Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DT06-12SA-CE01 are classified based on electrical and mechanical parameter compatibility. The substitution logic is structured as follows:

Parametric Equivalent Classification: Parts that maintain identical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type (plug), contact type (female socket), position count (12), row configuration (2 rows), mounting method (free hanging in-line), termination method (crimp), fastening mechanism (latch lock), color (gray), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and environmental sealing ratings (IP68, IP6K9K). These parts are interchangeable without design modification.

Similar Manufacturer Classification: Parts that share the same core functional parameters (connector type, contact type, position count, row configuration, mounting type, termination method, fastening type, color, and operating temperature range) but may differ in secondary specifications such as insulation material composition, environmental sealing features, or wire gauge compatibility. These parts require engineering evaluation for specific application requirements.

The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

• Connector type and contact type
• Position count and row configuration
• Mounting method and termination type
• Fastening mechanism
• Operating temperature range
• Environmental sealing capability
• RoHS compliance status

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DT06-12SC-CE01 (Parametric Equivalent): This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the DT06-12SA-CE01 across all critical parameters. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors within the DT series, feature identical contact configurations, environmental sealing ratings, and operating temperature ranges. Both are ROHS3 compliant and carry active product status. The DT06-12SC-CE01 offers higher inventory availability at 1468 units compared to 1115 units for the primary part. This substitute is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the DT06-12SA-CE01 is specified.

AT06-12SA-MM01 (Similar Manufacturer): This Amphenol Sine Systems Corp connector shares the same core functional parameters including 12-position plug configuration, female socket contacts, free-hanging in-line mounting, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. The operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and RoHS3 compliance are identical. The primary differences are the insulation material (thermoplastic versus polyamide glass-filled) and environmental sealing specification (sealed versus IP68/IP6K9K). This part is suitable for applications where the specific environmental sealing ratings of the DT06-12SA-CE01 are not required. The AT06-12SA-MM01 provides 1351 units in inventory availability.

Selection between these substitutes should be based on application-specific requirements for environmental sealing performance, insulation material properties, and inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DT06-12SC-CE01 be used as a direct replacement for the DT06-12SA-CE01?

A: Yes. The DT06-12SC-CE01 is a parametric equivalent with identical specifications across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the same connector type, contact configuration, position count, mounting method, termination type, fastening mechanism, operating temperature range, and environmental sealing ratings. Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: What are the key differences between the DT06-12SA-CE01 and the AT06-12SA-MM01?

A: Both connectors share identical core functional parameters including 12-position plug configuration, female socket contacts, free-hanging in-line mounting, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. The primary differences are: (1) insulation material composition—the DT06-12SA-CE01 uses polyamide (PA66) glass-filled material while the AT06-12SA-MM01 uses thermoplastic material; (2) environmental sealing specification—the DT06-12SA-CE01 is rated for IP68 and IP6K9K with reduced wire seals, while the AT06-12SA-MM01 is specified as sealed without specific IP ratings. Both maintain identical operating temperature ranges and RoHS3 compliance.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The DT06-12SA-CE01, DT06-12SC-CE01, and AT06-12SA-MM01 are all ROHS3 compliant. All three parts meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the significance of the environmental sealing ratings (IP68, IP6K9K) on the DT06-12SA-CE01?

A: The IP68 rating indicates protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water. The IP6K9K rating indicates protection against high-pressure water jets. These ratings are critical for applications requiring robust environmental protection. The AT06-12SA-MM01 does not specify these particular IP ratings, making it unsuitable for applications where these specific environmental sealing requirements are mandatory.

Q: Can the insulation material difference between the DT06-12SA-CE01 and AT06-12SA-MM01 affect compatibility?

A: The insulation material difference reflects different design approaches to housing construction. The DT06-12SA-CE01 uses polyamide (PA66) glass-filled material, while the AT06-12SA-MM01 uses thermoplastic material. Both materials are suitable for the specified operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Material selection should be based on application-specific requirements for mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and environmental exposure conditions.

Q: What does "Contacts Not Included" mean for these connector housings?

A: These part numbers refer to connector housings only, without pre-installed contacts. Contacts must be procured separately and crimped into the housing according to the connector's design specifications. The contact termination method for all three parts is crimp, requiring appropriate contact pins and crimping tools for assembly.

Q: Are there any wire gauge specifications for these connectors?

A: The AT06-12SA-MM01 is specified for 14-20 AWG wire gauge compatibility. The DT06-12SA-CE01 and DT06-12SC-CE01 do not include wire gauge specifications in their provided parameters. Wire gauge compatibility should be verified through the connector manufacturer's technical documentation when selecting contacts for assembly.

Q: What is the difference between "Parametric Equivalent" and "Similar Manufacturer" classifications?

A: Parametric Equivalent parts (DT06-12SC-CE01) maintain identical specifications across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters and are suitable for direct replacement. Similar Manufacturer parts (AT06-12SA-MM01) share the same core functional parameters but differ in secondary specifications such as insulation material or environmental sealing ratings. Similar Manufacturer parts require engineering evaluation to confirm suitability for specific application requirements.
