TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 4-1565081-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 4-1565081-2 is a 2-position rectangular connector housing plug designed for crimp termination applications. This connector belongs to the Grace Inertia (GIC) series and features a 0.138" (3.50mm) pitch configuration with free-hanging, in-line mounting capability. The part is classified as Active product status with full inventory availability. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across alternative configurations, particularly when color or material specifications differ while core functional parameters remain constant.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector housings within the Grace Inertia (GIC) series is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Core Electrical and Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 2
• Pitch: 0.138" (3.50mm)
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Holder
• Operating Temperature Range: -30°C ~ 105°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Series: Grace Inertia, GIC

Variable Parameters (Allowed to Differ):

• Color: Brown vs. Natural
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6 vs. unspecified

The substitute part 1565081-1 maintains complete functional and mechanical compatibility with the main part 4-1565081-2 while differing only in housing color and material specification documentation. Both parts share the same base product number (1565081) and are classified as Active products with equivalent performance characteristics across all critical connector parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the main part 4-1565081-2 and substitute part 1565081-1 are classified as Active products with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements:

Part 4-1565081-2 (Brown): Select this configuration when brown housing color is specified in assembly documentation or when color-coding requirements designate brown for specific circuit functions.

Part 1565081-1 (Natural): Select this configuration when natural housing color is required or when brown color is not specified as a mandatory requirement. This part carries RoHS Compliant certification status.

Both parts maintain identical performance across all critical connector parameters including pitch, position count, termination method, temperature range, and moisture sensitivity classification. The choice between these parts does not affect electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional compatibility within the Grace Inertia (GIC) series connector ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 1565081-1 be used as a direct replacement for 4-1565081-2?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The only difference is housing color (Natural vs. Brown). Direct substitution is valid when color specification is not a design requirement.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching: connector type (Plug), contact type (Female Socket), number of positions (2), pitch (0.138" / 3.50mm), number of rows (1), mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line), contact termination (Crimp), fastening type (Latch Holder), operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 Unlimited). All these parameters must be identical for substitution.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Part 1565081-1 carries RoHS Compliant certification. Part 4-1565081-2 does not specify RoHS status in the provided data. Both parts are classified as Active products with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.8000) codes.

Q: Do these parts require contacts to be included?

A: No. Both parts are connector housings only. The specification note states "Contacts Not Included" for both 4-1565081-2 and 1565081-1. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing.

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

A: The pitch is 0.138" (3.50mm), which defines the center-to-center distance between connector positions. This parameter must match exactly for mechanical and electrical compatibility. Both substitute parts maintain identical pitch specifications.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for operating temperatures from -30°C to 105°C. This temperature range supports standard industrial and automotive applications within these thermal limits.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that these connector housings have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture-controlled storage conditions. This classification applies to both the main part and substitute part.
