Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the IPL1-104-03-L-SH-K is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series and Base Product Number: Both parts must belong to the Mini Mate® IPL1 series with base product number IPL1-104
• Connector Configuration: 4-position header with 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting and Orientation: Surface mount, right-angle configuration
• Electrical Ratings: 675VAC / 954VDC voltage rating
• Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C operating temperature
• Contact System: Male pin contacts with gold mating finish and tin post finish
• Insulation Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) with UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level

The substitute part IPL1-104-02-L-SH-K meets all these criteria and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both IPL1-104-03-L-SH-K and IPL1-104-02-L-SH-K are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Inventory Availability: IPL1-104-03-L-SH-K has 1182 pieces in stock; IPL1-104-02-L-SH-K has 916 pieces in stock
• Lead Time Requirements: Both parts are available from current inventory
• Supply Chain Flexibility: Either part provides equivalent functionality for board-to-cable/wire applications requiring 4-position 2.54mm pitch connectors

No technical differentiation exists between these parts. Both maintain identical voltage ratings (675VAC / 954VDC), temperature performance (-55°C ~ 125°C), and compliance certifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can IPL1-104-02-L-SH-K be used as a direct replacement for IPL1-104-03-L-SH-K?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, contact materials, and electrical ratings. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Are there any differences in the connector interface or mating characteristics?

A: No. Both parts feature identical 4-position headers with 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch, shrouded 4-wall design, and locking ramp fastening. Mating connectors and cable assemblies are fully compatible with either part.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance and regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both IPL1-104-03-L-SH-K and IPL1-104-02-L-SH-K are ROHS3 compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating, EAR99 export classification, and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C, suitable for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-voltage applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors are rated for 675VAC and 954VDC, appropriate for moderate to high-voltage board-to-cable/wire interconnections.

Q: What is the difference between the part numbers IPL1-104-03-L-SH-K and IPL1-104-02-L-SH-K?

A: The part numbers differ only in the revision or variant designation (03 versus 02). All electrical, mechanical, and performance specifications are identical. The difference reflects manufacturing or inventory tracking variations within the Mini Mate® IPL1 series.
