TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors 2600039-7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors 2600039-7 is an 8-position rectangular connector plug housing designed for crimp contact termination in free-hanging, in-line applications. This connector operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and features a 0.215" (5.46mm) pitch configuration with latch lock fastening and sealed design with protective cap.

The 2600039-7 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production and field service requirements for systems utilizing this connector housing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 2600039-7 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent across equivalent parts:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug housing
• 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
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The DT06-08SA qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains all critical compatibility parameters. While the DT06-08SA operates within the same temperature range, features identical contact configuration, termination method, and fastening mechanism, it represents an active product from the DT series with enhanced sealing specifications (IP68, IP6K9K) and improved availability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: DT06-08SA

The DT06-08SA is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 2600039-7. This selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The DT06-08SA maintains active product status with TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors, ensuring continued availability, technical support, and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete 2600039-7.

Compliance Certification: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, satisfying regulatory requirements for new designs and field replacements. The DT06-08SA carries REACH Unaffected status, providing additional regulatory clarity for international applications.

Functional Equivalence: The DT06-08SA preserves all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 8-position configuration, 2-row layout, crimp termination, latch lock fastening, and identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The polyamide nylon glass-filled insulation material remains consistent.

Enhanced Environmental Protection: The DT06-08SA incorporates IP68 and IP6K9K sealing specifications, providing superior environmental protection compared to the sealed design of the 2600039-7. This enhancement supports applications requiring increased moisture and pressure resistance without compromising mechanical compatibility.

Mechanical Compatibility: Free-hanging in-line mounting configuration is preserved, enabling direct substitution in existing mechanical assemblies and PCB layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DT06-08SA directly replace the 2600039-7 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The DT06-08SA maintains identical connector type, contact configuration (8-position female socket), pitch spacing, mounting method (free-hanging in-line), and fastening mechanism (latch lock). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is preserved for direct substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the color difference between the 2600039-7 (black) and DT06-08SA (gray)?

A: Color difference reflects series designation (DT-XT versus DT) and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. The color change is a cosmetic distinction between product generations and does not impact connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges identical?

A: Yes. Both the 2600039-7 and DT06-08SA operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, ensuring thermal compatibility in all specified applications.

Q: What does the enhanced IP68 and IP6K9K rating on the DT06-08SA mean?

A: IP68 indicates complete dust protection and submersion capability up to specified depths. IP6K9K indicates high-pressure water jet resistance. These ratings represent enhanced environmental sealing compared to the sealed design of the 2600039-7, providing superior protection in demanding applications without affecting mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 2600039-7 and DT06-08SA are ROHS3 compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions in electronic components.

Q: Why is the DT06-08SA recommended over the 2600039-7?

A: The DT06-08SA is an active product with established supply chain availability, whereas the 2600039-7 is obsolete. Selecting the active substitute ensures long-term availability, technical support, and supply continuity for production and field service applications.

Q: Do both connectors require the same contact specifications?

A: Yes. Both housings accommodate crimp-terminated female socket contacts in identical 8-position, 2-row configuration. Contact specifications and termination procedures remain consistent between parts.

Q: Is the insulation material the same?

A: Yes. Both parts utilize polyamide (PA) nylon with glass filling for insulation material, ensuring consistent electrical and mechanical properties.
