AT06-08SB Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The AT06-08SB is an 8-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp, classified within the AT Series™ product line. This plug housing accommodates female socket contacts with crimp termination and latch lock fastening, designed for free-hanging in-line mounting applications. The connector operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and features sealed construction with thermoplastic insulation material.

The AT06-08SB maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Substitute parts become necessary when addressing supply chain constraints, inventory availability, or when system design requires enhanced environmental protection features available in alternative connector families.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AT06-08SB is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory 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
• Color: Black
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C

The substitute parts DT06-08SB and DT06-08SB-P012, both manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors, satisfy all mandatory matching parameters. Both substitutes maintain the same connector configuration, contact arrangement, and thermal operating envelope as the primary part. The DT06-08SB-P012 variant includes enhanced seal features (IP68, IP6K9K) in addition to the standard IP68 and IP6K9K ratings present in the DT06-08SB, providing increased environmental protection options while preserving core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AT06-08SB (Primary Part): The AT06-08SB remains the specified component when original design requirements call for Amphenol Sine Systems Corp AT Series™ connectors. This part maintains Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Current inventory of 1188 pieces supports immediate procurement.

DT06-08SB (Direct Substitute): The DT06-08SB functions as a direct functional equivalent, manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. This substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering IP68 and IP6K9K environmental protection ratings. The part is ROHS3 compliant with Active product status. Inventory availability of 1180 pieces supports production requirements. Selection of this substitute is appropriate when TE Connectivity Deutsch connector family standardization is preferred or when supply of the primary part is constrained.

DT06-08SB-P012 (Enhanced Substitute): The DT06-08SB-P012 provides the same core functionality as DT06-08SB with the addition of enhanced seal features. This variant maintains all mandatory compatibility parameters while offering increased environmental protection. ROHS3 compliance and Active product status are confirmed. Inventory of 1164 pieces is available. This substitute is selected when system design specifications require enhanced sealing performance beyond standard sealed construction.

All three parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and are classified under EAR99 export control. Selection between these options depends on supply availability, connector family standardization requirements, and environmental protection specifications of the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DT06-08SB and DT06-08SB-P012 be used interchangeably with AT06-08SB?

A: Yes. Both TE Connectivity Deutsch substitutes match all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters of the AT06-08SB, including connector type, contact configuration, position count, row arrangement, mounting method, termination type, fastening mechanism, color, and operating temperature range. Physical and electrical compatibility is established through parameter alignment.

Q: What is the difference between DT06-08SB and DT06-08SB-P012?

A: Both parts share identical core specifications. The DT06-08SB-P012 includes enhanced seal features in addition to the standard IP68 and IP6K9K environmental protection ratings present in the DT06-08SB. Selection between these variants depends on whether enhanced sealing performance is required by system design specifications.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three parts (AT06-08SB, DT06-08SB, and DT06-08SB-P012) are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be procured separately. Ensure selected contacts are compatible with crimp termination and the 8-position, 2-row configuration.

Q: What insulation material differences exist between the primary part and substitutes?

A: The AT06-08SB uses thermoplastic insulation material. Both TE Connectivity Deutsch substitutes (DT06-08SB and DT06-08SB-P012) use polyamide (PA) nylon with glass filling. Both material compositions support the identical -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range and maintain ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The AT06-08SB, DT06-08SB, and DT06-08SB-P012 are all ROHS3 compliant. All three parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and are classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level (MSL) for the substitute parts?

A: The DT06-08SB and DT06-08SB-P012 are listed as Not Applicable for MSL, indicating these parts do not require moisture sensitivity precautions during storage and handling. The primary AT06-08SB carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), which also indicates no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: Can I mix connector housings from different manufacturers in the same assembly?

A: Connector housings from different manufacturers can be used in the same assembly provided all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters align, as confirmed in this reference. However, verify that mated connector plugs and receptacles are compatible across manufacturer families, as some connector systems require matched pairs from the same manufacturer.
