It is a free-hanging (in-line) connector intended for crimp termination — the contacts are ordered separately. ## What the Locking Ramp and Housing Material Mean for the Harness The locking ramp on this plug housing provides an audible and tactile latch when mated with the corresponding VAL-U-LOK receptacle. In a harness that sees engine-bay vibration or frequent field servicing, that latch keeps the pair engaged without relying on the terminal friction alone — a detail that saves a rework trip when the harness is routed through a tight cavity. ## Contacts Not Included — Plan the Full BOM The 1-1586000-6 ships as a bare housing with no contacts. The spec line \"Contacts Not Included\" means the BOM needs a separate line item for the 16 male crimp terminals (TE part number 1586000-1 or the current equivalent from the VAL-U-LOK terminal family). ## Active Production — No LTB Surprise There is no last-time-buy notice and no phase-out. For a sourcing decision, this means the part is still in the regular TE distribution channel. ## Mates with Standard VAL-U-LOK Receptacles This plug housing mates with any VAL-U-LOK receptacle housing of the same 16-position, dual-row configuration. The 4.20mm pitch and locking ramp interface are consistent across the series — a 16-position receptacle from the same family (e.g., 1586000-2) will latch cleanly. The free-hanging in-line mounting means the plug sits in the middle of a wire harness, not at a panel or board edge.","metaTitle":"TE VAL-U-LOK 1-1586000-6, 16 Pos Plug Housing 4.20mm","metaDescription":"TE Connectivity VAL-U-LOK 1-1586000-6 plug housing, 16 positions, 4.20mm pitch, dual-row, locking ramp, natural PA.
