AT04-12PD-PM15 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AT04-12PD-PM15 is a 12-position rectangular connector receptacle housing manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp as part of the PanelMate™ AT series. This panel-mount receptacle is designed for applications requiring sealed, IP67-rated connections with crimp termination and latch holder fastening. The part is actively produced and maintained in inventory, with 1,167 units currently available. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required but alternative housing colors or configurations are acceptable for system integration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AT04-12PD-PM15 is determined by electrical and mechanical compatibility within the PanelMate™ AT series. The following parameters must remain constant for valid substitution:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (12)
• Number of rows (2)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening type (Latch Holder)
• Feature set (IP67, Mounting Flange, Sealed, Strain Relief)
• Insulation material (Thermoplastic)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Series designation (PanelMate™ AT)

The AT04-12PA-PM15 qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute. The only difference between these parts is the housing color (Brown for AT04-12PD-PM15 versus Gray for AT04-12PA-PM15). All electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications are identical. This color variation does not affect functional performance or system compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both AT04-12PD-PM15 and AT04-12PA-PM15 are active products with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compliance for current and future applications. Selection between these parts should be based on system design requirements and color-coding specifications for panel identification or visual organization.

The AT04-12PD-PM15 (Brown housing) and AT04-12PA-PM15 (Gray housing) are functionally and mechanically interchangeable. The choice between them depends solely on whether the application requires a specific housing color for system integration, panel labeling conventions, or visual differentiation within a larger assembly.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, environmental sealing (IP67), temperature operating range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and mechanical fastening characteristics. Inventory availability should be considered as a secondary factor: AT04-12PD-PM15 has 1,167 units in stock, while AT04-12PA-PM15 has 748 units in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AT04-12PA-PM15 be used as a direct replacement for AT04-12PD-PM15?

A: Yes. The AT04-12PA-PM15 is a parametric equivalent substitute. All electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications are identical. The only difference is the housing color (Gray versus Brown). If color coding is not a system requirement, this part provides full functional equivalence.

Q: Are there any performance differences between the Brown and Gray housing versions?

A: No. The housing color does not affect electrical performance, sealing integrity, temperature rating, or mechanical fastening. Both versions deliver identical IP67 protection, operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and crimp termination reliability.

Q: Do both parts require the same contact pins?

A: Yes. Both AT04-12PD-PM15 and AT04-12PA-PM15 are receptacle housings with Male Pin contact type and Crimp termination. They accept identical contact pins. The note "Contacts Not Included" applies to both parts.

Q: What is the significance of the base product numbers AT04-12PD and AT04-12PA?

A: The base product numbers identify the housing variant within the PanelMate™ AT series. The suffix "-PM15" indicates the specific panel mount configuration. The letter designation (PD for Brown, PA for Gray) distinguishes the color variant while maintaining all other specifications.

Q: Are both parts suitable for sealed, outdoor applications?

A: Yes. Both AT04-12PD-PM15 and AT04-12PA-PM15 feature IP67 rating, sealed construction, and strain relief. They are suitable for applications requiring protection against dust and water ingress. The operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C supports outdoor and industrial environments.

Q: What is the mounting configuration for these parts?

A: Both parts are Panel Mount receptacles with a Mounting Flange and Latch Holder fastening type. They are designed for installation into panel cutouts with secure mechanical retention through the latch mechanism.
