Obsolete — Sourcing the 1-1969598-4
The TE Connectivity 1-1969598-4 is listed as Obsolete, which means the factory no longer manufactures this exact order code.
What This Connector Is
The 1-1969598-4 is a 14-position, 2-row plug from the TE Connectivity VAL-U-LOK series, a wire-to-wire / wire-to-board interconnect family built around a 4.20mm pitch. The housing is natural polyamide (PA66/Nylon 6/6) with an integral locking ramp for positive retention when mated. It is a free-hanging (in-line) plug that accepts male pin contacts via crimp termination — the contacts themselves are not included and must be ordered separately as a line item.
Key Specs for the Fit Check
The 0.165" (4.20mm) pitch and 0.165" (4.20mm) row spacing are the same as the rest of the VAL-U-LOK series, so the footprint and housing keying are standard for the family. The 14 positions in a 2-row layout mean 7 circuits per row. The locking ramp fastening type provides a vibration-resistant mate — you'll hear it click when the plug seats into the matching receptacle.
Mating Half and Termination
This plug mates with a VAL-U-LOK receptacle housing of the same circuit count and pitch. The crimp termination requires the appropriate male pin contacts (sold separately) and a hand or automatic crimp tool. Because the contacts are not included, order the terminals and the housing as separate BOM lines — don't let an orphan plug sit on the shelf without its pins.
