TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 4-1565081-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 4-1565081-3 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 currently active in production with 9,688 units available in inventory.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector housing specifications, allowing for functional interchangeability in applications where the primary design parameters remain constant.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Electrical Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (2)
• Pitch specification (0.138" / 3.50mm)
• Number of rows (1)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening type (Latch Holder)
• Operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C)

Environmental Parameters:

• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited)
• Series classification (Grace Inertia, GIC)

The substitute part 1565081-1 maintains identical specifications across all critical electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters. The only variance is the housing color (Natural versus Violet), which does not affect functional interchangeability in applications where color coding is not a design requirement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 4-1565081-3 and 1565081-1 are active production parts manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the Grace Inertia series. Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications, indicating equivalent regulatory and trade compliance status.

Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements:

Select 4-1565081-3 (Violet) when color-coded identification is required for circuit board assembly, wiring harness organization, or system documentation purposes.

Select 1565081-1 (Natural) when color coding is not a functional requirement or when natural-colored housings are preferred for aesthetic or organizational standards.

Both parts are functionally equivalent for electrical and mechanical performance. Inventory availability should be considered as a secondary factor: 4-1565081-3 has 9,688 units in stock, while 1565081-1 has 9,143 units in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1565081-1 be used as a direct replacement for 4-1565081-3?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications for connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, termination type, and operating parameters. The only difference is housing color. Substitution is valid when color identification is not a design requirement.

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

A: The following parameters must be identical: 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), and operating temperature range (-30°C ~ 105°C).

Q: Does the color difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. Housing color is a cosmetic attribute and does not affect electrical conductivity, signal integrity, or mechanical performance of the connector.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The main part 4-1565081-3 does not specify RoHS status in the provided data. The substitute part 1565081-1 is listed as RoHS Compliant. Compliance requirements should be verified against specific application standards before final selection.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life with no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling. Both parts carry this rating.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both parts are connector housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to TE Connectivity specifications.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably with other Grace Inertia series parts?

A: Only with other Grace Inertia series parts that maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Pitch, number of positions, contact type, and mounting configuration must all match the application requirements.
