AT06-3S-EC01 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AT06-3S-EC01 is a 3-position rectangular connector plug housing manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp. This connector is designed for applications requiring crimp termination with latch lock fastening and operates across an extended temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is actively produced and maintains full RoHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected status.

Substitute parts become necessary when primary inventory is unavailable, when alternative manufacturers are preferred for supply chain diversification, or when application-specific features such as enhanced sealing ratings or alternative insulation materials are required while maintaining core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AT06-3S-EC01 is determined by strict alignment across the following core parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 3
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C

The identified substitute parts DT06-3S-E003 and DT06-3S-EP06 satisfy all critical matching parameters. Both are manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors and maintain identical connector configuration, termination method, and thermal operating specifications. Variations in secondary features such as color, insulation material composition, and sealing ratings do not affect core substitution eligibility but may influence selection based on application-specific requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active production status and full regulatory compliance under RoHS3 and REACH standards. Selection between the main part and substitutes is based on the following engineering considerations:

AT06-3S-EC01 (Amphenol Sine Systems Corp): Primary selection when Amphenol supply chain preference is established or when thermoplastic insulation material is specified. Maintains standard cap cover feature with unlimited moisture sensitivity handling.

DT06-3S-E003 (TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors): Direct substitute with identical gray color and thermoplastic insulation. Provides enhanced sealing capability through IP68 and IP6K9K ratings. Suitable for applications requiring improved environmental protection while maintaining material consistency with the primary part.

DT06-3S-EP06 (TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors): Substitute with enhanced environmental sealing through blocked gasket design and IP68/IP6K9K ratings. Features glass-filled polyamide insulation material, providing increased mechanical strength and thermal stability. Black color differentiation may require consideration in applications with color-coded connector systems. Moisture sensitivity level classification differs from primary part.

Selection among these parts depends on supply availability, manufacturer preference, environmental sealing requirements, and insulation material specifications for the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DT06-3S-E003 and DT06-3S-EP06 be used interchangeably with AT06-3S-EC01?

A: Both TE Connectivity parts satisfy all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for substitution. Core compatibility is established through matching connector type, contact configuration, position count, termination method, and operating temperature range. Secondary feature differences such as color and sealing ratings do not affect core substitution eligibility.

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

A: IP68 indicates protection against continuous immersion in water beyond 1 meter depth. IP6K9K indicates protection against high-pressure water jets. These ratings represent enhanced environmental sealing capabilities not specified on the primary AT06-3S-EC01 part. Applications requiring these sealing levels should specify DT06-3S-E003 or DT06-3S-EP06.

Q: Does the insulation material difference between AT06-3S-EC01 and DT06-3S-EP06 affect compatibility?

A: Both thermoplastic and glass-filled polyamide insulation materials operate across the identical -55°C to 125°C temperature range. The glass-filled polyamide in DT06-3S-EP06 provides enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability. Material selection depends on application-specific mechanical stress and thermal cycling requirements.

Q: Why does DT06-3S-EP06 have "Not Applicable" for Moisture Sensitivity Level?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level classification applies primarily to components sensitive to moisture absorption during storage and handling. The blocked gasket design and enhanced sealing of DT06-3S-EP06 eliminate moisture sensitivity concerns, resulting in "Not Applicable" classification rather than a numerical MSL rating.

Q: Can color differences between gray (AT06-3S-EC01 and DT06-3S-E003) and black (DT06-3S-EP06) affect system performance?

A: Color is a cosmetic and identification feature without impact on electrical or mechanical performance. However, applications utilizing color-coded connector systems for circuit identification or safety protocols must account for the black color of DT06-3S-EP06 during integration planning.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: All three parts are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately. Ensure selected contacts are compatible with the 14-20 AWG wire gauge specification and crimp termination method.
