DT06-3S-E005 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DT06-3S-E005 is a 3-position rectangular connector housing plug manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. This connector is designed as a free-hanging, in-line plug housing with female socket contacts and crimp termination. The part is actively produced and maintains full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH regulations. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required for applications where the primary part is unavailable or when alternative color or material specifications are acceptable within the design constraints.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of rectangular connector housings is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (plug), contact type (female socket), number of positions (3), number of rows (2), mounting configuration (free hanging in-line), contact termination method (crimp), and fastening mechanism (latch lock). All substitute parts must maintain the same operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and regulatory compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected).

Variations in color, insulation material composition, and specific sealing features (IP68, IP6K9K versus sealed designation) do not prevent substitution when the core electrical and mechanical interface parameters remain identical. The substitute parts identified for DT06-3S-E005 satisfy these equivalence criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DT06-3S-E003 (TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors)

The DT06-3S-E003 is a parametric equivalent to DT06-3S-E005 within the same manufacturer series (DT). Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is color designation (gray versus black) and insulation material composition (thermoplastic versus polyamide with glass fill). Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. This substitute is suitable for applications where color specification is not a design constraint.

AT06-3S-EC01BLK (Amphenol Sine Systems Corp)

The AT06-3S-EC01BLK is a similar manufacturer part from Amphenol Sine Systems Corp that maintains electrical and mechanical equivalence to DT06-3S-E005. Both parts are 3-position plug housings with female socket contacts, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. Both operate across the identical temperature range and maintain ROHS3 compliance. The AT06-3S-EC01BLK features a sealed designation in place of the IP68/IP6K9K specification. This substitute is suitable for applications requiring cross-manufacturer compatibility where Amphenol connectors are specified or preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DT06-3S-E003 be used as a direct replacement for DT06-3S-E005?

A: Yes. Both parts are 3-position plug housings with identical connector type, contact type, number of positions, rows, mounting configuration, termination method, and fastening mechanism. The operating temperature range and regulatory compliance are equivalent. Color and insulation material differences do not affect electrical or mechanical interface compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the sealing specifications (IP68/IP6K9K versus sealed)?

A: IP68 and IP6K9K are specific ingress protection ratings provided for DT06-3S-E005. The AT06-3S-EC01BLK is designated as sealed without explicit IP ratings. Both designations indicate environmental protection; however, the specific performance criteria differ. Selection between these parts should account for the application's environmental protection requirements.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three parts (DT06-3S-E005, DT06-3S-E003, and AT06-3S-EC01BLK) are connector housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included with the housing purchase.

Q: Can I mix DT06-3S-E005 and AT06-3S-EC01BLK in the same assembly?

A: Both parts are 3-position plug housings with identical electrical and mechanical interface parameters. They can be used in the same assembly provided the application does not require all connectors to be from a single manufacturer or series. Verify that the mating receptacle housing is compatible with both plug housing designs.

Q: What is the difference in insulation material between DT06-3S-E005 and DT06-3S-E003?

A: DT06-3S-E005 uses polyamide (PA) nylon with glass fill. DT06-3S-E003 uses thermoplastic material. Both materials provide adequate insulation and mechanical support for the connector housing. Material selection may affect thermal properties and chemical resistance in specific environments; however, both parts operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. DT06-3S-E005, DT06-3S-E003, and AT06-3S-EC01BLK are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.
