Procurement Notes

Verify the exact contact count and orientation requirements against the specific assembly drawing before procurement. Ensure compatibility with the designated contact insertion tooling and crimp specifications. Confirm that the housing material grade meets the thermal and chemical exposure standards of the target installation environment to prevent premature failure.

Selection Notes

Select this housing based on the required number of positions and the specific wire gauge range supported by the AMPSEAL 16 contact lineup. Consider the mating interface type and sealing requirements if environmental protection is critical. Validate that the chosen configuration aligns with the overall system voltage and current ratings defined by the contact selection.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AMPSEAL 16 family, a widely used rectangular connector system known for its versatility in automotive and industrial sectors. The series offers various housing options including plugs, receptacles, and sealed variants. Model 1546814-1 specifically addresses the need for unsealed or standard plug connections within this extensive ecosystem.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the AMPSEAL 16 footprint and pinout. Verify cross-reference data with TE Connectivity official substitution lists. Generic rectangular housings are not suitable due to specific locking and alignment features unique to the AMPSEAL design.
