TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors 1-2600039-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors 1-2600039-6 is an 8-position rectangular connector plug housing from the DT-XT series. This component is classified as Obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The connector features a 0.215" (5.46mm) pitch, gray polyamide construction, and is designed for crimp termination with latch lock fastening. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary for ongoing system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where compatibility requirements are met.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-2600039-6 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 8
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock
• Color: Gray
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part DT06-08SA-E008 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters. While the substitute part operates within the same temperature range and maintains equivalent connector architecture, it belongs to the active DT series rather than the obsolete DT-XT series. The substitute provides functional equivalence for applications requiring 8-position rectangular plug housings with crimp termination and latch lock fastening.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DT06-08SA-E008 serves as the primary substitute for the obsolete 1-2600039-6. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part maintains Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The main part's Obsolete classification necessitates transition to an equivalent active component for long-term supply chain reliability.

Compliance Certification: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, satisfying regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions. The substitute part carries REACH Unaffected status, confirming compliance with chemical substance regulations.

Functional Equivalence: The substitute part preserves all critical connector parameters including 8-position configuration, 2-row architecture, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. Operating temperature range remains identical at -55°C ~ 125°C, ensuring thermal performance equivalence.

Inventory Availability: The substitute part (DT06-08SA-E008) maintains higher inventory levels (2214 pieces) compared to the main part (1045 pieces), providing improved procurement reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DT06-08SA-E008 directly replace the 1-2600039-6 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type (Plug), contact type (Female Socket), position count (8), row configuration (2), mounting method (Free Hanging In-Line), termination method (Crimp), fastening mechanism (Latch Lock), color (Gray), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). These parameters define functional compatibility for rectangular connector applications.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 1-2600039-6 is classified as Obsolete, indicating discontinued production. The DT06-08SA-E008 is an Active product from TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors that maintains equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring continued availability for system maintenance and new implementations.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between these parts?

A: The main part 1-2600039-6 packaging specification is not provided. The substitute part DT06-08SA-E008 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging differences do not affect connector functionality or compatibility.

Q: Do both parts require separate contact procurement?

A: Yes. Both the 1-2600039-6 and DT06-08SA-E008 are connector housings supplied without contacts included. Contacts must be procured separately and are compatible with both housing types based on the crimp termination specification.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The DT06-08SA-E008 maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Both certifications align with the main part's ROHS3 compliance, satisfying regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions and chemical substance regulations.

Q: Are the pitch specifications identical?

A: The main part 1-2600039-6 specifies a pitch of 0.215" (5.46mm). The substitute part DT06-08SA-E008 does not provide explicit pitch specification in available documentation. However, both parts share identical 8-position, 2-row configuration with the same connector architecture, indicating pitch compatibility.
