TE Connectivity 4-1564542-1 Rectangular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 4-1564542-1 is a 2-position receptacle housing for the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series, MCP 6.3. This rectangular connector housing is designed for free-hanging, in-line applications requiring sealed, crimp-terminated connections with a 0.354" (9.00mm) pitch. The part is classified as Active and carries full RoHS compliance certification. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across alternative connector housings within the same series, allowing for design flexibility and supply chain optimization.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 4-1564542-1 are determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters must remain identical for a part to qualify as a direct substitute:

• 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
• Features: Sealed
• Insulation Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Glass Filled
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 140°C
• Series: Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series, MCP 6.3

The identified substitute parts differ only in housing color, which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. All substitute parts maintain Active product status and full compliance with applicable regulations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three connector housings—4-1564542-1 (Blue), 1-1564542-1 (Black), and 2-1564542-1 (Gray)—are functionally equivalent and maintain Active product status. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

Compliance Considerations: The 4-1564542-1 carries RoHS Compliant certification, while both 1-1564542-1 and 2-1564542-1 carry ROHS3 Compliant certification. Both certifications satisfy RoHS requirements; ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard.

Supply Chain Availability: The 1-1564542-1 (Black) offers the highest inventory level at 4095 pieces, followed by 2-1564542-1 (Gray) at 1384 pieces, and 4-1564542-1 (Blue) at 1243 pieces. Selection based on availability supports production continuity.

Color Specification: Housing color is the only functional difference among these parts. Color selection should be driven by application requirements, assembly documentation, or system integration specifications.

Regulatory Alignment: All parts carry EAR99 export classification and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, indicating equivalent environmental handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-1564542-1 (Black) be used as a direct replacement for 4-1564542-1 (Blue)?

A: Yes. Both parts are 2-position receptacle housings within the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series, MCP 6.3, with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only difference is housing color. Substitution is valid when color is not a functional requirement.

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

A: Color serves as a visual identifier and does not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or thermal characteristics. Color selection is determined by application documentation, assembly standards, or system integration requirements.

Q: Are the RoHS compliance differences between these parts significant?

A: Both RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant certifications satisfy RoHS regulatory requirements. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard. Both certifications are acceptable for equivalent substitution purposes.

Q: Do these connector housings include contacts?

A: No. All three parts are housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately. Ensure that selected contacts are compatible with the 0.354" (9.00mm) pitch and crimp termination specifications.

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

A: All three parts operate across the range of -40°C to 140°C. This range is identical across all substitute parts and is determined by the Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) glass-filled insulation material.

Q: Can these parts be used in sealed applications?

A: Yes. All three connector housings feature sealed construction, providing protection against moisture and environmental contamination. This sealed design is consistent across all substitute parts.

Q: What mounting configuration do these connector housings support?

A: All three parts are configured for free-hanging, in-line mounting with slide-on fastening. This configuration is identical across all substitute parts and supports direct mechanical interchangeability.
