TE Connectivity 1-1586017-8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-1586017-8 is an 18-position rectangular connector housing plug from the VAL-U-LOK series. This connector is designed for free-hanging, in-line applications requiring crimp termination with latch lock fastening. The part is currently active in production with 924 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required but alternative housing colors or inventory availability necessitate component selection from the VAL-U-LOK product family.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector housings within the VAL-U-LOK series is determined by electrical and mechanical compatibility. The following parameters must remain identical for direct substitution:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (18)
• Pitch (0.165" / 4.20mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Row spacing (0.165" / 4.20mm)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening type (Latch Lock)
• Insulation material (Polyamide/Nylon)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C)

The substitute part 1-1586862-8 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The only difference is the housing color (White versus Natural), which does not affect functional compatibility or electrical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 1-1586017-8 and 1-1586862-8 are active production parts from TE Connectivity with full RoHS compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

1-1586017-8 (Natural Housing): Select this part when natural-colored housing is specified in the application design or when existing inventory of natural-colored VAL-U-LOK connectors must be maintained for consistency.

1-1586862-8 (White Housing): Select this part when white-colored housing is required for application-specific reasons, such as visual identification, assembly line color coding, or design specifications. This part has higher current inventory availability (1084 units versus 924 units).

Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical requirements. The choice between them is determined solely by housing color requirements and inventory availability. Both parts carry MSL Level 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-1586862-8 be used as a direct replacement for 1-1586017-8?

A: Yes. The 1-1586862-8 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 1-1586017-8. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch, row spacing, termination method, and operating temperature range. The only difference is housing color (White versus Natural).

Q: What is the significance of the housing color difference?

A: Housing color is a cosmetic and identification feature that does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Selection between natural and white housing is based on application design requirements, assembly procedures, or visual identification needs.

Q: Are both parts compatible with the same contact pins and mating connectors?

A: Yes. Both the 1-1586017-8 and 1-1586862-8 use identical pitch (0.165" / 4.20mm), row spacing, and connector geometry. They accept the same crimp contacts and mate with identical receptacle housings from the VAL-U-LOK series.

Q: What does "Contacts Not Included" mean?

A: Both connector housings are supplied without pre-installed contact pins. Contacts must be selected separately and crimped into the housing according to TE Connectivity specifications for the VAL-U-LOK series.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 1-1586017-8 carries ROHS3 certification, while the 1-1586862-8 carries RoHS certification. Both meet environmental and regulatory requirements for their respective markets. Both parts have MSL Level 1 rating with unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Either part is suitable for new designs. Selection should be based on housing color requirements specified in the application design. Both parts are active production items with stable availability and identical electrical/mechanical performance.
