TE Connectivity 6-1565589-2 USB-A Stacked Receptacle Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 6-1565589-2 is a USB-A (USB TYPE-A) stacked USB 2.0 receptacle connector configured for 8-position through-hole, right-angle mounting. This connector features a shielded design with gold-plated contacts and is rated for solder termination with board guide support. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent and substitute components for ongoing design and procurement requirements. Alternative parts must maintain functional compatibility across connector type, contact configuration, mounting methodology, and electrical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 6-1565589-2 are identified based on strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: USB-A (USB TYPE-A), Stacked
• Number of Contacts: 8
• Gender: Receptacle
• Specifications: USB 2.0
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Mounting Feature: Vertical, Flag
• Termination: Solder
• Number of Ports: 2
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Shell/Shielding Material: Copper Alloy
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation Color: Black
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Shielding configuration (Shielded vs. Unshielded)
• Product Status (Obsolete vs. Active)
• RoHS compliance level (ROHS3 vs. RoHS Compliant)
• REACH Status classification

Substitute parts must maintain identical form factor, electrical interface, and mechanical mounting characteristics to ensure direct board-level compatibility without design modification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: TE Connectivity 3-1565589-3

The 3-1565589-3 is the parametric equivalent for the obsolete 6-1565589-2. Both parts share identical shielding configuration (Shielded), connector architecture, and mounting specifications. The 3-1565589-3 maintains active product status with RoHS compliance certification. This part provides direct functional substitution with no design modification required. The REACH Status classification differs (Vendor Undefined vs. REACH Unaffected); compliance verification with the component supplier is necessary for applications subject to REACH regulatory requirements.

Secondary Recommendation: TE Connectivity 1674452-2

The 1674452-2 functions as a similar substitute with one critical distinction: unshielded configuration versus the shielded design of the main part. This part is active and RoHS compliant. Selection of the 1674452-2 is appropriate only for applications where electromagnetic shielding is not a functional requirement. The unshielded design may introduce susceptibility to electromagnetic interference in noise-sensitive circuit environments.

Compliance Considerations:

All three parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification. The main part (6-1565589-2) carries ROHS3 compliance; both substitute parts carry RoHS compliance. For new designs, either substitute part satisfies current regulatory requirements. For legacy system replacements, compliance alignment with the original design specification must be confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1674452-2 (unshielded) directly replace the 6-1565589-2 (shielded) without circuit board redesign?

A: The 1674452-2 maintains identical form factor, mounting type, contact configuration, and electrical interface. Physical installation requires no board redesign. However, the unshielded design eliminates electromagnetic shielding present in the original part. Applications requiring EMI suppression or operating in electromagnetically noisy environments must evaluate whether shielding removal affects circuit performance.

Q: What is the difference between ROHS3 Compliant and RoHS Compliant designations?

A: ROHS3 refers to the third iteration of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive with expanded substance restrictions. RoHS Compliant indicates adherence to the base RoHS standard. Both designations confirm absence of prohibited substances. For applications subject to ROHS3 requirements, the 6-1565589-2 provides explicit certification; the substitute parts carry RoHS certification. Regulatory compliance verification with the component supplier is recommended for ROHS3-mandated applications.

Q: Is the 3-1565589-3 a direct replacement for the obsolete 6-1565589-2?

A: Yes. The 3-1565589-3 matches all critical parameters including shielding, connector type, contact count, mounting configuration, and termination method. The part is active with current inventory availability. The only variance is REACH Status classification (Vendor Undefined vs. REACH Unaffected). For applications subject to REACH regulations, supplier documentation must be obtained to confirm compliance status.

Q: Why does the 1674452-2 have lower inventory than the other parts?

A: Inventory levels reflect current stock availability and do not indicate product quality or suitability. Inventory quantities are subject to change based on procurement and demand cycles. Component selection should be based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment, not inventory status.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for new product designs?

A: The 3-1565589-3 and 1674452-2 are both active products suitable for new designs. The 6-1565589-2 is obsolete and should not be specified for new designs. For legacy system support or replacement applications, the 3-1565589-3 provides direct functional equivalence. The 1674452-2 is suitable only if unshielded operation meets design requirements.

Q: What does "Stacked" mean in the connector type designation?

A: Stacked configuration indicates two USB-A ports integrated into a single connector assembly, allowing dual USB connections through a single mounting footprint. All three parts maintain this dual-port stacked architecture.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing assemblies?

A: The 3-1565589-3 provides direct interchangeability with the 6-1565589-2 due to identical mechanical and electrical specifications. The 1674452-2 provides physical and electrical interchangeability but with shielding differences. Existing assembly compatibility depends on whether the original design requires shielded operation. Physical fit and solder pad alignment are identical across all three parts.
