32-Position Nano Micro Quadlok Plug Housing
The TE Connectivity 2141576-1 is the 32-position plug housing in the Nano Micro Quadlok series, a dual-row free-hanging connector family built for dense wire-to-wire and wire-to-board harnesses where space is tight and vibration is a given. At 1.80 mm pitch with 1.50 mm row spacing, it packs 32 circuits into a footprint that would normally hold 20 at a standard 2.54 mm pitch — useful when you're routing a bundle of signal and low-power lines through a confined cavity in an automotive junction box or an industrial control panel. The latch holder fastening gives a positive lock when mated — you'll hear it click home, and it stays put under the kind of vibration that shakes loose a friction-fit connector. The 32-position count matches a 32-circuit BOM line exactly — no spare cavities, no dummy plugs needed.
Sourcing — Active, but Watch the Contacts
It's ROHS3 compliant, which clears it for European automotive and industrial equipment that requires the latest RoHS exemption list. The one sourcing trap that trips up buyers: the housing ships empty. Factor that into your BOM line — the housing and the contacts are two distinct line items, and the terminals are specific to this series.
Mating Half and Field Fit
As a plug housing, the 2141576-1 mates with the matching Nano Micro Quadlok receptacle header (the male half). The latch holder on this plug engages the corresponding catch on the receptacle for a vibration-resistant lock. The free-hanging (in-line) mounting type means it's designed to terminate a cable bundle and plug into a panel-mounted or board-mounted receptacle — not to sit on a PCB itself. The 1.80 mm pitch and 1.50 mm row spacing require verifying the mating header's footprint before committing the board layout.
