AT04-12PC-PM16 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AT04-12PC-PM16 is a 12-position rectangular connector receptacle housing manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp, part of the PanelMate™ AT series. This panel-mount connector features a green thermoplastic housing with IP67 rating, mounting flange, reduced wire seals, and strain relief. The connector accepts male pin contacts via crimp termination and employs a latch holder fastening mechanism.

This part is classified as Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Substitute parts are necessary when specific color requirements, inventory availability, or application-specific housing material preferences necessitate alternative housing variants within the same electrical and mechanical specification class.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The AT04-12PC-PM16 and its substitute parts form a parametric equivalency group within the PanelMate™ AT series. All parts in this group share identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the following critical parameters:

• 12-position receptacle housing configuration
• 2-row connector layout
• Panel mount installation method
• Crimp contact termination
• Latch holder fastening mechanism
• Thermoplastic insulation material
• -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range
• IP67 environmental protection rating
• Mounting flange, reduced wire seals, and strain relief features
• ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

The only variable parameter among substitute parts is the housing color: Green (AT04-12PC-PM16), Gray (AT04-12PA-PM16), Black (AT04-12PB-PM16), and Brown (AT04-12PD-PM16). Color variation does not affect electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, or environmental ratings. All substitute parts are manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp and maintain Active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts within this equivalency group maintain identical electrical and mechanical performance characteristics. Selection between AT04-12PC-PM16, AT04-12PA-PM16, AT04-12PB-PM16, and AT04-12PD-PM16 is determined by application-specific color requirements and inventory availability.

Each part carries Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation, confirming regulatory compliance across all variants. The thermoplastic housing material, IP67 environmental rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range are consistent across all substitute options.

For applications where housing color is not a functional requirement, part selection may be based on inventory availability. AT04-12PD-PM16 (Brown) and AT04-12PB-PM16 (Black) currently maintain the highest inventory levels at 1177 and 1141 pieces respectively. AT04-12PC-PM16 (Green) maintains 1086 pieces in stock, while AT04-12PA-PM16 (Gray) maintains 824 pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are all four connector variants electrically identical?

A: Yes. AT04-12PC-PM16, AT04-12PA-PM16, AT04-12PB-PM16, and AT04-12PD-PM16 share identical electrical specifications, contact configurations, and performance ratings. Housing color is the only differentiating parameter.

Q: Can I substitute AT04-12PC-PM16 (Green) with AT04-12PB-PM16 (Black) in my application?

A: Substitution is valid when housing color is not a functional requirement. Both parts feature identical 12-position receptacle configurations, panel mount installation, crimp termination, latch holder fastening, and operating temperature ranges of -55°C to 125°C.

Q: Do all substitute parts require the same contact pins?

A: Yes. All four housing variants accept identical male pin contacts via crimp termination. Contact specifications remain consistent across the entire equivalency group. Note that contacts are not included with housing purchases.

Q: What is the significance of the IP67 rating across all variants?

A: IP67 rating indicates dust-tight and temporary immersion protection (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes) across all four connector variants. This environmental protection specification is maintained regardless of housing color selection.

Q: Are there any temperature performance differences between color variants?

A: No. All four parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Housing color does not affect thermal performance or temperature ratings.

Q: Do all variants comply with the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. AT04-12PC-PM16, AT04-12PA-PM16, AT04-12PB-PM16, and AT04-12PD-PM16 all maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Regulatory compliance is consistent across all color variants.

Q: What is the difference between the base product numbers and the full part numbers?

A: Base product numbers (AT04-12PC, AT04-12PA, AT04-12PB, AT04-12PD) identify the housing variant. The full part numbers append "-PM16" to indicate the specific connector configuration. The PM16 suffix denotes the 12-position panel mount receptacle housing designation.

Q: Can I mix different colored housings in the same assembly?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility exists between all four variants. Assembly decisions involving mixed colors depend on application-specific requirements and design specifications not addressed by electrical or mechanical parameters.
