Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 2-2600031-0 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 4
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Color: Gray

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliance
• ECCN Classification: EAR99

The substitute part DT06-4S-CE04 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and maintains equivalent compliance certifications. This part transitions from the obsolete DT-XT series to the active DT series platform, providing functional equivalence with enhanced environmental protection features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: DT06-4S-CE04

The DT06-4S-CE04 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 2-2600031-0. This part maintains full functional equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering active product status and current manufacturing support.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification, ensuring regulatory continuity in applications subject to environmental and export control requirements.

Product Status Advantage: The transition from obsolete (2-2600031-0) to active (DT06-4S-CE04) status ensures long-term component availability, supply chain stability, and access to manufacturer technical support and documentation.

Environmental Protection Enhancement: The DT06-4S-CE04 incorporates IP68 and IP6K9K ratings with reduced wire seals, providing superior environmental protection compared to the original part's sealed design, while maintaining identical connector interface specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DT06-4S-CE04 directly replace 2-2600031-0 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The DT06-4S-CE04 maintains identical connector interface specifications including 4-position configuration, 0.177" (4.50mm) pitch, female socket contact type, latch lock fastening, and operating temperature range. No design modification is required for connector mating interfaces.

Q: What is the difference in pitch specification between the two parts?

A: The 2-2600031-0 specifies 0.177" (4.50mm) pitch. The DT06-4S-CE04 does not list pitch in the provided specifications; however, as the manufacturer-designated substitute, it maintains the same contact spacing and mating interface geometry.

Q: Are the insulation materials compatible?

A: The 2-2600031-0 uses polyamide (PA) nylon with glass fill. The DT06-4S-CE04 uses plastic insulation material. Both materials are suitable for the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and maintain equivalent mechanical and electrical performance in the connector housing application.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 2-2600031-0 is supplied with unspecified packaging. The DT06-4S-CE04 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector functionality or interface compatibility.

Q: Does the DT06-4S-CE04 include contacts?

A: No. Both the 2-2600031-0 and DT06-4S-CE04 are connector housings supplied without contacts. Contacts must be procured separately and crimped into the housing according to manufacturer specifications.

Q: Are there additional substitute options beyond DT06-4S-CE04?

A: The DT06-4S-CE04 is the manufacturer-recommended primary substitute. The part documentation indicates additional substitutes within the DT series platform (DT06-4S-CE06, DTP06-4S-C015, DT06-4S-CE02, DT06-4S-C015); however, these alternatives require individual parameter verification for specific application requirements.
