Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 1-2600039-7 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
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Series designation (DT-XT to DT)
• Housing color (Black to Gray)
• Insulation material composition (Polyamide PA nylon glass-filled to Plastic)
• Integrated features (Cap, Heat Shrink, Sealed to IP68, IP6K9K, Shrink Boot Adapter)
• Pitch specification (0.215" / 5.46mm to unspecified in substitute)

The substitute part DT06-08SA-E008 maintains all mandatory parameters while offering enhanced environmental protection ratings and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DT06-08SA-E008 serves as the primary substitute for the obsolete 1-2600039-7. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The main part is classified as obsolete, while the substitute maintains active product status. This ensures continued availability and manufacturer support for future procurement requirements.

Compliance Certification: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, satisfying regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions. The substitute carries REACH Unaffected status, providing additional regulatory clarity.

Functional Equivalence: All critical connector parameters align between the main part and substitute, including 8-position configuration, 2-row layout, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. Both operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Environmental Protection Enhancement: The substitute incorporates IP68 and IP6K9K ratings with shrink boot adapter features, providing superior environmental sealing compared to the main part's cap, heat shrink, and sealed configuration. This represents a functional upgrade in environmental protection capability.

Material and Packaging Considerations: The substitute utilizes plastic insulation material versus the main part's polyamide nylon glass-filled composition. The substitute is available in bulk packaging with significantly higher inventory levels (2214 pieces versus 660 pieces), supporting production scalability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DT06-08SA-E008 directly replace the 1-2600039-7 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), and fastening mechanism (latch lock). Operating temperature ranges are identical at -55°C to 125°C. The substitute is functionally equivalent for connector housing applications.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: Primary differences include product status (obsolete versus active), housing color (black versus gray), insulation material composition (polyamide nylon glass-filled versus plastic), and integrated features (cap/heat shrink/sealed versus IP68/IP6K9K/shrink boot adapter). The substitute provides enhanced environmental protection ratings.

Q: Does the color difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. Housing color is a cosmetic parameter that does not affect electrical performance, contact integrity, or connector functionality. Both black and gray housings provide equivalent insulation and mechanical protection.

Q: Are the pitch specifications compatible?

A: The main part specifies 0.215" (5.46mm) pitch. The substitute pitch specification is not provided in available documentation. However, both parts maintain 8-position, 2-row configuration with identical mounting and termination methods, indicating compatible pitch geometry for this connector class.

Q: What is the significance of the IP68 and IP6K9K ratings on the substitute?

A: IP68 indicates complete dust protection and water immersion capability up to specified depths. IP6K9K indicates high-pressure water jet resistance. These ratings represent enhanced environmental sealing performance compared to the main part's sealed configuration, providing superior protection in harsh operating environments.

Q: Are contacts included with either part?

A: No. Both the main part and substitute are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be procured separately. Both parts are designed for crimp contact termination.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The main part is available in standard packaging with 660 pieces in stock. The substitute is available in bulk packaging with 2214 pieces in stock, supporting higher-volume production requirements.
