Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 1586586-2 is based on strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters within the VAL-U-LOK series. The substitute part 1586037-2 maintains compatibility through the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Current Rating: 9A (identical)
• Voltage Rating: 600VAC (identical)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C (identical)
• Contact Material: Brass Alloy with Tin finish (identical)
• Termination Method: Solder (identical)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Connector Type: Header (identical)
• Contact Type: Male Pin (identical)
• Number of Positions: 2 (identical)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (identical)
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall (identical)
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon (identical)
• Contact Length - Post: 0.138" (3.50mm) (identical)

Regulatory Compliance:

• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-2 (identical)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)
• RoHS Status: Both compliant

Distinguishing Differences:

• Number of Rows: 1 row (substitute) versus 2 rows (main part)
• Row Spacing - Mating: Not applicable for single-row configuration
• Insulation Height: 0.504" (12.80mm) (substitute) versus 0.555" (14.10mm) (main part)
• Fastening Type: Locking Ramp (substitute) versus Latch Holder (main part)
• Contact Finish Thickness: Varies between parts
• Product Status: Active (substitute) versus Obsolete (main part)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1586037-2 serves as the active equivalent for the obsolete 1586586-2 within the VAL-U-LOK rectangular connector series. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (9A current, 600VAC voltage) and operate across the same temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C). Both parts comply with UL94 V-2 flammability standards and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity specifications.

The primary distinction between these parts is the row configuration: the main part features 2 rows with 0.165" (4.20mm) row spacing, while the substitute features a single-row layout. This structural difference results in a reduced insulation height of 0.504" (12.80mm) for the substitute compared to 0.555" (14.10mm) for the main part. Additionally, the fastening mechanism differs, with the substitute employing a Locking Ramp versus the Latch Holder of the original part.

The 1586037-2 is currently in active production status with 2300 units in stock, ensuring availability for new designs and field replacements. Both parts utilize identical contact materials (Brass Alloy), finishes (Tin), and termination methods (Solder), supporting functional interchangeability in applications where the single-row configuration and reduced height are compatible with the printed circuit board layout.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1586037-2 directly replace the 1586586-2 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement depends on the printed circuit board layout. The 1586037-2 features a single-row configuration with reduced insulation height (0.504" versus 0.555"), whereas the 1586586-2 uses a 2-row layout with 0.165" row spacing. PCB footprints designed for the 2-row configuration will not accommodate the single-row substitute without layout modification.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts carry identical current ratings (9A), voltage ratings (600VAC), operating temperature ranges (-40°C ~ 105°C), contact materials (Brass Alloy), and contact finishes (Tin). Electrical performance in applications is equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the different fastening types?

A: The 1586586-2 uses a Latch Holder fastening mechanism, while the 1586037-2 uses a Locking Ramp. These represent different mechanical retention methods for the connector assembly. The choice between them depends on the mating connector design and the specific application requirements for connector retention and removal force.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1586586-2 is ROHS3 Compliant, and the 1586037-2 is RoHS Compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the availability status of these parts?

A: The 1586586-2 is obsolete with 976 units in stock. The 1586037-2 is active in production with 2300 units in stock, providing superior long-term availability for new designs and ongoing supply requirements.

Q: Do the contact finish thicknesses differ between these parts?

A: Yes. The 1586586-2 specifies 39.4µin (1.00µm) contact finish thickness for both mating and post contacts. The 1586037-2 specifies 80.0µin (2.03µm) for both mating and post contacts. This difference reflects manufacturing variations but does not affect electrical performance within the specified operating parameters.

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: Both parts are designated for General Purpose, Industrial, and Lighting applications. The identical operating temperature range, voltage rating, and current rating support deployment across these application categories.

Q: Is the packaging different between these parts?

A: The 1586586-2 packaging is not specified in the available data. The 1586037-2 is supplied in Bulk packaging, which is standard for production quantities.
