The 1586043-6 is a dual-row, 6-position header from TE's VAL-U-LOK series, designed for wire-to-board power distribution. The 4.20 mm pitch and 9 A per contact rating place it in the mid-power class — not a signal-density header, but a workhorse for lighting, industrial controls, and general-purpose equipment.
The 1586043-6 is the male header half of the VAL-U-LOK system — it mates with the matching TE VAL-U-LOK female receptacle housing that accepts the corresponding crimp terminal and has a locking ramp slot. The 4-wall shroud on the header keys to the housing ribs to prevent mis-mating of adjacent circuit counts in the same series.
RoHS Compliant is the only compliance entry on the official lifecycle record. No UL, VDE, or IEC type-approval rating appears in the spec table. The UL94 V-2 flammability rating on the housing material is a material rating, not a connector agency listing — confirm with TE whether a UL recognition or VDE test report is available for the specific configuration before specifying in a certified end-product.
