AT06-12SD-EC01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AT06-12SD-EC01 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 classified as an active product. The housing is designed for free-hanging, in-line applications with crimp-type female socket contacts and latch lock fastening. The brown thermoplastic housing operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and includes a protective cap cover. This part is supplied without contacts included.

Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part is unavailable, when inventory constraints require alternative sourcing, or when design specifications allow for functionally compatible alternatives from different manufacturers that meet the same electrical and mechanical requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector housings is determined by strict alignment of core electrical and mechanical parameters. The AT06-12SD-EC01 can be substituted with the DT06-12SD-EP06 based on the following matching criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Both are plug housings
• Contact Type: Both accommodate female socket contacts
• Number of Positions: Both are 12-position configurations
• Number of Rows: Both feature 2-row layouts
• Mounting Type: Both are free-hanging, in-line designs
• Contact Termination: Both use crimp termination
• Fastening Type: Both employ latch lock mechanisms
• Operating Temperature Range: Both operate from -55°C to 125°C
• RoHS Compliance: Both are ROHS3 compliant
• REACH Status: Both are REACH unaffected
• ECCN Classification: Both are classified as EAR99
• HTSUS Code: Both share the same tariff classification (8536.69.8000)

These aligned parameters establish functional and regulatory equivalence between the two connector housings, allowing for direct substitution in applications where the specific housing color and insulation material differences do not impact system performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the AT06-12SD-EC01 and DT06-12SD-EP06 are active products with current manufacturing status and full regulatory compliance. Selection between these two connector housings should be based on the following engineering considerations:

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts meet ROHS3 and REACH requirements, making them suitable for applications subject to environmental regulations. Both are classified under the same ECCN and HTSUS codes, ensuring consistent export and tariff treatment.

Thermal Performance: Both housings operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, ensuring thermal compatibility in applications requiring extended operating ranges.

Material Composition: The AT06-12SD-EC01 uses thermoplastic insulation, while the DT06-12SD-EP06 employs glass-filled polyamide (PA66/Nylon 6/6). The glass-filled material in the substitute part provides enhanced mechanical strength and dimensional stability under thermal stress.

Environmental Protection: The DT06-12SD-EP06 includes blocked gasket and IP68/IP6K9K ratings, indicating superior environmental sealing compared to the AT06-12SD-EC01. This makes the TE Connectivity part preferable for applications requiring enhanced moisture and pressure resistance.

Availability: The DT06-12SD-EP06 currently has higher inventory availability (1753 pieces) compared to the AT06-12SD-EC01 (987 pieces), which may influence sourcing decisions based on project timelines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DT06-12SD-EP06 directly replace the AT06-12SD-EC01 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 12-position, 2-row configuration, crimp termination, latch lock fastening, and operating temperature range. The housings are functionally equivalent for connector mating and contact retention purposes.

Q: What are the differences between these two connector housings?

A: The primary differences are housing color (brown versus gray), insulation material composition (thermoplastic versus glass-filled polyamide), and environmental protection features. The DT06-12SD-EP06 includes blocked gasket and IP68/IP6K9K ratings, providing enhanced sealing against moisture and high-pressure water jets.

Q: Are contacts included with either connector housing?

A: No. Both the AT06-12SD-EC01 and DT06-12SD-EP06 are supplied as housings only, without contacts included. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to manufacturer specifications.

Q: Do these connectors require different contact types?

A: No. Both housings accommodate the same female socket contact type and use identical crimp termination methods. Contacts designed for one housing are compatible with the other.

Q: Which connector is better for outdoor or high-moisture applications?

A: The DT06-12SD-EP06 is better suited for outdoor and high-moisture environments due to its blocked gasket design and IP68/IP6K9K environmental protection ratings. The AT06-12SD-EC01 does not specify these environmental protection features.

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

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export purposes. Both share the same HTSUS tariff code (8536.69.8000).

Q: Can I mix contacts from different manufacturers with these housings?

A: Contacts must be compatible with the specific housing design. While both housings use crimp termination and accommodate female socket contacts, contact compatibility should be verified against the housing manufacturer's specifications and contact part numbers.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level difference between these parts?

A: The AT06-12SD-EC01 has an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. The DT06-12SD-EP06 lists MSL as Not Applicable, which is typical for connectors with sealed or gasket designs that do not absorb moisture.
