DT06-3S-C017 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DT06-3S-C017 is a 3-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. This plug-type connector features a gray polyamide housing with female socket contacts, designed for free-hanging in-line applications with crimp termination and latch lock fastening. The connector operates across an industrial temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and maintains ROHS3 compliance. This part is currently in active production status with 966 units available in new original inventory. Equivalent substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, supply chain continuity, and application requirements where alternative manufacturers' components meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DT06-3S-C017 are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (plug), contact type (female socket), number of positions (3), number of rows (2), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination method (crimp), fastening mechanism (latch lock), color (gray), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment. The AT06-3S-SS01 from Amphenol Sine Systems Corp qualifies as a direct substitute based on these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Pitch specification is a determining factor; however, where pitch data is not explicitly provided for substitute parts, equivalence is established through matching all other critical dimensional and functional criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the DT06-3S-C017 and AT06-3S-SS01 are active production components with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial applications. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement availability, packaging requirements, and inventory levels. The DT06-3S-C017 is supplied in box packaging with 966 units in stock, while the AT06-3S-SS01 is supplied in bulk packaging with 2254 units available. The AT06-3S-SS01 includes a cap (cover) feature not specified for the DT06-3S-C017. Note that the AT06-3S-SS01 housing does not include contacts; contacts must be sourced separately. Both connectors support identical electrical and mechanical interface requirements for 3-position, 2-row, crimp-terminated, latch-lock applications operating across -55°C to 125°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AT06-3S-SS01 directly replace the DT06-3S-C017 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the AT06-3S-SS01 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching connector type, contact type, number of positions, number of rows, mounting type, contact termination, fastening type, color, and operating temperature range. Both parts maintain identical regulatory compliance status.

Q: What is the significance of the pitch parameter in substitution?

A: Pitch (0.394" or 10.00mm) defines the center-to-center spacing between contact positions and is a critical dimensional parameter for mechanical and electrical compatibility. The DT06-3S-C017 specifies this pitch explicitly; the AT06-3S-SS01 pitch is not provided in available documentation but equivalence is established through matching all other core parameters.

Q: Why does the AT06-3S-SS01 listing indicate "Contacts Not Included"?

A: The AT06-3S-SS01 is supplied as a housing-only component. Crimp contacts must be sourced separately and must match the contact specifications of the application. The DT06-3S-C017 documentation does not specify whether contacts are included, requiring verification during procurement.

Q: What is the difference between box and bulk packaging?

A: Box packaging typically provides individual or small-quantity packaging suitable for controlled inventory management. Bulk packaging provides larger quantities in standard shipping containers, reducing per-unit packaging cost. Selection depends on procurement volume and inventory handling requirements.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental limitations when substituting these parts?

A: Both parts operate identically across -55°C to 125°C and maintain sealed construction. No additional environmental limitations are introduced by substitution. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What does "Latch Lock" fastening mean?

A: Latch lock fastening provides mechanical retention between mated connector halves through integral locking tabs or latches. This ensures secure connection without requiring additional fasteners or tools.
