TE Connectivity 4-1564414-1 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 4-1564414-1 is a 12-position rectangular connector plug housing from the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series (MCP 1.5K). This component serves as the housing interface for sealed connector applications requiring panel-mount installation with crimp-terminated contacts. The part is actively manufactured and stocked with 694 units available in original condition.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector specification, allowing for direct functional replacement in applications where the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative color options are required for system integration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector plug housings is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Number of positions (12)
• Contact pitch (0.157" / 4.00mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows at 0.236" / 6.00mm spacing)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Fastening mechanism (Slide-On)
• Insulation material (PBT, Glass Filled)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C to 140°C)
• Sealed feature requirement

Allowable Variation:

• Housing color (Blue or Gray) does not affect electrical or mechanical function and is permitted to vary between equivalent parts

The substitute part 2-1564414-1 maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters, with the only difference being the housing color (Gray versus Blue). Both parts share the same base product number (1564414) and series designation, confirming their functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the primary part 4-1564414-1 and the substitute part 2-1564414-1 are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity and maintain full compliance with RoHS regulations. The 4-1564414-1 carries RoHS3 Compliant status, while the 2-1564414-1 carries RoHS Compliant status, both meeting current environmental standards.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

Availability: The substitute part 2-1564414-1 maintains higher inventory levels (3685 units) compared to the primary part 4-1564414-1 (694 units), making it suitable for applications where supply continuity is a priority.

Color Specification: If the application design specifies Blue housing, the primary part 4-1564414-1 is the correct selection. If Gray housing is acceptable or specified, the substitute part 2-1564414-1 is functionally equivalent.

Compliance Requirements: Both parts meet export control classifications (EAR99) and maintain unlimited moisture sensitivity levels, suitable for sealed connector applications across the full operating temperature range of -40°C to 140°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2-1564414-1 (Gray) be used as a direct replacement for the 4-1564414-1 (Blue)?

A: Yes, the 2-1564414-1 is a direct functional equivalent. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, contact termination, and operating temperature range. The only difference is housing color. Substitution is valid when color specification does not impose a design constraint.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for these parts to be considered substitutes?

A: The following parameters must be identical: connector type (Plug), number of positions (12), pitch (4.00mm), row count and spacing, mounting type (Panel Mount), contact termination (Crimp), fastening type (Slide-On), insulation material (PBT Glass Filled), operating temperature range (-40°C to 140°C), and sealed feature. Housing color is the only allowable variation.

Q: Are contacts included with either part?

A: No. Both the 4-1564414-1 and 2-1564414-1 are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately as compatible crimp-terminated tab contacts for the MCP 1.5K series.

Q: Do both parts meet current environmental compliance standards?

A: Yes. The 4-1564414-1 is RoHS3 Compliant, and the 2-1564414-1 is RoHS Compliant. Both parts meet current environmental regulations and carry EAR99 export classification. REACH status is listed as Vendor Undefined for both parts.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connector housings?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life without special moisture control requirements during storage and handling.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in sealed connector applications?

A: Yes. Both parts feature sealed construction and maintain identical operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 140°C), making them suitable for sealed connector applications. The sealed feature is maintained across both part numbers.

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

A: The base product number is 1564414. Both the 4-1564414-1 and 2-1564414-1 derive from this base number, with the prefix indicating color variant (4 for Blue, 2 for Gray).
