AT06-12SD-MM01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AT06-12SD-MM01 is a 12-position rectangular connector plug housing manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp. This connector is designed for applications requiring free-hanging, in-line plug configurations with crimp-terminated female socket contacts and latch lock fastening. The part is actively produced and maintained in inventory, with 1,342 units available in stock. Substitute parts are identified when original inventory becomes unavailable, when supply chain constraints occur, or when design flexibility permits cross-manufacturer compatibility within the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the AT06-12SD-MM01 is determined by strict equivalence across 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
• Product Status: Active

The DT06-12SD-CE05 manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors satisfies all mandatory matching parameters. Variations in color (Brown vs. Gray), insulation material composition (Thermoplastic vs. Polyamide PA66), and additional features (Blocked Gasket, IP68, IP6K9K ratings) do not prevent substitution when these enhanced or alternative specifications are acceptable for the application. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and actively produced.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AT06-12SD-MM01 Selection Criteria:

• Primary choice when Amphenol Sine Systems Corp supplier relationship is established
• Preferred when thermoplastic insulation material is specified in design documentation
• Suitable for applications where brown connector color is required for identification or assembly procedures
• Recommended when MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity is a design requirement
• Appropriate for standard sealed connector applications without enhanced IP rating requirements

DT06-12SD-CE05 Selection Criteria:

• Acceptable substitute when TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors supply chain is preferred
• Suitable when polyamide (PA66) glass-filled insulation provides superior mechanical or thermal performance
• Applicable for applications requiring IP68 and IP6K9K environmental protection ratings
• Appropriate when gray connector color is acceptable or preferred for visual identification
• Recommended when blocked gasket and reduced wire seal features align with application requirements

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and active production status, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory adherence. Selection between these parts is determined by supplier preference, specific environmental protection requirements, and material composition specifications rather than fundamental electrical or mechanical incompatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DT06-12SD-CE05 be used as a direct replacement for AT06-12SD-MM01 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes, the DT06-12SD-CE05 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the AT06-12SD-MM01 across all critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, position count, row arrangement, mounting method, termination type, and fastening mechanism. Both operate across the identical temperature range and maintain ROHS3 compliance. Physical differences in color and insulation material do not prevent functional substitution.

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

A: The primary differences are: (1) Manufacturer—Amphenol Sine Systems Corp versus TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors; (2) Color—Brown versus Gray; (3) Insulation material—Thermoplastic versus Polyamide (PA66) glass-filled; (4) Environmental features—the DT06-12SD-CE05 includes IP68 and IP6K9K ratings, blocked gasket, and reduced wire seals, while the AT06-12SD-MM01 provides standard sealed configuration. All other electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are contacts included with either connector housing?

A: No. Both the AT06-12SD-MM01 and DT06-12SD-CE05 are supplied as housings only. Contacts are not included and must be ordered separately. Ensure that selected contacts are compatible with crimp termination and the 12-position, 2-row configuration.

Q: What is the significance of the IP68 and IP6K9K ratings on the DT06-12SD-CE05?

A: IP68 indicates protection against continuous immersion in water up to specified depths. IP6K9K indicates protection against high-pressure water jets. These ratings are not present on the AT06-12SD-MM01, which provides standard sealed protection. Selection of the DT06-12SD-CE05 is appropriate only when these enhanced environmental protection levels are required by application specifications.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in the same harness assembly?

A: Yes, provided that the application does not have specific requirements for connector color, insulation material composition, or environmental protection ratings. Both connectors share identical electrical performance, mechanical interface dimensions, and operational characteristics. Harness assembly procedures, crimping specifications, and contact insertion methods remain consistent between the two parts.

Q: What is the difference between MSL 1 and "Not Applicable" moisture sensitivity levels?

A: The AT06-12SD-MM01 carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling. The DT06-12SD-CE05 lists MSL as Not Applicable, which typically indicates that moisture sensitivity is not a controlling factor for this component type or that the manufacturer does not apply MSL classification to this product line. This difference does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both the AT06-12SD-MM01 and DT06-12SD-CE05 operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Temperature performance is equivalent, and selection between these parts is not determined by thermal operating requirements.
