Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 2-2600034-0 is determined by alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Contact type: Male Pin
• Number of positions: 6
• Pitch: 0.177" (4.50mm)
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact termination: Crimp
• Fastening type: Latch Holder
• Color: Gray
• Insulation material: Polyamide/Nylon, Glass Filled

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Operating temperature range compatibility
• RoHS and regulatory compliance status
• Mechanical housing dimensions and sealing features

The primary substitute part DT04-6P-CE04 maintains functional equivalence through matching connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and termination method. This part operates within the same temperature range and maintains equivalent regulatory compliance. Secondary substitutes listed (ATM04-6P-SR01GY, YLR-06VF, DTM04-6P-EE04, RV42-06M, YLR-06V) provide alternative sourcing options within the same connector category and pitch specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute Selection:

The DT04-6P-CE04 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 2-2600034-0. This part maintains functional equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The transition from the DT-XT series to the DT series represents a product line evolution while preserving connector specifications. The DT04-6P-CE04 is classified as active, ensuring long-term procurement availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance and Regulatory Status:

Both the main part and primary substitute maintain ROHS3 compliance and equivalent regulatory standing. The insulation material specification difference (PA versus PA66) represents a material refinement within the polyamide family, with PA66 (Nylon 6/6) offering enhanced thermal and mechanical properties while maintaining compatibility with the original design parameters.

Secondary Substitute Options:

The secondary substitutes (ATM04-6P-SR01GY, YLR-06VF, DTM04-6P-EE04, RV42-06M, YLR-06V) provide alternative sourcing from the TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors portfolio. These parts maintain the core specifications of 6-position receptacle housings with 4.50mm pitch and crimp termination. Selection among secondary options should be based on specific application requirements and availability constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DT04-6P-CE04 directly replace the obsolete 2-2600034-0 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The DT04-6P-CE04 maintains functional equivalence across connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, contact termination, and fastening method. The part is manufacturer-recommended as the direct substitute.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch specification 0.177" (4.50mm)?

A: Pitch defines the center-to-center distance between adjacent contact positions. The 0.177" (4.50mm) pitch is a critical parameter for mechanical compatibility. All substitute parts must maintain this specification to ensure proper mating with corresponding plug connectors and PCB layouts.

Q: How does the row configuration differ between the main part and substitute?

A: The main part 2-2600034-0 features 3 rows of 2 positions each (6 total positions). The primary substitute DT04-6P-CE04 features 2 rows with 6 total positions. Both configurations accommodate 6 male pin contacts with identical pitch spacing. The row arrangement difference reflects product line evolution but does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility when contact positions are properly mapped.

Q: Are the secondary substitutes (ATM04-6P-SR01GY, YLR-06VF, DTM04-6P-EE04, RV42-06M, YLR-06V) equivalent to the primary substitute?

A: The secondary substitutes maintain the core specifications of 6-position receptacle housings with 4.50mm pitch and crimp termination. These parts are listed as alternatives within the TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors portfolio. Selection should be based on specific application requirements, availability, and design constraints.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for substitute parts?

A: The main part 2-2600034-0 operates from -55°C to 125°C. The primary substitute DT04-6P-CE04 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data. For applications requiring confirmed temperature specifications, contact the manufacturer directly.

Q: Does the insulation material change from PA to PA66 affect compatibility?

A: The insulation material refinement from polyamide (PA) to polyamide (PA66/Nylon 6/6) represents an enhancement within the polyamide family. PA66 offers improved thermal stability and mechanical properties while maintaining compatibility with the original design specifications. This change does not compromise functional equivalence.

Q: What does "Contacts Not Included" mean for the main part?

A: The 2-2600034-0 is a housing-only component. Male pin contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing. The substitute parts follow the same specification, requiring separate contact procurement.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: The main part 2-2600034-0 is ROHS3 compliant. The primary substitute DT04-6P-CE04 does not specify RoHS status in the provided data. For regulatory compliance verification, consult the manufacturer's documentation.
