1571142-1

Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1571142-1 is a rectangular connector housing designed for use with AMPSEAL 16 series contacts. This specific component serves as the plug housing, engineered to accommodate multiple circuit configurations within industrial and automotive applications. It features a robust thermoplastic construction that provides necessary dielectric strength and environmental resistance. The design supports secure mating with corresponding receptacle housings through integrated locking mechanisms, ensuring reliable electrical connections under varying operational conditions.

Feature Summary

• Engineered for secure mechanical retention of AMPSEAL 16 series contacts
• Constructed from high-performance thermoplastic materials for durability
• Designed with integrated locking features for reliable mating engagement

Applications

• Automotive electrical systems
• Industrial control panels
• General purpose interconnect solutions

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact cavity count and contact orientation requirements against the system schematic before procurement. Ensure compatibility with the specific AMPSEAL 16 contact types intended for installation. Confirm that the housing material grade meets the thermal and chemical exposure standards of the target environment. Cross-reference the drawing dimensions to validate spatial constraints within the assembly enclosure.

Selection Notes

Select this housing based on the required number of circuits and the specific contact termination style needed for the application. Consider the environmental sealing requirements when choosing between sealed and unsealed variants within the same series. Evaluate the mating force and retention characteristics to ensure they align with the mechanical design of the final assembly. Verify that the chosen color code meets any organizational or safety identification standards in place.

Part Context

This component belongs to the AMPSEAL 16 family, a widely used rectangular connector system known for its versatility in harsh environments. The series offers various housing options including plugs, receptacles, and wall mounts. These connectors are characterized by their ability to support high current capacities and provide reliable performance in automotive and industrial sectors where vibration and temperature fluctuations are common factors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the AMPSEAL 16 footprint and locking mechanism. Verify that substitute housings maintain identical cavity spacing and terminal retention forces. Ensure alternative parts meet the same UL and IEC certification standards. Consult official cross-reference lists for approved equivalents to guarantee functional interchangeability without redesigning the assembly.
