DT04-12PD Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The DT04-12PD is a 12-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. This receptacle connector is designed for free-hanging in-line applications with crimp termination and latch holder fastening. The connector operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and is ROHS3 compliant. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or specific application packaging requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DT04-12PD is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (12)
• Pitch specification (0.359" / 9.12mm)
• Row configuration (2 rows with 0.175" / 4.45mm spacing)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Holder)
• Housing color (Brown)

Environmental Compliance:

• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• RoHS3 compliance status

The AT04-12PD from Amphenol Sine Systems Corp qualifies as an equivalent substitute based on matching connector type, position count, row configuration, mounting type, termination method, fastening type, color, and operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the DT04-12PD and AT04-12PD are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Inventory and Availability: The DT04-12PD has 1393 pieces in stock with box packaging, while the AT04-12PD has 1270 pieces available in bulk packaging.

Compliance Certification: Both parts meet ROHS3 requirements and carry EAR99 ECCN classification with identical HTSUS codes (8538.90.6000).

Packaging Consideration: The DT04-12PD is supplied in box packaging, whereas the AT04-12PD is supplied in bulk packaging. Application requirements may dictate packaging preference.

Contact Inclusion: The AT04-12PD specification notes that contacts are not included with the housing. Verify contact requirements for your application.

Both parts are suitable for applications requiring 12-position rectangular connectors with crimp termination and latch fastening across the specified temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AT04-12PD directly replace the DT04-12PD in my application?

A: The AT04-12PD matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the DT04-12PD, including connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, termination method, and fastening mechanism. Both operate across -55°C to 125°C and are ROHS3 compliant. Substitution is valid based on these parameters. Note that the AT04-12PD housing does not include contacts.

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

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: 12-position receptacle configuration, male pin contact type, 0.359" (9.12mm) pitch, 2-row layout with 0.175" (4.45mm) row spacing, free-hanging in-line mounting, crimp termination, latch holder fastening, brown color, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range.

Q: Does packaging type affect electrical or mechanical compatibility?

A: Packaging type (box versus bulk) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Packaging selection is based on inventory management, handling requirements, and application logistics.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both the DT04-12PD and AT04-12PD are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. No compliance differences exist between these parts.

Q: What should I verify before substituting the AT04-12PD for the DT04-12PD?

A: Verify that your application does not require pre-assembled contacts, as the AT04-12PD housing is supplied without contacts. Confirm that bulk packaging meets your handling and storage requirements. Validate that both manufacturers' contact specifications match your wire gauge and termination requirements.
