AT06-08SA-EC01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AT06-08SA-EC01 is an 8-position rectangular connector plug housing manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp. This connector is part of the AT Series™ product line and is classified as an active product. The housing accommodates female socket contacts with crimp termination and features a latch lock fastening mechanism. The connector is designed for free-hanging, in-line mounting applications and includes a protective cap cover. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or application-specific feature needs necessitate alternative connector housings that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility within the same connector category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the AT06-08SA-EC01 are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• 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
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

All substitute parts listed maintain these core parameters. Variations in insulation material composition, additional protective features (such as IP68/IP6K9K ratings or blocked gaskets), and manufacturer differences do not affect substitution eligibility when all critical parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three connector housings—AT06-08SA-EC01, DT06-08SA-E003, and DT06-08SA-EP06—are active products with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is determined by application requirements and availability:

AT06-08SA-EC01 (Amphenol Sine Systems Corp): Primary selection when Amphenol AT Series™ ecosystem integration is required. Thermoplastic insulation material. Standard cap cover feature. Current inventory: 1535 units.

DT06-08SA-E003 (TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors): Alternative selection offering enhanced environmental protection through IP68 and IP6K9K ratings. Polyamide insulation with glass filling provides improved mechanical durability. Standard cap cover feature. Current inventory: 3999 units.

DT06-08SA-EP06 (TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors): Alternative selection with blocked gasket feature in addition to IP68 and IP6K9K ratings, providing enhanced sealing capability. Polyamide insulation with glass filling. Current inventory: 1718 units.

All three parts support identical electrical and mechanical interface requirements: 8-position, 2-row configuration with crimp termination, latch lock fastening, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DT06-08SA-E003 or DT06-08SA-EP06 be used as direct replacements for AT06-08SA-EC01?

A: Yes. Both TE Connectivity parts maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 8-position plug housing with female socket contacts, 2-row configuration, crimp termination, latch lock fastening, gray color, and identical operating temperature range. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the difference between DT06-08SA-E003 and DT06-08SA-EP06?

A: Both parts share the same core specifications and IP68/IP6K9K environmental protection ratings. The primary distinction is that DT06-08SA-EP06 includes a blocked gasket feature, providing enhanced sealing capability. Both use polyamide insulation with glass filling.

Q: Are the contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three connector housings are supplied without contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to manufacturer specifications.

Q: Do these connectors support the same wire gauge?

A: The AT06-08SA-EC01 is specified for 14-20 AWG wire. The substitute parts (DT06-08SA-E003 and DT06-08SA-EP06) do not specify wire gauge in the provided parameters. Wire gauge compatibility must be verified against the specific contact part numbers selected for use with each housing.

Q: What is the significance of the IP68 and IP6K9K ratings on the TE Connectivity parts?

A: IP68 indicates protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water. IP6K9K indicates protection against high-pressure water jets. These ratings are additional environmental protection features not present on the AT06-08SA-EC01 and should be considered when application environment requires enhanced moisture or pressure resistance.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for the same temperature range?

A: Yes. All three connector housings operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between the parts?

A: AT06-08SA-EC01 uses thermoplastic insulation. Both DT06-08SA-E003 and DT06-08SA-EP06 use polyamide (PA) nylon with glass filling, which provides enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability.
