Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DT04-2P-RT01 maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability of 2900 pieces in new original condition. This part carries full ROHS3 compliance and REACH regulatory status, meeting current environmental and safety standards for industrial and commercial applications.

When evaluating component selection for systems currently utilizing the DT04-2P-RT01, the following factors should guide decision-making:

Product Continuity: Active status ensures ongoing manufacturer support, technical documentation availability, and consistent supply chain access.

Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 and REACH compliance certifications confirm suitability for markets with strict environmental regulations. These certifications remain valid for the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Sealing Performance: The IP68 and IP6K9K protection ratings establish this component for sealed applications requiring resistance to dust ingress and high-pressure water jets. These specifications are integral to the connector design and must be matched in any alternative selection.

Mechanical Compatibility: The latch holder fastening mechanism and crimp termination method are specific design features that determine compatibility with mating connectors and cable assembly processes. Substitution requires identical mechanical interfaces.

No alternative parts meeting all specified parameters have been provided for comparison. Direct procurement of the DT04-2P-RT01 remains the specified selection for applications requiring this exact configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes the DT04-2P-RT01 suitable for sealed applications?

A: The DT04-2P-RT01 incorporates IP68 and IP6K9K protection ratings. IP68 certification indicates complete dust protection and submersion capability to specified depths. IP6K9K rating provides protection against high-pressure water jets. These features are integrated into the housing design and sealing mechanisms.

Q: Can the DT04-2P-RT01 be used in temperature-critical applications?

A: The operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C supports applications across industrial, automotive, and outdoor environments. This range accommodates both cold-start conditions and elevated thermal environments without performance degradation.

Q: What is the significance of the crimp termination method?

A: Crimp termination provides a permanent, gas-tight connection between the conductor and contact pin. This method eliminates solder joint reliability concerns and is standard for high-reliability connector applications. Cable assemblies must use contacts specifically designed for crimp termination with this housing.

Q: Does the DT04-2P-RT01 include contacts?

A: No. The DT04-2P-RT01 is a housing-only component. Contacts must be procured separately and inserted into the housing. This modular design allows customization of contact materials and specifications based on application requirements.

Q: What is the latch holder fastening type?

A: The latch holder mechanism provides mechanical retention between mating connector halves. This design ensures secure coupling without external fasteners and allows quick disconnect capability when required.

Q: Are there color options available for the DT04-2P-RT01?

A: The DT04-2P-RT01 is manufactured in black. Color selection is fixed for this part number and cannot be modified.

Q: What regulatory certifications apply to this component?

A: The DT04-2P-RT01 carries ROHS3 compliance, confirming restriction of hazardous substances in accordance with current EU directives. REACH regulatory status indicates compliance with chemical substance registration and authorization requirements.
