DS562 Overview
A connector is an electromechanical interface component that joins a wiring harness, printed circuit board, vehicle circuit, or other cable assembly to another electrical system. Connector terminology can include housing gender, terminal gender, terminal quantity, contact type, pin pitch, wire gauge, and mating orientation. DS562 appears in search results under multiple unrelated identities, so the identifier must be matched to the exact Standard Motor Products listing before ordering or design use.
The verified distributor result identifies the connector gender as female, the terminal gender as male and female, terminal quantity as four and one, and terminal type as blade terminals. These are the principal searchable characteristics for this record. No verified voltage rating, current rating, insulation rating, operating temperature, enclosure rating, or dimensional drawing was supplied, so those specifications should not be inferred from the connector category.
The part may be used in legacy wiring systems, repair assemblies, or equipment where the original harness uses the same connector geometry. Compatibility depends on housing dimensions, blade width and thickness, terminal spacing, locking mechanism, wire gauge, conductor size, and environmental sealing. The manufacturer, connector series, and mating half should be confirmed from the original equipment documentation or the relevant distributor technical drawing.
Before procurement, compare the DS562 against the exact connector drawing and mating part, not only the MPN text. The verified pricing shown by RockAuto is $153.79 for the listed Standard Motor Products DS562 record, while the remaining commercial terms and stock conditions are not available in the supplied data. Pricing and availability should therefore be confirmed as of the current date.
This page consolidates the verified distributor identity, connector attributes, sourcing links, and unresolved engineering-data warnings. It does not claim that similarly named products, including aerospace or Xilinx records, are interchangeable with this connector.

Typical Applications
DS562 is suitable for 6 applications: Legacy Automotive Wiring Harness Repair, Electrical Harness Connector Replacement, Equipment Wiring Service Parts, Heavy-Duty Blade-Terminal Assemblies, Connector Identification and Inspection, Specialized Vehicle Electrical Repair.
Legacy Automotive Wiring Harness Repair
DS562 may be relevant to a legacy wiring-harness repair when the original equipment documentation confirms the same Standard Motor Products connector identity and geometry. The verified distributor record identifies a female connector body, mixed male and female terminals, terminal quantities of 4 and 1, and blade-terminal construction, which can help narrow a parts search. Before installation, verify housing dimensions, cavity spacing, blade size, locking behavior, wire-gauge range, current rating, and the exact mating half. The $153.79 RockAuto listing is a sourcing reference as of 2026-10-21, not evidence that the connector is currently in stock or that every vehicle application is compatible.
Recommended
Electrical Harness Connector Replacement
The DS562 record can support identification work for an electrical harness connector replacement where the original assembly uses blade terminals. The female connector gender and mixed terminal genders should be checked against the damaged housing and the corresponding terminals before procurement. A distributor listing does not provide the missing dimensional drawing, so technicians should compare the physical part, cavity count, keying, retention features, and wire entry arrangement. Confirm that the replacement preserves the original circuit's current and voltage requirements, especially in equipment where connector heating or poor contact could create a safety risk.
Recommended
Equipment Wiring Service Parts
DS562 may be used as a service-part candidate for specialized equipment with a matching blade-terminal harness interface. The verified result supplies enough basic identity information to begin a distributor search, but not enough to certify mechanical compatibility. Equipment service documentation should identify the connector series and mating assembly, while the physical inspection should confirm terminal orientation and housing retention. Because the supplied record does not state operating temperature, sealing, current, voltage, or material ratings, the part should not be treated as a universal replacement across equipment families.
Recommended
Heavy-Duty Blade-Terminal Assemblies
A DS562 identification workflow may be useful when maintaining a blade-terminal assembly requiring the correct housing and terminal arrangement. The verified record confirms blade-terminal construction, but it does not establish whether the terminals are designed for a particular wire diameter, current level, or environmental exposure. Inspect the original assembly for locking features, cavity spacing, and conductor size before ordering. In high-vibration or high-temperature equipment, obtain the manufacturer's mechanical and electrical drawings and validate the replacement under the same mounting and wiring conditions.
Recommended
Connector Identification and Inspection
DS562 is suitable as a search key when identifying a connector in an incoming component inspection or legacy repair inventory process. The available record gives a female connector body, mixed terminal genders, terminal quantities of 4 and 1, and blade terminals, allowing personnel to compare a physical part against a distributor listing. However, the record does not provide a complete pinout or drawing. Inspection should therefore include markings, housing geometry, cavity numbering, terminal retention, and mating-half compatibility rather than relying only on the MPN.
Recommended
Specialized Vehicle Electrical Repair
DS562 may be considered for a specialized vehicle electrical repair when the original connector is confirmed as the Standard Motor Products part and the supplied attributes match the observed assembly. The mixed terminal-gender description and blade-terminal type can help distinguish the connector from unrelated DS562 aerospace and electronic-designation records. Vehicle applications can impose stricter vibration, temperature, sealing, and current requirements than the available listing states. Confirm the OEM or connector-series drawing and test the repaired interface for retention, continuity, and appropriate circuit protection before returning the equipment to service.

Key Differentiators
- Verified connector-specific identity (vs Unrelated DS562 aerospace and Xilinx records)
- Mixed terminal-gender construction (vs Unrelated DS562 weighing-scale and broadcast-module records)
- Commercial price visibility (vs Generic DS562 search results without pricing)
Design Notes
Do not identify DS562 by the alphanumeric string alone. The supplied search results use the same identifier for an aerospace part, an Xilinx core document, a broadcast module, a weighing scale, and a Standard Motor Products connector. Confirm the manufacturer, physical connector shape, cavity count, blade dimensions, and mating assembly before purchasing. The verified distributor listing is useful for identification, but it does not replace a connector drawing or wiring diagram.
During inspection, compare the housing keying, cavity spacing, terminal orientation, and locking features with the original connector. The verified record lists terminal quantities as 4 and 1, but it does not provide a cavity map, pin numbering, or dimensions. Do not infer terminal positions from the quantity alone. Photograph the original assembly and obtain the manufacturer drawing before rework to reduce the risk of incorrect terminal orientation or incomplete mating engagement.
Validate current, voltage, temperature, and wire-gauge requirements before using DS562 in a powered circuit. Those ratings are marked as data-needed because they were not present in the supplied source. Check the original equipment specification and the connector manufacturer's limits, then verify that conductor size and terminal construction match the intended load. A blade-terminal connector should not be treated as interchangeable solely because the blade type appears similar.
For high-current or high-temperature equipment, inspect the connector for discoloration, deformation, loose retention, and evidence of localized heating. The available data does not provide an operating-temperature range or current rating, so a thermal margin cannot be calculated responsibly. Use the original equipment rating and connector documentation, and correct the underlying resistance or overcurrent condition before installing a replacement.
