1586590-1

Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1586590-1 is a rectangular D-Sub connector housing, specifically designed for use with high-density interconnect applications. This component serves as the insulating body for a 26-position D-Sub assembly, accommodating both male and female contact configurations depending on the mating hardware selected. It features a robust thermoplastic construction engineered to provide reliable insulation and mechanical stability within complex cable assemblies. The housing is compatible with standard D-Sub shell systems, ensuring proper grounding and environmental protection when paired with appropriate metal enclosures. Designed for industrial and commercial environments, it supports signal integrity through precise pin alignment and secure strain relief integration.

Feature Summary

• Provides structural support and electrical insulation for 26-position D-Sub contact arrays
• Engineered for secure mating with standard D-Sub shells and strain relief boots
• Constructed from durable thermoplastic materials suitable for industrial-grade reliability

Applications

• Industrial control panel wiring harnesses
• Medical equipment internal signal routing
• Telecommunications infrastructure cabling

Procurement Notes

Verify exact mating requirements before procurement, as this item is a housing only and does not include contacts or shells. Confirm that the selected contacts match the specific wire gauge and termination method required by your design. Ensure compatibility with the intended D-Sub shell size and mounting style. Cross-reference the official TE Connectivity datasheet for precise dimensional tolerances and material specifications to guarantee fitment in your final assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this housing when a 26-position D-Sub configuration is required for your application. Consider the operating temperature range and environmental exposure conditions to ensure the thermoplastic material meets your durability needs. Evaluate whether a straight or right-angle orientation is necessary for your cable routing constraints. Verify that the chosen contacts are rated for the current load and voltage levels present in your circuit to maintain system safety and performance.

Part Context

This component belongs to the broader family of D-Sub connector housings manufactured by TE Connectivity under the AMP brand. These housings are critical sub-components in modular connector systems, allowing for flexible assembly configurations. They are widely used across various industries where reliable, high-density signal transmission is essential. The 1586590-1 variant specifically addresses the need for standardized 26-pin layouts in compact form factors.

Replacement Considerations

Consult TE Connectivity's official cross-reference tools for verified substitute part numbers. Generic equivalents may lack precise dimensional compatibility or material certifications. Ensure any replacement maintains the same 26-position count and interface standards to preserve mechanical and electrical integrity in existing assemblies.
