SLP-02V Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SLP-02V is a 2-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by JST Sales America Inc., designed for applications requiring a plug-type connector with 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch spacing. This connector operates across a temperature range of -25°C to 90°C and features crimp-type termination with latch lock fastening. The part is actively produced and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for modern electronic assemblies where regulatory compliance is required.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts becomes necessary when managing supply chain continuity, addressing inventory constraints, or accommodating design flexibility across compatible connector families. Substitute parts must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility through matching pitch, position count, termination method, and fastening mechanism.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the SLP-02V is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Pitch (0.156" / 3.96mm): Must match exactly to ensure proper mating with corresponding receptacle housings
• Number of Positions (2): Substitute parts must accommodate the same contact count
• Contact Termination (Crimp): Termination method must remain consistent for assembly compatibility
• Fastening Type (Latch Lock): Mechanical engagement mechanism must be identical
• Insulation Material (Polyamide PA66): Material compatibility ensures thermal and chemical resistance properties
• Mounting Type (Free Hanging In-Line): Physical form factor must support the same installation method

The substitute part 176271-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) satisfies these core compatibility requirements. While the contact type differs (female socket versus male pin), this represents a complementary pairing within the same connector family, as plug and socket housings are designed to mate together. Both parts share identical pitch, position count, termination method, fastening mechanism, and insulation material specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the SLP-02V and 176271-1 maintain active product status and meet current regulatory requirements. The SLP-02V remains the primary specification for applications designed around JST connector architecture. The 176271-1 serves as a functional equivalent when supply availability of the primary part is constrained or when TE Connectivity components are preferred within an assembly.

The 176271-1 provides an extended operating temperature range (-30°C to 105°C versus -25°C to 90°C), which may offer additional thermal margin in applications approaching the upper temperature limits of the SLP-02V specification. Both parts carry identical moisture sensitivity ratings and maintain RoHS compliance status, supporting use in regulated industries and applications requiring environmental compliance documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 176271-1 be used as a direct replacement for SLP-02V?

A: The 176271-1 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the SLP-02V when used in complementary pairing (plug to socket). Both parts share identical pitch (0.156"), position count (2), termination method (crimp), and fastening mechanism (latch lock). Substitution is valid for applications where the connector type pairing is appropriate.

Q: What is the significance of the contact type difference (male pin versus female socket)?

A: Contact type indicates the gender of the connector housing. The SLP-02V plug housing accepts male pin contacts, while the 176271-1 plug housing accepts female socket contacts. These are complementary designs intended to mate with corresponding receptacle housings. Selection depends on the specific circuit board or harness design requirements.

Q: Are there temperature performance differences between these parts?

A: The 176271-1 operates across -30°C to 105°C, providing a wider temperature envelope than the SLP-02V (-25°C to 90°C). For applications operating within the SLP-02V temperature range, both parts perform identically. Applications requiring extended thermal performance should specify the 176271-1.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance standards?

A: Yes. The SLP-02V is RoHS Compliant, and the 176271-1 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current regulatory requirements for restricted substance use. The ROHS3 designation on the 176271-1 reflects the most current compliance standard.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging. The SLP-02V has 925 pieces in current inventory, while the 176271-1 has 4418 pieces available. Bulk packaging is standard for connector housings and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the SLP-02V and 176271-1 are supplied as housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and selected according to the specific gauge and material requirements of the application circuit.
