TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors 3-2600026-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors 3-2600026-2 is a 3-position rectangular connector receptacle housing from the DT-XT series. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent parts for ongoing procurement and system integration. The housing accommodates male pin contacts with crimp termination and features sealed design with latch holder fastening. Substitute parts must maintain functional compatibility across connector type, position count, contact configuration, and environmental specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 3-2600026-2 are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Functional Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector Type: Receptacle housing
• Number of Positions: 3-position configuration
• Contact Type: Male pin accommodation
• Number of Rows: 2-row arrangement
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Holder
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C

Regulatory & Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• ECCN: EAR99

The substitute parts identified maintain these core parameters while offering active product status and enhanced environmental protection ratings where applicable. Color variation (Green to Gray) does not affect functional substitution where mechanical and electrical specifications remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: DT04-3P

The DT04-3P is the recommended substitute for the obsolete 3-2600026-2. This part maintains complete functional equivalence across all specified parameters: 3-position receptacle housing with male pin contacts, 2-row configuration, crimp termination, and latch holder fastening. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and utilize polyamide nylon glass-filled insulation material. The DT04-3P holds active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. The DT04-3P provides enhanced environmental protection with IP68 and IP6K9K ratings, offering superior sealing performance compared to the sealed design of the original part. Current inventory of 2400 units supports immediate procurement.

Secondary Substitute: 2-2448110-2

The 2-2448110-2 is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute with confirmed 3-position receptacle housing configuration. This part maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. However, detailed specifications for contact type, row configuration, mounting type, contact termination, fastening type, and operating temperature range are not provided in available documentation. This part holds active product status with 1058 units in current inventory. Selection of this part requires confirmation of mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DT04-3P directly replace the 3-2600026-2 in existing assemblies?

A: The DT04-3P maintains functional equivalence across all critical parameters: 3-position receptacle housing, male pin contact accommodation, 2-row configuration, crimp termination, latch holder fastening, polyamide nylon glass-filled insulation, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The DT04-3P provides enhanced environmental protection through IP68 and IP6K9K ratings. Mechanical fit and mating interface compatibility with existing connector plugs must be confirmed for the specific application.

Q: What is the difference between the DT04-3P and 2-2448110-2 substitutes?

A: The DT04-3P provides complete specification alignment with the original 3-2600026-2 across all documented parameters. The 2-2448110-2 is manufacturer-recommended but lacks detailed specification documentation for contact type, row configuration, mounting type, contact termination, fastening type, and operating temperature range. The DT04-3P is the preferred selection where full specification equivalence is required.

Q: Does color difference between the 3-2600026-2 (Green) and DT04-3P (Gray) affect substitution?

A: Color is a cosmetic parameter that does not affect electrical or mechanical function. The green color of the original part and gray color of the substitute do not impact connector performance, contact integrity, or environmental sealing. Selection between these parts is based on functional parameters and regulatory compliance, not color designation.

Q: Are contacts included with substitute parts?

A: No. Both the original 3-2600026-2 and substitute parts DT04-3P and 2-2448110-2 are housing-only components. Contacts are not included and must be procured separately. Ensure that replacement contacts are compatible with crimp termination and the 3-position, 2-row configuration.

Q: What environmental protection does the DT04-3P provide compared to the original part?

A: The original 3-2600026-2 features sealed design with cap (cover). The DT04-3P provides IP68 and IP6K9K environmental protection ratings, indicating enhanced sealing against dust ingress and high-pressure water jets. Both designs maintain sealed integrity across the -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range.

Q: Are there supply chain considerations for selecting between active substitutes?

A: The DT04-3P maintains 2400 units in current inventory, providing robust supply availability. The 2-2448110-2 maintains 1058 units in inventory. Both parts hold active product status, ensuring continued availability. The DT04-3P is recommended for new designs and long-term procurement planning due to complete specification documentation and higher inventory levels.
