Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 2-1564412-1 are identified through parametric equivalency analysis. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters that must remain identical across all equivalent parts:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 18
• Pitch: 0.157" (4.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing: 0.236" (6.00mm)
• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Tab
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Slide-On
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Glass Filled
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 140°C
• Features: Sealed
• Series: Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series, MCP 1.5K

Variable Parameter Permitted in Substitution:

• Color: Gray (main part) vs. Black (substitute part)

The identified substitute part 1-1564412-1 maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the main part number 2-1564412-1. The only distinction is the housing color designation, which does not affect functional performance, electrical characteristics, or mechanical fit within the connector system.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the main part number 2-1564412-1 and the substitute part number 1-1564412-1 are classified as Active product status from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. Both parts maintain full compliance with RoHS3 standards and carry unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), indicating no special handling requirements during storage or assembly.

The substitute part 1-1564412-1 provides complete functional and mechanical equivalency to the main part. Selection between these two part numbers should be based on color requirements specific to the application or assembly documentation. The Gray housing (2-1564412-1) and Black housing (1-1564412-1) are interchangeable from an electrical and mechanical standpoint, with no performance degradation or compatibility issues resulting from color substitution.

Both parts are supplied as connector housings without integrated contacts. Contact selection and assembly must be performed separately according to the application requirements and the MCP 1.5K series specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 2-1564412-1 and 1-1564412-1 parts electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are 18-position rectangular connector plug housings with identical electrical specifications, including pitch (4.00mm), row configuration (2 rows with 6.00mm spacing), contact type (Tab), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 140°C). The only difference is the housing color.

Q: Can I substitute the Gray housing (2-1564412-1) with the Black housing (1-1564412-1) in my assembly?

A: Yes. The Black housing substitute part 1-1564412-1 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the Gray housing main part 2-1564412-1. Both parts share identical mounting type (Panel Mount), fastening type (Slide-On), and insulation material (PBT, Glass Filled). Color selection should be based on application documentation or visual identification requirements only.

Q: Do these connector housings include contacts?

A: No. Both the main part 2-1564412-1 and substitute part 1-1564412-1 are supplied as housings only. Contacts must be sourced and assembled separately according to the application requirements and the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series, MCP 1.5K specifications.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS3 Compliant and RoHS Compliant designations?

A: Both designations indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. The main part carries RoHS3 certification, while the substitute part carries RoHS certification. Both parts meet the regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions and are suitable for equivalent applications.

Q: Are both parts suitable for sealed applications?

A: Yes. Both the 2-1564412-1 and 1-1564412-1 are designated as Sealed connectors within the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series, MCP 1.5K. Both parts provide environmental protection suitable for sealed connector assemblies.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These parts do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly processes.

Q: Can I use these housings in applications with operating temperatures below -40°C or above 140°C?

A: No. Both the main part and substitute part are rated for operating temperatures between -40°C and 140°C. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative connector housing selections.

Q: Are these parts available in other colors besides Gray and Black?

A: Based on the provided specifications, only Gray (2-1564412-1) and Black (1-1564412-1) color options are documented as equivalent parts within the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series, MCP 1.5K for this 18-position configuration.
