DT04-3P-LE08 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DT04-3P-LE08 is a 3-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. This receptacle assembly is designed for panel mount applications with crimp contact termination and latch holder fastening. The connector is rated for IP68 and IP6K9K environmental protection, operating across -55°C to 125°C temperature range.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector interface, allowing direct functional replacement in applications where the core performance specifications remain constant.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DT04-3P-LE08 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that define functional equivalence:

Core Electrical Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle)
• Number of positions (3)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)

Core Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type (Panel Mount)
• Fastening type (Latch Holder)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• Color (Gray)

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Environmental protection rating (IP68, IP6K9K)
• RoHS3 compliance
• REACH unaffected status

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in insulation material, additional features (such as mounting flanges or covers), or different manufacturers within the same series maintain compatibility when the core parameters remain constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DT04-3P-L012 (TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors)

This substitute maintains identical core specifications to the DT04-3P-LE08 within the same manufacturer series. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The DT04-3P-L012 includes a mounting flange feature and polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 glass-filled insulation material. Current inventory availability is 4,364 units. This part is suitable for direct replacement where the additional mounting flange does not create mechanical interference in the application.

AT04-3P-LE08 (Amphenol Sine Systems Corp)

This substitute is from the PanelMate™ AT series and maintains equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters. The AT04-3P-LE08 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. This part includes additional features such as a cap (cover) and mounting flange with sealed construction. Current inventory availability is 1,221 units. This part is suitable for replacement in applications where cross-manufacturer compatibility is acceptable and the additional protective features provide system benefit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DT04-3P-L012 be used as a direct replacement for DT04-3P-LE08?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical core electrical and mechanical parameters: 3-position receptacle, male pin contacts, crimp termination, panel mount configuration, latch holder fastening, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The DT04-3P-L012 includes a mounting flange; verify that this feature does not create mechanical interference in your application.

Q: What is the difference between the TE Connectivity and Amphenol substitute options?

A: Both substitutes maintain core connector specifications. The DT04-3P-L012 remains within the TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors DT series with polyamide insulation material. The AT04-3P-LE08 is from Amphenol's PanelMate™ AT series with thermoplastic insulation and includes protective features (cap/cover and mounting flange). Both are functionally equivalent for the specified 3-position, crimp-terminated, panel-mount application.

Q: Are contacts included with these substitute parts?

A: No. All three parts (DT04-3P-LE08, DT04-3P-L012, and AT04-3P-LE08) are connector housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included with the housing assembly.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same environmental protection rating?

A: The DT04-3P-LE08 and DT04-3P-L012 both specify IP68 and IP6K9K ratings. The AT04-3P-LE08 specifies sealed construction. All three parts meet environmental protection requirements for panel mount applications.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts?

A: The DT04-3P-LE08 and DT04-3P-L012 have MSL listed as Not Applicable. The AT04-3P-LE08 has MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
