AT06-3S-YEL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AT06-3S-YEL is a 3-position rectangular connector plug housing manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp as part of the AT Series™ product line. This sealed, thermoplastic connector housing features female socket contacts with crimp termination and latch lock fastening, designed for free-hanging in-line mounting applications. The part is Active in product status with 2114 units in current inventory stock.

Substitute parts become necessary when specific color coding requirements differ from the primary yellow housing, when inventory availability fluctuates, or when system design specifications mandate alternative color identification for circuit distinction or organizational purposes. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, differing only in housing color.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AT06-3S-YEL is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute parts AT06-3S-BLU and AT06-3S-GRN are direct functional equivalents that maintain identical specifications in the following critical areas:

Substitution-Determining Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Contact type (Female Socket)
• Number of positions (3)
• Number of rows (2)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Lock)
• Sealed feature
• Insulation material (Thermoplastic)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99)
• Moisture sensitivity level (1 - Unlimited)

The only parameter that varies among these parts is housing color. All substitute parts share the same base product number (AT06-3S) and are manufactured by the same supplier within the same product series. This color-only differentiation allows for direct substitution in applications where color coding serves organizational or identification purposes without affecting electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—AT06-3S-YEL, AT06-3S-BLU, and AT06-3S-GRN—are Active products manufactured by Amphenol Sine Systems Corp and carry identical compliance certifications. Each part is ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99, making them equivalent from a regulatory and standards perspective.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

1. Color Coding Requirements: Choose the housing color that aligns with system design specifications or organizational color-coding standards.

2. Inventory Availability: AT06-3S-YEL maintains the highest inventory level at 2114 units, followed by AT06-3S-GRN at 1228 units and AT06-3S-BLU at 828 units.

3. Application Specifications: All parts function identically across electrical and mechanical parameters, supporting the same operating temperature range, contact configuration, and termination methods.

No performance differentiation exists between these parts. The choice is purely functional based on color identification needs and stock availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AT06-3S-BLU or AT06-3S-GRN be used as direct replacements for AT06-3S-YEL?

A: Yes. Both AT06-3S-BLU and AT06-3S-GRN are direct functional equivalents to AT06-3S-YEL. They share identical electrical specifications, mechanical configuration, contact arrangement, termination method, and operating parameters. The only difference is housing color.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the yellow, blue, and green housing variants?

A: No. All three variants maintain identical electrical characteristics, including contact type (female socket), number of positions (3), row configuration (2 rows), crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. Housing color does not affect electrical performance.

Q: Do all three parts support the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. AT06-3S-YEL, AT06-3S-BLU, and AT06-3S-GRN all operate across the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting the same regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: All three parts have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life without special moisture control requirements.

Q: Do these connector housings include contacts?

A: No. All three parts are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately.

Q: What is the difference in current inventory between the three variants?

A: AT06-3S-YEL has 2114 units in stock, AT06-3S-GRN has 1228 units, and AT06-3S-BLU has 828 units. Inventory levels may influence selection when immediate availability is a consideration.

Q: Can these connectors be used in sealed applications?

A: Yes. All three variants feature sealed construction, making them suitable for applications requiring environmental protection.

Q: What mounting configuration do these connectors support?

A: All three parts are configured for free-hanging in-line mounting, allowing direct integration into cable assemblies without additional mounting hardware.
