TE Connectivity 3-1564532-1 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 3-1564532-1 is a 15-position rectangular connector plug housing from the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series (MCP 1.5K/2.8). This component serves as the housing assembly for sealed connector applications requiring panel-mount installation with crimp contact termination. The part is classified as Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts become necessary when specific color-coded housing variants are required for circuit identification, inventory management, or application-specific wiring harness assembly protocols. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing only in housing color designation.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector plug housings in the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Number of positions: 15
• 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: Mounting Flange, Sealed
• Series designation: Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series, MCP 1.5K/2.8
• Base product number: 1564532

Variable Parameter (Non-Critical for Substitution):

• Housing color: Green, Gray, or Blue

All substitute parts listed maintain identical mechanical fit, electrical performance, and environmental specifications. Housing color variation does not affect connector functionality, mating compatibility, or performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three connector plug housing variants (3-1564532-1, 2-1564532-1, and 4-1564532-1) are classified as Active products with full compliance to RoHS regulations. The 3-1564532-1 (Green) carries RoHS3 compliance certification, while both substitute parts (2-1564532-1 and 4-1564532-1) carry RoHS compliance certification.

Selection between these parts is determined solely by application requirements for housing color identification. From an engineering standpoint, all three parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series, MCP 1.5K/2.8 platform. No performance degradation or compatibility issues result from substitution based on housing color alone.

Current inventory levels support immediate availability: 3-1564532-1 (Green) has 1019 units in stock, 2-1564532-1 (Gray) has 1076 units in stock, and 4-1564532-1 (Blue) has 1001 units in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the 3-1564532-1 (Green) with the 2-1564532-1 (Gray) or 4-1564532-1 (Blue) in my application?

A: Yes. All three parts are parametrically equivalent across all electrical and mechanical specifications. Housing color is the only differentiating factor. Substitution is valid when color-specific requirements do not apply to your circuit design or assembly protocol.

Q: What determines whether these parts are interchangeable?

A: Interchangeability is based on identical specifications for connector type, position count, row configuration, row spacing, contact type, mounting method, termination style, fastening mechanism, insulation material, operating temperature range, and sealed features. All three parts meet these criteria.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the three variants?

A: The 3-1564532-1 (Green) carries RoHS3 compliance, while 2-1564532-1 (Gray) and 4-1564532-1 (Blue) carry RoHS compliance. All three parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating and are classified as Active products.

Q: Do these connector housings include contacts?

A: No. All three variants are supplied as housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately according to your application requirements.

Q: What is the base product number for these parts?

A: The base product number is 1564532. The prefix digits (3, 2, or 4) designate the housing color variant within the same product family.

Q: Can I use these parts in applications requiring temperatures below -40°C or above 140°C?

A: No. All three variants are rated for -40°C to 140°C operating temperature range. Applications outside this range require alternative connector housing designs.

Q: What is the row spacing specification for these 15-position housings?

A: Row spacing is 0.236 inches (6.00 millimeters) for all three variants. This specification is critical for mating compatibility with corresponding receptacle housings.
