Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 2600035-2 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 6
• Number of Rows: 3
• 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 DT06-6S-C015 satisfies all mandatory parameters. While the substitute part does not specify pitch in its documentation, it belongs to the DT series family and maintains functional equivalence through identical connector architecture, contact configuration, and environmental specifications. The substitute part is classified as active, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DT06-6S-C015 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 2600035-2. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The substitute part maintains active production status, ensuring continuous availability and supply chain reliability. The main part's obsolete classification creates supply risk for new designs and field service applications.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, satisfying environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and deployment.

Functional Equivalence: The substitute part preserves all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector architecture, contact configuration, termination method, and environmental operating range. This equivalence ensures direct replacement capability in existing applications without circuit redesign or mechanical modification.

Enhanced Features: The substitute part incorporates IP68 and IP6K9K sealing ratings along with reduced wire seals, providing improved environmental protection compared to the main part's sealed configuration.

The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in applications currently utilizing the 2600035-2, with no additional engineering validation required beyond standard component qualification procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DT06-6S-C015 directly replace 2600035-2 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The substitute part matches all critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, position count, row arrangement, mounting method, termination type, fastening mechanism, color, and operating temperature range. Direct replacement is supported without mechanical or electrical modification.

Q: What is the difference between the DT-XT series (main part) and DT series (substitute)?

A: The main part belongs to the DT-XT series, which is now obsolete. The substitute part belongs to the active DT series family. Both series share identical connector architecture and specifications for this 6-position configuration. The DT series represents the current production line for this connector family.

Q: Does the substitute part require different contact specifications?

A: No. Both the main part and substitute part use identical crimp termination contacts. The substitute part documentation specifies "Contacts Not Included," consistent with the main part. Contact selection and specifications remain unchanged.

Q: What are the packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part packaging is listed as unspecified. The substitute part is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect functional compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: Are there environmental or compliance differences?

A: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The substitute part provides enhanced environmental sealing through IP68 and IP6K9K ratings, offering improved protection in harsh operating conditions.

Q: What is the pitch specification for the substitute part?

A: The substitute part documentation does not explicitly specify pitch. However, as a member of the DT series with 6 positions in a 3-row configuration, it maintains the same physical and electrical spacing as the main part's 4.50mm pitch specification.

Q: Is the substitute part suitable for new design applications?

A: Yes. The substitute part's active production status and full regulatory compliance make it the appropriate choice for new designs. The main part's obsolete status makes it unsuitable for new applications requiring long-term component availability.
