TE Connectivity 1-215570-4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-215570-4 is a 14-position ribbon cable DIP header connector from the Micro-MaTch series, designed for through-hole, press-fit mounting applications. This connector features IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with 28 AWG stranded or solid wire capability and operates at 0.050" cable pitch with 0.100" board-side pitch spacing. The connector is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required for component procurement, inventory management, or supply chain continuity.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: TE Connectivity 1-215570-4

The 1-215570-4 is the primary part number for new designs and standard procurement. This part maintains active production status with 1841 units in current inventory stock. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating confirm suitability for standard industrial and commercial applications without environmental restrictions.

Substitute Selection: TE Connectivity 8-215570-4

The 8-215570-4 serves as a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications. This part number is available with 2630 units in inventory stock. Selection of this substitute is appropriate when supply constraints affect the primary part number or when inventory availability requires alternative sourcing. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are maintained, with REACH status documented as unaffected, providing additional regulatory clarity for European market applications.

Both part numbers are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the Micro-MaTch series and are suitable for interchangeable use in 14-position ribbon cable DIP header applications requiring through-hole, press-fit mounting with IDC termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 1-215570-4 and 8-215570-4 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors operate at identical electrical specifications: 14-position configuration, 0.050" cable pitch, 0.100" board-side pitch, 28 AWG wire gauge capacity, and IDC termination. They are electrically equivalent for all ribbon cable DIP header applications.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications including 2-row configuration, 0.100" row spacing, through-hole press-fit mounting, and feed-through capability. PCB footprints and mounting hole patterns are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the different part numbers?

A: The part numbers 1-215570-4 and 8-215570-4 represent different manufacturing or distribution designations within TE Connectivity's product line. Both are derived from the same base product number (215570) and maintain identical form, fit, and function specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and EAR99 export classification. The 8-215570-4 provides additional regulatory documentation with REACH status listed as unaffected, while the 1-215570-4 lists REACH status as vendor undefined. Both are suitable for regulated applications.

Q: What packaging format is used for these connectors?

A: Both parts are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes and component handling in manufacturing environments.

Q: Can these connectors accommodate both stranded and solid wire?

A: Yes. Both connectors support 28 AWG wire in either stranded or solid configuration through their IDC termination design, providing flexibility for various ribbon cable constructions.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level, and what does it mean?

A: Both connectors carry an MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity level. This means the components have no moisture-related storage or handling restrictions and can be stored and handled under standard industrial conditions without special precautions.
