1456987-4

Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1456987-4 is a rectangular connector assembly belonging to the Low Profile (LP) series. It is configured as a female receptacle housing with two rows and four positions per row, totaling eight contact locations. The housing is designed for unsealed applications and features Key C orientation to ensure correct mating alignment. This component serves as a plug housing unit intended for use with compatible pin and socket contacts.

Feature Summary

• Low profile design for compact board space utilization
• Unsealed construction suitable for general industrial environments
• Keyed housing configuration for positive mating alignment

Applications

• Industrial control panel interconnections
• General purpose electronic equipment wiring
• Automotive subsystem harnesses

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application environment does not require sealed connectors, as this model is unsealed. Confirm that the mating system utilizes Key C alignment to prevent incorrect insertion. Ensure that separate purchase of compatible crimp contacts is accounted for in the bill of materials, as housings are typically sold without integrated terminals.

Selection Notes

Select this housing when a low-profile, non-sealed solution is required for a 2x4 circuit layout. Verify that the mating connector counterpart matches the LP series specifications and Key C designation. Consider environmental exposure levels carefully, as the lack of sealing limits suitability for wet or dusty conditions compared to sealed alternatives.

Part Context

This component is part of the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors Low Profile family, designed for high-density interconnects where vertical space is constrained. It complements the broader range of rectangular connector systems by offering a specialized form factor for applications requiring robust mechanical locking with minimal footprint.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers include 1456985-4. Verify compatibility regarding position count and keying before substitution.
