Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the AT06-08SB-EC01 and DT06-08SB-EP06 maintain active product status with full ROHS3 and REACH compliance. Selection between these parts is determined by application-specific requirements and supply chain considerations.

The AT06-08SB-EC01 carries MSL 1 rating (unlimited moisture sensitivity level) and is available in bulk packaging with 740 units in current inventory. The DT06-08SB-EP06 is classified as MSL Not Applicable and maintains higher inventory availability at 2424 units.

The DT06-08SB-EP06 incorporates additional environmental features including blocked gasket design and IP68/IP6K9K ratings, which provide enhanced sealing and protection in harsh operating conditions. The insulation material specification differs, with the DT06-08SB-EP06 utilizing glass-filled polyamide versus the thermoplastic composition of the AT06-08SB-EC01.

Both connectors are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.8000 for export and tariff purposes. Selection should be based on specific application environmental requirements, connector interface compatibility with mating components, and inventory availability timelines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DT06-08SB-EP06 directly replace the AT06-08SB-EC01 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes, the DT06-08SB-EP06 is electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters. Both connectors feature 8-position, 2-row configurations with female socket contacts, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. Compatibility is confirmed for free-hanging in-line mounting applications within the -55°C to 125°C operating range.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between these two connectors?

A: The AT06-08SB-EC01 uses thermoplastic insulation material, while the DT06-08SB-EP06 uses polyamide (PA) nylon with glass reinforcement. Both materials are suitable for the specified operating temperature range and environmental conditions. The glass-filled polyamide in the DT06-08SB-EP06 provides enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability.

Q: Are there differences in environmental protection ratings?

A: The DT06-08SB-EP06 includes blocked gasket design with IP68 and IP6K9K ratings, providing enhanced sealing and protection against water ingress and high-pressure water jets. The AT06-08SB-EC01 specifications do not include these environmental protection ratings. Selection should reflect application exposure requirements.

Q: Do both connectors require separate contact purchases?

A: Yes, both the AT06-08SB-EC01 and DT06-08SB-EP06 are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be ordered separately. Ensure contact specifications match the 8-position, female socket, crimp termination requirements.

Q: What is the significance of MSL rating differences?

A: The AT06-08SB-EC01 carries MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), indicating no moisture-related storage or handling restrictions. The DT06-08SB-EP06 is classified as MSL Not Applicable, indicating the component is not moisture-sensitive. Both ratings are suitable for standard industrial storage and handling conditions.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for high-vibration or shock applications?

A: Both connectors feature latch lock fastening mechanisms designed for secure connection retention. The DT06-08SB-EP06 glass-filled polyamide insulation provides enhanced mechanical durability. Application-specific vibration and shock testing should be conducted based on system requirements.
