AT04-08PB-EC01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AT04-08PB-EC01 is an 8-position rectangular connector receptacle housing manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp. This component is part of the AT Series™ connector family and serves as a receptacle housing for applications requiring free-hanging, in-line connectivity with crimp termination. The part is currently in active production status with 1238 units available in inventory.

Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part becomes unavailable, when inventory constraints exist, or when design flexibility permits the use of equivalent connector housings that meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DT04-08PB-E003 manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors qualifies as a direct substitute for the AT04-08PB-EC01 based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Electrical and Mechanical Specifications:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Contact type: Male Pin
• Number of positions: 8
• Number of rows: 2
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact termination: Crimp
• Fastening type: Latch Holder
• Color: Black
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C

Compliance Alignment:

• Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant
• Both parts carry ECCN classification EAR99
• Both parts are rated for identical operating temperature ranges

The substitute part maintains functional equivalence across all specified parameters, enabling direct replacement in applications where the AT04-08PB-EC01 is currently specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the AT04-08PB-EC01 and DT04-08PB-E003 are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and identical operating specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Availability and Lead Time: The DT04-08PB-E003 currently has higher inventory availability (2709 units) compared to the AT04-08PB-EC01 (1238 units), which may influence procurement decisions when rapid delivery is required.

Compliance Status: Both parts meet ROHS3 requirements and carry EAR99 ECCN classification, making them suitable for equivalent applications without additional compliance review.

Operational Equivalence: The parts are functionally interchangeable across all specified electrical and mechanical parameters, including operating temperature range, termination method, and connector configuration.

Insulation Material Differences: The AT04-08PB-EC01 uses Thermoplastic insulation material, while the DT04-08PB-E003 uses Polyamide (PA) Nylon with Glass Filling. Both materials are suitable for the specified operating temperature range.

Environmental Rating: The DT04-08PB-E003 includes IP68 and IP6K9K environmental protection ratings, which provide enhanced sealing characteristics compared to the base AT04-08PB-EC01 specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DT04-08PB-E003 be used as a direct replacement for the AT04-08PB-EC01?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications for connector type, position count, row configuration, mounting method, termination type, fastening mechanism, color, and operating temperature range. The parts are functionally equivalent for applications requiring 8-position rectangular connector receptacle housings.

Q: Are there differences in insulation material between these parts?

A: Yes. The AT04-08PB-EC01 uses Thermoplastic insulation, while the DT04-08PB-E003 uses Polyamide (PA) Nylon with Glass Filling. Both materials support the identical operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Material selection should be evaluated based on specific application requirements for mechanical strength and environmental exposure.

Q: Do both parts include contacts?

A: No. Both the AT04-08PB-EC01 and DT04-08PB-E003 are connector housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included with either part.

Q: What is the significance of the IP68 and IP6K9K ratings on the DT04-08PB-E003?

A: These ratings indicate enhanced environmental sealing performance. IP68 specifies protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water. IP6K9K specifies protection against high-pressure water jets. These ratings are additional features of the DT04-08PB-E003 and are not specified for the AT04-08PB-EC01.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the AT04-08PB-EC01 and DT04-08PB-E003 are ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for restricted substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Q: What is the difference in Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) between these parts?

A: The AT04-08PB-EC01 is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. The DT04-08PB-E003 lists MSL as Not Applicable, which is consistent with connector housing components that do not require moisture-sensitive handling protocols.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided that the application does not have specific requirements for insulation material type or environmental sealing ratings. The core electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, supporting direct substitution in connector assemblies.
