TE Connectivity 4-1564522-1 Rectangular Connector Plug Housing – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 4-1564522-1 is an 8-position rectangular connector plug housing from the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series (MCP 2.8). This component serves as the housing assembly for sealed connector applications requiring crimp-terminated tab contacts in a 2-row configuration with 0.236" (6.00mm) pitch spacing. The part is actively manufactured and RoHS compliant, with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative color options while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications, enabling design flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 4-1564522-1 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence within the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series (MCP 2.8). All substitute parts maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

• Number of positions: 8
• Pitch and row spacing: 0.236" (6.00mm)
• Contact type and termination: Tab, Crimp
• Fastening mechanism: Slide-On
• Mounting configuration: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Insulation material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Glass Filled
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 140°C
• Sealed feature and MSL rating: Sealed, MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS Compliant

Substitution is permitted only where these parameters remain constant. The primary differentiator among substitute parts is housing color, which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. All substitute parts share the same base product number (1564522) and are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts (4-1564522-1, 2-1564522-1, and 3-1564522-1) are active products manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain full RoHS compliance. The 4-1564522-1 (blue housing) and 2-1564522-1 (gray housing) are both RoHS Compliant. The 3-1564522-1 (green housing) carries RoHS3 Compliant certification, indicating compliance with the most current RoHS directive requirements.

Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements for housing color and regulatory compliance level. All parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series (MCP 2.8) framework. The choice of substitute part does not affect connector performance, contact compatibility, or thermal operating characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2-1564522-1 and 3-1564522-1 be used interchangeably with 4-1564522-1?

A: Yes. All three parts are parametrically equivalent across all electrical and mechanical specifications. The only differences are housing color (blue, gray, and green respectively) and RoHS certification level. Interchangeability is confirmed by identical pitch, position count, row configuration, contact type, termination method, fastening mechanism, insulation material, and operating temperature range.

Q: What is the significance of the color difference between these parts?

A: Housing color is a cosmetic and identification feature that does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Color selection is determined by application requirements, assembly documentation, or system identification standards.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three parts are housings only. Crimp-terminated tab contacts must be sourced separately and inserted into the housing according to TE Connectivity specifications.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and RoHS3 Compliant?

A: RoHS3 Compliant indicates adherence to the most current RoHS directive requirements. Both certifications confirm the absence of restricted substances. Selection between RoHS Compliant and RoHS3 Compliant parts depends on customer or regulatory requirements for the application.

Q: Can these housings accommodate different contact types?

A: No. These housings are designed specifically for tab-type contacts with crimp termination. The housing geometry and contact retention mechanism are fixed for this contact configuration.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these parts?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level, meaning these parts have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures.

Q: Are these parts suitable for sealed applications?

A: Yes. All three parts feature sealed construction, providing environmental protection for the connector interface. This sealed design is integral to the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series (MCP 2.8).
