TE Connectivity 2-1586862-2 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 2-1586862-2 is a 22-position rectangular connector plug housing from the VAL-U-LOK series. This component serves as the housing structure for male pin contacts in applications requiring free-hanging, in-line connector assemblies. The part is manufactured from polyamide (nylon) material and features a latch lock fastening mechanism with 0.165" (4.20mm) pitch configuration across two rows.

The 2-1586862-2 maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. 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 series.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution within the VAL-U-LOK rectangular connector series is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitute identified for the 2-1586862-2 is the 2-1586017-2, which maintains identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

Substitution-Determining Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (22)
• Pitch configuration (0.165" / 4.20mm)
• Row count and spacing (2 rows, 0.165" spacing)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Lock)
• Insulation material (Polyamide/Nylon)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH unaffected)

The only variance between the main part and substitute is the housing color (White versus Natural), which does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and belong to the same VAL-U-LOK series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 2-1586862-2 and 2-1586017-2 are Active status products manufactured by TE Connectivity and fully compliant with RoHS3 requirements. Both parts carry REACH unaffected designation and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence.

Selection between these parts is based on housing color requirements and inventory availability. The 2-1586862-2 provides White housing, while the 2-1586017-2 offers Natural housing. Both maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and environmental operating specifications across the full -40°C to 105°C temperature range.

Component selection should prioritize availability and application-specific color requirements. Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in VAL-U-LOK connector assemblies requiring 22-position, 4.20mm pitch plug housings with crimp termination and latch lock fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2-1586017-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 2-1586862-2?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all functional parameters. The only difference is housing color (Natural versus White). Direct substitution is valid for applications where color is not a design constraint.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues between these two connector housings?

A: No. Both housings accept identical male pin contacts through crimp termination and feature the same latch lock fastening mechanism. Mating with corresponding receptacle housings is identical for both parts.

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

A: Housing color is a cosmetic and identification feature only. It does not affect electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, temperature performance, or any functional characteristic of the connector assembly.

Q: Do both parts require the same contact specifications?

A: Yes. Both the 2-1586862-2 and 2-1586017-2 are designed for 22 male pin contacts with 0.165" (4.20mm) pitch configuration. Contact specifications are identical for both housings.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 2-1586862-2 and 2-1586017-2 carry full RoHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected status, confirming regulatory equivalence for all markets.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both parts operate across the identical range of -40°C to 105°C. Polyamide (nylon) insulation material provides consistent thermal performance for both housings.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the 2-1586862-2 and 2-1586017-2 are supplied as housings only. Male pin contacts must be sourced separately and installed through crimp termination.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture precautions are required during storage, handling, or installation.
