AT06-12SC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AT06-12SC is a 12-position rectangular connector plug housing manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp. This connector belongs to 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 actively produced and maintains full inventory availability. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design flexibility permits component interchange based on equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DT06-12SC qualifies as a direct substitute for the AT06-12SC based on the following equivalent parameters:

• Connector Type: Both are plug housings
• Contact Type: Both feature female socket contacts
• Number of Positions: Both accommodate 12 positions
• Number of Rows: Both are configured with 2 rows
• Mounting Type: Both are free-hanging in-line designs
• Contact Termination: Both utilize crimp termination
• Fastening Type: Both employ latch lock fastening
• Operating Temperature Range: Both operate across -55°C ~ 125°C
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected

The DT06-12SC is manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors and represents an equivalent rectangular connector housing that maintains functional and mechanical compatibility with the AT06-12SC within the specified parameter constraints.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the AT06-12SC and DT06-12SC are active products with current manufacturing status and full regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts is based on the following engineering considerations:

AT06-12SC (Amphenol Sine Systems Corp)

• Primary choice when green housing color is specified in design documentation
• Suitable for applications where sealed connector design is the primary requirement
• Maintains unlimited moisture sensitivity level classification

DT06-12SC (TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors)

• Alternative selection when gray housing color is acceptable
• Provides enhanced environmental protection through IP68 and IP6K9K ratings
• Equivalent electrical and mechanical performance across all critical parameters
• Both parts maintain identical operating temperature range and regulatory certifications

Component selection should be driven by design specifications regarding housing color, environmental protection requirements, and supply chain availability. Both parts satisfy the core functional requirements of 12-position, 2-row, crimp-terminated, latch-lock plug housings with female socket contacts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DT06-12SC replace the AT06-12SC in existing designs?

A: Yes, the DT06-12SC is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the AT06-12SC across all critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, position count, row arrangement, mounting style, termination method, and fastening mechanism. Both operate across the identical temperature range and maintain equivalent regulatory compliance. The primary design consideration is housing color difference (green versus gray) and enhanced environmental protection features in the DT06-12SC.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by equivalence in the following 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), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Both parts meet these criteria.

Q: Are there differences in environmental sealing between these parts?

A: The AT06-12SC is specified as sealed. The DT06-12SC provides additional environmental protection specifications with IP68 and IP6K9K ratings. Both designs provide sealed connector functionality; the DT06-12SC includes explicit ingress protection classifications.

Q: Do these connectors include contacts?

A: No. Both the AT06-12SC and DT06-12SC are housing-only components. Contacts must be procured separately and are not included with either part.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the AT06-12SC and DT06-12SC are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: What is the significance of the different insulation materials?

A: The AT06-12SC uses thermoplastic insulation material while the DT06-12SC uses plastic insulation material. Both materials are functionally equivalent for the specified operating temperature range and environmental conditions. Material selection does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Can housing color be a determining factor in part selection?

A: Yes. The AT06-12SC features green housing while the DT06-12SC features gray housing. If design documentation specifies a particular housing color for identification or system integration purposes, this parameter must be considered in component selection.
