TE Connectivity 4-1564337-1 Rectangular Connector Housing – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 4-1564337-1 is a 16-position receptacle housing for the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series (MCP 1.5K/2.8). This rectangular connector housing is designed for free-hanging, in-line applications requiring sealed, crimp-terminated connections. The part is manufactured from glass-filled polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and features a blue insulation color. As an active product with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, this connector housing serves applications across industrial, automotive, and sealed-environment installations. Equivalent substitute parts exist within the same product family, differing primarily in color specification while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector housings within the TE Connectivity Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (16)
• Number of rows (2)
• Row spacing (0.236" / 6.00mm)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening type (Slide-On)
• Insulation material (PBT, Glass Filled)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C to 140°C)
• Series designation (MCP 1.5K/2.8)
• Sealed feature requirement

The substitute part 1-1564337-1 maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters. The only variation is the insulation color (black versus blue), which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Both parts share the same base product number (1564337) and are manufactured by TE Connectivity divisions (AMP Connectors and Deutsch Connectors respectively). Both are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 4-1564337-1 and 1-1564337-1 are active products with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Selection between these parts should be based on the following engineering criteria:

Availability and Lead Time: The substitute part 1-1564337-1 maintains higher inventory levels (2000 pieces) compared to the main part (1094 pieces), making it suitable for applications where supply chain continuity is critical.

Color Specification Requirements: The main part features blue insulation, while the substitute features black insulation. Color selection should be determined by application-specific requirements, such as visual identification standards, harness organization protocols, or customer specifications. From an electrical and mechanical standpoint, both colors are functionally equivalent.

Manufacturer Division Preference: Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity. The main part is sourced from the AMP Connectors division, while the substitute is sourced from the Deutsch Connectors division. Both divisions maintain equivalent quality and compliance standards.

Compliance and Regulatory: Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.8000) classifications, ensuring regulatory equivalence for export and procurement purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-1564337-1 (black) be used as a direct replacement for the 4-1564337-1 (blue)?

A: Yes. The 1-1564337-1 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only difference is insulation color. Both parts are 16-position receptacle housings with identical row spacing, mounting type, termination method, and operating temperature range. Substitution is valid from a functional standpoint.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when mixing blue and black connector housings in the same assembly?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both housings are part of the same Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series (MCP 1.5K/2.8) and share identical mechanical and electrical parameters. Color is a cosmetic attribute and does not affect mating, sealing, or electrical performance.

Q: Do these connector housings include contacts?

A: No. Both the 4-1564337-1 and 1-1564337-1 are housings only. Contacts are not included and must be ordered separately. Ensure that selected contacts are compatible with the crimp termination method and 16-position, 2-row configuration.

Q: What is the significance of the base product number 1564337?

A: The base product number 1564337 identifies the core connector housing design within the MCP 1.5K/2.8 series. Both the main part and substitute share this base number, indicating they are variants of the same fundamental design. The prefix (4- or 1-) distinguishes the specific manufacturer division and color variant.

Q: Are both parts suitable for sealed applications?

A: Yes. Both the 4-1564337-1 and 1-1564337-1 feature sealed construction, making them suitable for applications requiring environmental protection. The sealed feature is maintained across both color variants.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connector housings?

A: Both parts operate across the range of -40°C to 140°C. This range is suitable for industrial, automotive, and harsh environment applications. The glass-filled PBT insulation material supports this full temperature range.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 4-1564337-1 and 1-1564337-1 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for restricted substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
