DT06-3S-TN31 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DT06-3S-TN31 is a 3-position rectangular connector plug housing manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. This connector features female socket contacts, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. The housing is constructed from polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 glass-filled material in gray color and meets IP68 and IP6K9K sealing ratings with reduced wire seals and sealed gasket features.

The DT06-3S-TN31 maintains active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are necessary when specific color requirements differ, packaging formats vary, or inventory availability requires alternative sourcing while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DT06-3S-TN31 are determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 3
• Number of Rows: 2
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Latch Lock
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Features: Cap (Cover), IP68, IP6K9K, Reduced Wire Seals, Sealed Gasket
• Series: DT
• Base Product Number: DT06
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Variable Parameters (Non-Critical for Substitution):

• Color (Gray vs. Black)
• Insulation Material (Polyamide PA66 vs. Plastic)
• Packaging Format (Box vs. Bulk)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL)

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications, ensuring direct functional interchangeability within the DT06 series rectangular connector family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts—DT06-3S-CE14, DT06-3S-TE32, and DT06-3S-TN32—are functionally equivalent to the DT06-3S-TN31 for applications requiring 3-position rectangular connector plug housings with female socket contacts and crimp termination.

DT06-3S-CE14 is suitable for applications where black housing color is acceptable and bulk packaging is preferred. This part includes plastic insulation material and carries a note that contacts are not included. ROHS3 compliance and active product status are maintained.

DT06-3S-TE32 is suitable for applications requiring black housing color with polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 glass-filled insulation material matching the original specification. This part features the highest current inventory availability (6680 pcs) and is packaged in box format. MSL rating is 1 (Unlimited).

DT06-3S-TN32 is suitable for applications requiring black housing color with polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 glass-filled insulation material. This part is packaged in box format with MSL not applicable, matching the original part's MSL designation.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, active product status, and identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications. Selection between substitutes depends on color requirements, packaging format preferences, and material specification alignment with system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DT06-3S-CE14 be used as a direct replacement for DT06-3S-TN31?

A: DT06-3S-CE14 is electrically and mechanically equivalent for connector interface specifications. The primary differences are housing color (black vs. gray), insulation material (plastic vs. polyamide PA66), packaging format (bulk vs. box), and the note that contacts are not included. Substitution is valid when black color is acceptable and contacts are sourced separately if required.

Q: What is the difference between DT06-3S-TE32 and DT06-3S-TN32?

A: Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications, connector interface, and insulation material (polyamide PA66 nylon 6/6 glass-filled). The primary difference is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): DT06-3S-TE32 has MSL 1 (Unlimited), while DT06-3S-TN32 has MSL not applicable. Both are packaged in box format.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. DT06-3S-CE14, DT06-3S-TE32, and DT06-3S-TN32 are all ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the DT06-3S-TN31.

Q: Does housing color affect electrical performance?

A: Housing color is a cosmetic and identification parameter only. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical performance regardless of color variation (gray vs. black).

Q: What does "Contacts Not Included" mean for DT06-3S-CE14?

A: This designation indicates that the connector housing is supplied without pre-installed female socket contacts. Contacts must be sourced and installed separately through crimp termination. The DT06-3S-TN31, DT06-3S-TE32, and DT06-3S-TN32 do not carry this restriction.

Q: Can these connectors be used in the same assembly?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within the DT06 series. They share identical connector type, contact configuration, mounting specifications, and fastening mechanisms, enabling direct substitution in assemblies designed for the DT06-3S-TN31.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature range -55°C ~ 125°C?

A: This range specifies the thermal environment in which the connector maintains full electrical and mechanical performance. All substitute parts operate within this identical temperature specification, ensuring compatibility across thermal cycling and extreme environment applications.
