TE Connectivity 3-1564542-1 Rectangular Connector Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 3-1564542-1 is a 2-position rectangular connector receptacle housing from the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series, MCP 6.3. This component serves as the housing structure for sealed connector applications requiring crimp termination and slide-on fastening. The part is classified as Active product status with full RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts are identified when electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical across the connector specification, allowing direct functional interchange in applications where housing color differentiation is not a design constraint.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 3-1564542-1 are determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters must remain identical for substitution eligibility:

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 2
• Pitch: 0.354" (9.00mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Slide-On
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Glass Filled
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 140°C
• Features: Sealed
• Series: Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series, MCP 6.3
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute parts 1-1564542-1 and 4-1564542-1 meet all these criteria. Housing color variation (Green, Black, Blue) is the only differentiating parameter and does not affect functional compatibility when color coding is not a circuit design requirement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—3-1564542-1, 1-1564542-1, and 4-1564542-1—are Active product status with full regulatory compliance. The 3-1564542-1 (Green) and 4-1564542-1 (Blue) carry RoHS Compliant certification, while 1-1564542-1 (Black) carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, representing an enhanced compliance level.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

1. Housing Color Requirement: Choose the color variant that matches circuit design specifications or color-coding standards. Green (3-1564542-1), Black (1-1564542-1), or Blue (4-1564542-1).

2. Inventory Availability: 1-1564542-1 (Black) has the highest inventory at 4095 pieces. 4-1564542-1 (Blue) has 1243 pieces. 3-1564542-1 (Green) has 949 pieces.

3. Compliance Level: ROHS3 Compliant (1-1564542-1) provides enhanced regulatory alignment for applications requiring the highest compliance standard.

All parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, operating temperature range, sealing characteristics, and termination methods.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-1564542-1 (Black) be used in place of 3-1564542-1 (Green)?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The only difference is housing color. Substitution is valid when color coding is not a design requirement.

Q: Are the crimp termination specifications identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts use crimp contact termination and are compatible with the same crimp tooling and contact specifications.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: ROHS3 Compliant (1-1564542-1) represents compliance with the latest RoHS 3 directive, which includes additional restricted substances. RoHS Compliant (3-1564542-1 and 4-1564542-1) meets the standard RoHS requirements. Both are compliant; ROHS3 is the newer standard.

Q: Do all three parts have the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. All three parts operate from -40°C to 140°C and are suitable for identical thermal environments.

Q: Are contacts included with these housing parts?

A: No. All three parts are housings only. Contacts must be ordered separately and crimped into the housing.

Q: Can these housings be used in sealed applications?

A: Yes. All three parts feature sealed design, suitable for applications requiring environmental protection against moisture and contaminants.

Q: What is the pitch specification, and why is it important?

A: The pitch is 0.354" (9.00mm), which defines the center-to-center distance between the two contact positions. This specification must match the mating connector and contact spacing in the application.
