1561015-1

Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1561015-1 is a rectangular connector housing belonging to the Heavy Duty Sealed Connector Series, MCP 1.5K/2.8. It is configured as a plug with ten positions arranged in two rows. The housing utilizes a slide locking mechanism and features sealed construction for environmental protection. Designed for free-hanging installation, it accommodates crimped tab-type contacts. The unit is constructed from black glass-reinforced polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) insulation and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to 140°C.

Feature Summary

• Sealed construction provides environmental protection against contaminants
• Slide locking mechanism ensures secure mating engagement
• Glass-reinforced PBT insulation offers thermal stability

Applications

• Industrial equipment interconnects
• Automotive electronic systems
• Harsh environment signal transmission

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required configuration, as variations may exist within the product family. Confirm that mating contacts are procured separately, as they are not included with the housing. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet to ensure compatibility with existing cable assemblies and verify that the current revision aligns with design specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a sealed, heavy-duty rectangular plug housing is required for demanding applications. Ensure the selected variant matches the necessary pin count and row configuration. Verify that the operating temperature range meets system requirements. Confirm that the slide lock style is compatible with the assembly constraints and that appropriate crimping tools are available for the intended contact types.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MCP 1.5K/2.8 series, designed for robust performance in challenging environments. The series emphasizes durability and reliable sealing for industrial and automotive use cases. As a plug housing, it serves as the structural interface for terminating wires and mating with corresponding receptacles, forming critical connection points within larger electrical systems.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official TE Connectivity documentation to identify direct replacements or updated revisions. Verify dimensional compatibility and locking mechanism alignment before substituting similar housings from other manufacturers.
