AT06-12SA-RD01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AT06-12SA-RD01 is a 12-position rectangular connector plug housing manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp. This connector is part of the AT Series™ product line and is designed for applications requiring sealed, free-hanging in-line connections with crimp termination and latch lock fastening. The part is currently active and available in bulk packaging with 2990 units in stock.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or when design requirements allow for alternative connector housings that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility within the same application parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AT06-12SA-RD01 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 12
• 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 Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

Allowable Variations:

• Insulation Material composition (Thermoplastic, Plastic, or Polyamide/Nylon/Glass Filled)
• Features (Sealed vs. IP68, IP6K9K, Reduced Wire Seals)
• Manufacturer and series designation
• Moisture Sensitivity Level classification

The substitute parts DT06-12SA-C015 and DT06-12SA-CE06 meet all mandatory matching parameters and are therefore qualified as direct equivalents for the AT06-12SA-RD01.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both DT06-12SA-C015 and DT06-12SA-CE06 are qualified substitutes for the AT06-12SA-RD01 based on compliance and product status criteria.

AT06-12SA-RD01 (Primary Part):

• ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, Active status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Current inventory: 2990 units

DT06-12SA-C015 (Substitute Option 1):

• ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, Active status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Not Applicable
• Current inventory: 1139 units
• Enhanced sealing features: IP68, IP6K9K, Reduced Wire Seals

DT06-12SA-CE06 (Substitute Option 2):

• ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, Active status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Not Applicable
• Current inventory: 875 units
• Enhanced sealing features: IP68, IP6K9K, Reduced Wire Seals
• Glass-filled nylon insulation material

All three parts satisfy regulatory requirements and maintain active product status. Selection between these options depends on application-specific requirements regarding insulation material composition and environmental sealing performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DT06-12SA-C015 or DT06-12SA-CE06 be used as direct replacements for AT06-12SA-RD01?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts match all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters: 12-position plug housing with female socket contacts, 2-row configuration, crimp termination, latch lock fastening, gray color, and identical operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What are the differences between the substitute parts?

A: DT06-12SA-C015 uses plastic insulation material, while DT06-12SA-CE06 uses polyamide (PA) nylon with glass filling. Both TE Connectivity parts feature enhanced sealing specifications (IP68, IP6K9K, Reduced Wire Seals) compared to the Amphenol part's sealed designation. The Amphenol AT06-12SA-RD01 uses thermoplastic insulation.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three parts—AT06-12SA-RD01, DT06-12SA-C015, and DT06-12SA-CE06—are supplied as housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included in the package.

Q: Do the substitute parts require different contact types?

A: No. All three parts accept the same crimp-terminated female socket contacts designed for 14-20 AWG wire. Contact compatibility is maintained across all three housing options.

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

A: These ratings indicate enhanced environmental protection. IP68 specifies protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water. IP6K9K specifies protection against high-pressure water jets. These ratings represent an upgrade in sealing performance compared to the standard sealed designation of the primary part.

Q: Can I mix and match these connector housings in the same application?

A: Yes, provided the application design accommodates the physical and material differences. The substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications, allowing them to function interchangeably in circuits designed for 12-position, 2-row, crimp-terminated plug housings with latch lock fastening.

Q: What is the difference between thermoplastic and polyamide insulation materials?

A: Thermoplastic (AT06-12SA-RD01) offers general-purpose insulation properties. Polyamide nylon with glass filling (DT06-12SA-CE06) provides enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability. Selection depends on application-specific mechanical stress and temperature cycling requirements.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Regulatory compliance is identical across all options.
