Engineering Selection Recommendations

DT06-3S-EF02 is the primary recommended substitute for the obsolete DT06-3S-C008. This part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering active product status. The DT06-3S-EF02 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, supporting regulatory requirements for new designs and manufacturing environments. Current inventory availability (939 pieces) ensures supply continuity.

DT06-3S serves as a secondary substitute option. This part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics but remains available through alternative distribution channels. The DT06-3S provides enhanced environmental protection through IP6K9K rating in addition to IP68 sealing. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status are confirmed. The gray color variant may require design consideration if color matching is specified.

Both substitute parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors within the DT series, ensuring design compatibility and interchangeability based on the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DT06-3S-EF02 directly replace DT06-3S-C008 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 3-position plug connector with female socket contacts, crimp termination, latch lock fastening, and IP68 environmental rating. The operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and insulation material (PA66 glass-filled polyamide) are identical. Color difference (black for both) does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between DT06-3S and DT06-3S-EF02?

A: The primary differences are product status and environmental rating. DT06-3S-EF02 is active and carries IP68 rating. DT06-3S is discontinued at DiGi Electronics and provides enhanced IP6K9K rating in addition to IP68. Both maintain identical core electrical and mechanical parameters. Color differs (gray for DT06-3S, black for DT06-3S-EF02).

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three parts (DT06-3S-C008, DT06-3S, DT06-3S-EF02) are connector housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included with the housing.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: DT06-3S-C008 was supplied in standard packaging. DT06-3S and DT06-3S-EF02 are available in bulk packaging, suitable for production environments and high-volume applications.

Q: Do the substitute parts meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: DT06-3S-EF02 and DT06-3S both carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

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

A: All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage, handling, or assembly.
