1648457-1

Overview

The 1648457-1 is a housing component manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, designed for use in backplane connector systems. Classified under backplane connector housings, this part serves as the structural receptacle for mating with corresponding pins or contacts. The component is currently active and available for production. It complies with RoHS standards and carries an ECCN classification of EAR99. The moisture sensitivity level is rated at MSL 1, indicating unlimited exposure to floor life conditions upon opening the package. The standard manufacturing packaging quantity is specified as 200 units per reel or bulk container.

Feature Summary

• Serves as a dedicated housing for backplane interconnection applications
• Designed specifically for male pin contact integration
• Constructed to support panel mounting configurations
• Complies with international environmental safety regulations

Applications

• Backplane connector system assembly
• Industrial equipment chassis interconnects
• Telecommunications infrastructure hardware
• Server rack power distribution units

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires a housing-only configuration rather than a complete assembled connector unit. Confirm that the mating contacts are sourced separately, as this part number represents the insulator shell exclusively. Ensure that the panel mounting requirements align with the physical dimensions of the ELCON series drawer style. Check that the target environment does not require specialized coatings beyond the standard thermoplastic material properties provided in the official datasheet.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing a modular backplane architecture that utilizes the ELCON series interface standard. This housing is intended for systems requiring robust mechanical retention of male contacts within a drawer-style enclosure. Consider the thermal and electrical ratings of the accompanying contacts, as the housing defines the geometry but not the current carrying capacity. Validate that the assembly process allows for separate insertion of contacts into this specific housing type.

Part Context

This part belongs to the broader ELCON family of heavy-duty power connectors produced by TE Connectivity. The ELCON series is engineered for high-reliability applications in industrial and energy sectors. As a housing variant, it provides the foundational structure for assembling custom connector solutions. It complements other components in the series, such as contacts and locking mechanisms, to form complete interconnect assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

No direct substitute part numbers are publicly confirmed for this specific housing model. Cross-compatibility should be verified against other ELCON series housings with identical pin counts and mounting styles. Consult official TE Connectivity documentation for any obsolescence notices or recommended upgrades.
