Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Primary Substitution 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

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA) or Polyamide (PA66) based nylon compounds with glass filling
• Operating Temperature Range: Minimum -55°C to 125°C capability
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 and REACH compliance status

The primary substitute part DT04-6P-CE04 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct functional replacement. Secondary substitutes (ATM04-6P-SR01GY, YLR-06VF, DTM04-6P-EE04, RV42-06M, YLR-06V) are cross-compatible alternatives within the broader TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors ecosystem and related manufacturer offerings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute Selection:

The DT04-6P-CE04 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 2-2600034-2. This part maintains functional equivalence across all critical connector parameters: 6-position receptacle configuration, male pin contact type, crimp termination, latch holder fastening, and free-hanging in-line mounting. The transition from the DT-XT series to the active DT series represents a product line evolution within TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. The DT04-6P-CE04 is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance Considerations:

The 2-2600034-2 maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection of the DT04-6P-CE04 or secondary substitutes should be verified for equivalent regulatory compliance in applications requiring these certifications.

Row Configuration Difference:

The primary substitute DT04-6P-CE04 features a 2-row configuration compared to the 3-row layout of the original part. This geometric difference requires mechanical validation in applications with space constraints or specific connector orientation requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DT04-6P-CE04 directly replace the 2-2600034-2 in all applications?

A: The DT04-6P-CE04 maintains electrical and functional compatibility through matching connector type, contact type, position count, pitch, termination method, and fastening mechanism. The row configuration difference (2 rows versus 3 rows) requires mechanical validation for specific mounting and spatial requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch specification in connector substitution?

A: The pitch (0.177" or 4.50mm) determines the physical spacing between contact positions and is critical for mating compatibility. Substitutes must maintain identical pitch specifications to ensure proper alignment with mating connectors and cable assemblies.

Q: Are the secondary substitutes (ATM04-6P-SR01GY, YLR-06VF, DTM04-6P-EE04, RV42-06M, YLR-06V) direct equivalents?

A: The secondary substitutes are cross-compatible alternatives within the broader rectangular connector ecosystem. These parts maintain the core functional parameters (6 positions, 4.50mm pitch, receptacle type, male pin contacts, crimp termination, latch holder fastening) but may originate from different manufacturers or product series. Full parameter verification is required for each specific application.

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

A: Both materials are polyamide-based nylon compounds with glass filling, suitable for the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. PA66 (Nylon 6/6) represents a specific polyamide formulation. The material difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for this connector category.

Q: Why is the original 2-2600034-2 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates that the part is no longer in active production. The DT04-6P-CE04 represents the current active equivalent within the TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors product portfolio, ensuring continued availability and support for new designs and field replacements.

Q: What does "Contacts Not Included" mean for the 2-2600034-2?

A: This specification indicates that the housing component is supplied without pre-installed contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing during assembly. This is standard for modular connector systems.

Q: How does Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 affect storage and handling?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity restrictions. The component does not require special dry storage conditions or desiccant packaging, simplifying inventory management and field deployment.
