6-Circuit Universal MATE-N-LOK Receptacle Housing, Panel Mount
It is a panel-mount, snap-in style housing with a natural-colored polyamide (nylon) insulation body.
A critical sourcing note: the 1586887-1 housing ships without contacts. The housing is the shell and retention structure; the electrical path comes from the crimp terminals you add.
Mates With Universal MATE-N-LOK Plug Headers
For a 6-circuit, 2-row configuration, pair it with the plug housing 1-1644055-3, which has a 0.250" (6.35mm) pitch and free-hanging (in-line) mounting.
Position Count Comparison: 6 vs 4 Circuits
The 6-position 1586887-1 compares directly with the 4-position sibling 1-2069332-1 within the same Universal MATE-N-LOK series. Both are 2-row receptacles with panel-mount snap-in, latch-lock fastening, and accept crimp terminals. The 1-2069332-1 adds a mounting flange and uses a 0.400" (10.16mm) pitch versus the standard pitch of the 1586887-1.
