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The IPD1-15-S-K includes a polarizing key feature not present in the base IPD1-15-S model.

The 1-104257-4 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors AMPMODU MTE series provides an alternative from a different manufacturer. This part specifies an operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C, whereas the Samtec variants do not provide temperature specifications in the available data. The 1-104257-4 uses thermoplastic insulation material rather than polyamide, and features black housing instead of white.

Selection between these parts should be based on design requirements for polarization features, color specification, temperature rating documentation, and preferred supplier relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can IPD1-15-S be directly replaced with IPD1-15-S-K?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the Mini Mate® IPD1 series. The IPD1-15-S-K includes an additional polarizing key feature. Compatibility depends on whether the polarizing key is required or conflicts with the existing mating connector design.

Q: Is the 1-104257-4 compatible with applications designed for IPD1-15-S?

A: The 1-104257-4 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 15 positions, 0.100" pitch, receptacle configuration, female socket contacts, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. Physical differences include black housing color and thermoplastic insulation material. Mechanical fit and electrical performance are equivalent for standard applications.

Q: What is the significance of the polarizing key in IPD1-15-S-K?

A: The polarizing key in IPD1-15-S-K provides directional keying to prevent incorrect mating orientation. This feature is absent in the base IPD1-15-S model. Selection depends on whether the application requires polarization control.

Q: Are there temperature rating differences between these parts?

A: The 1-104257-4 specifies an operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. The Samtec IPD1-15-S and IPD1-15-S-K do not provide operating temperature specifications in the available technical data. Applications requiring documented temperature performance should reference the 1-104257-4 specification or request additional thermal data from Samtec.

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

A: Yes. All three receptacle housings are designed for crimp-terminated female socket contacts at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. Contact selection and termination procedures remain consistent across all three part numbers.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between these connectors?

A: The IPD1-15-S and IPD1-15-S-K use polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 insulation. The 1-104257-4 uses thermoplastic insulation. Both material types are ROHS3 compliant and MSL 1 rated. Material selection may affect mechanical properties and environmental resistance in specific applications.
