DT13-08PC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DT13-08PC is an active rectangular connector header manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. This panel mount, through-hole, right-angle connector features 8 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.250" row spacing and is designed for board-to-cable/wire applications in automotive environments. The connector utilizes solder termination with a latch holder fastening mechanism and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to support procurement flexibility, manage supply chain continuity, and ensure design compatibility across manufacturing batches and inventory sources.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DT13-08PC with the AT13-08PC-BM03 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment within the rectangular connector category. Both parts maintain identical position count (8 positions), row configuration (2 rows), and row spacing (0.250" / 6.35mm), which are the primary determinants of physical and electrical compatibility. Both connectors feature through-hole, right-angle mounting with solder termination, shrouded 4-wall construction, and latch holder fastening. Operating temperature ranges are identical (-55°C to 125°C), and both parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification. The substitute part meets or exceeds the voltage rating requirement (250V) and maintains the same contact shape (circular) and board-to-cable/wire application style. These aligned parameters establish functional equivalence for connector mating and circuit board integration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the DT13-08PC and AT13-08PC-BM03 are active products with ROHS3 compliance certification, establishing their suitability for current and future procurement cycles. The DT13-08PC offers panel mount capability with IP68/IP6K9K ingress protection rating, making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced environmental sealing. The AT13-08PC-BM03 provides a specified current rating of 13A and includes board guide features in addition to mating and mounting flanges, offering enhanced mechanical guidance during assembly. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and thermal operating parameters, with insulation heights within 0.002" (0.04mm) of each other. Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements regarding ingress protection levels, current handling specifications, and mounting configuration needs. The substitute part is available in tray packaging, whereas the main part is supplied in bulk packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the AT13-08PC-BM03 directly replace the DT13-08PC in existing designs?

A: Both connectors share identical position count (8), row configuration (2 rows), row spacing (0.250"), contact type (male pin), mounting style (through-hole, right-angle), and termination method (solder). The insulation heights are within 0.002" of each other. Substitution is mechanically and electrically compatible for board-to-cable/wire applications. However, the DT13-08PC includes panel mount capability while the AT13-08PC-BM03 does not, and ingress protection ratings differ (IP68/IP6K9K versus IP67).

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Connector type designation (Header versus Receptacle), (2) Ingress protection rating (IP68/IP6K9K versus IP67), (3) Contact finish (Nickel versus Tin), (4) Insulation material specification (Plastic versus Thermoplastic), (5) Current rating specification (not specified versus 13A), (6) Mounting configuration (panel mount included versus not included), and (7) Packaging format (bulk versus tray).

Q: Are both parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both the DT13-08PC and AT13-08PC-BM03 are rated for automotive applications. The DT13-08PC is specified for automotive use, while the AT13-08PC-BM03 is rated for both automotive and industrial applications. Both maintain the same operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) required for automotive environments.

Q: What is the significance of the different ingress protection ratings?

A: The DT13-08PC carries an IP68/IP6K9K rating, indicating complete dust protection and resistance to high-pressure water jets. The AT13-08PC-BM03 carries an IP67 rating, indicating complete dust protection and temporary immersion capability. Selection between these ratings depends on the specific environmental exposure conditions of the application.

Q: Do both connectors meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the DT13-08PC and AT13-08PC-BM03 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for restricted substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The DT13-08PC is supplied in bulk packaging, while the AT13-08PC-BM03 is supplied in tray packaging. This difference affects handling, storage, and inventory management but does not impact the functional or electrical characteristics of the connectors.

Q: Are the contact post lengths identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature a contact length post of 0.122" (3.10mm), ensuring compatible solder joint formation and circuit board integration.
