Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1-2600027-3 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector type: Plug
• Contact type: Female socket
• Number of positions: 3
• Number of rows: 2
• Mounting type: Free hanging (in-line)
• Contact termination: Crimp
• Fastening type: Latch lock
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Insulation material composition: Polyamide/Nylon, glass-filled
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct substitutes. The substitute parts identified are TE Connectivity Deutsch components within the DT and DT-XT series families, manufactured by the same supplier and sharing identical functional and environmental specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: TE Connectivity Deutsch 2-2448102-3

The 2-2448102-3 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 1-2600027-3. This part carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. It maintains ROHS3 compliance and is functionally equivalent based on the 3-position plug housing specification. Current inventory of 666 units supports immediate procurement requirements.

Secondary Substitute: TE Connectivity Deutsch DT06-3S

The DT06-3S provides a fully compatible alternative with documented parameter alignment across all critical specifications. This part shares identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), connector configuration (3-position plug with female sockets), mounting type (free hanging in-line), and termination method (crimp with latch lock fastening). The DT06-3S features enhanced sealing specifications (IP68, IP6K9K) compared to the base sealed design of the original part. Insulation material composition is PA66 (Nylon 6/6), a refined variant of the polyamide family. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are maintained. Current inventory of 2100 units provides substantial availability. Product status is listed as discontinued at DiGi Electronics; however, the part remains available through TE Connectivity Deutsch channels.

Both substitutes are manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors, the original equipment manufacturer, ensuring design continuity and performance equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the 2-2448102-3 and DT06-3S suitable substitutes for the 1-2600027-3?

A: Both parts meet the complete set of functional and environmental parameters required for direct substitution: 3-position plug housing with female socket contacts, 2-row configuration, free-hanging in-line mounting, crimp termination with latch lock fastening, -55°C to 125°C operating range, polyamide glass-filled insulation, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating.

Q: Are there differences in sealing performance between the substitute parts?

A: The DT06-3S specifies IP68 and IP6K9K ratings, indicating enhanced protection against water immersion and high-pressure water jets. The 1-2600027-3 specifies sealed construction with cap/cover features. Both designs provide sealed operation; the DT06-3S offers quantified ingress protection ratings.

Q: Does the color difference between the 1-2600027-3 (blue) and DT06-3S (gray) affect substitution?

A: Color is a cosmetic parameter that does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Both parts are functionally equivalent. Color selection should be based on system identification or documentation requirements.

Q: What is the difference between PA and PA66 insulation materials?

A: Both are polyamide materials with glass-filling. PA66 (Nylon 6/6) is a refined variant of the polyamide family with consistent material specifications. Both materials meet the operating temperature range and environmental requirements specified for this connector category.

Q: Why is the 2-2448102-3 listed as the manufacturer-recommended substitute?

A: The 2-2448102-3 carries active product status, indicating current production and long-term availability commitment from TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. This status provides supply chain assurance for ongoing applications.

Q: Can the DT06-3S be used despite being discontinued at DiGi Electronics?

A: Yes. Discontinuation at a specific distributor does not indicate end-of-life status. The DT06-3S remains available through TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors and authorized distribution channels. Current inventory of 2100 units supports procurement requirements.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three parts (1-2600027-3, 2-2448102-3, and DT06-3S) are connector housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and are not included with the housing.

Q: What certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The DT06-3S specifies REACH Unaffected status. ECCN classification is EAR99 for both the original and DT06-3S parts.
