DTM06-08SC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DTM06-08SC is an 8-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. This plug-type connector features female socket contacts, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. The housing is rated for IP68 and IP6K9K protection, operates across -55°C to 125°C, and is constructed from polyamide (PA66) nylon material in green color. The part is active in production status and RoHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector housing specifications, allowing for functional interchangeability in applications where housing color or material variations are acceptable.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active production status and RoHS3 compliance, ensuring continued availability and regulatory conformance. The three TE Connectivity Deutsch parametric equivalents (DT06-08SA-EP07, DT06-08SB, DTM06-08SA) are direct functional replacements within the same manufacturer ecosystem, differing only in housing color and insulation material composition. These parts are suitable for applications where color coding or material specifications do not impose design constraints.

The DTM06-08SA variant offers the highest inventory availability (26,492 pieces) among TE Connectivity options and maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the DTM06-08SC, with the distinction of gray housing color and polyamide nylon insulation material.

The ATM06-08SC from Amphenol Sine Systems Corp provides cross-manufacturer substitution capability. This part maintains identical connector type, contact configuration, position count, mounting method, and operating temperature range. The ATM06-08SC features sealed protection and thermoplastic insulation material. The Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating differs (1 Unlimited versus Not Applicable), which may influence handling and storage protocols in moisture-sensitive environments.

Selection between TE Connectivity and Amphenol options depends on supply chain requirements, existing connector ecosystem compatibility, and material specification constraints. All parts are suitable for applications requiring 8-position crimp-terminated plug housings with latch lock fastening across the specified temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DTM06-08SC be directly replaced with the DTM06-08SA?

A: Yes. The DTM06-08SA is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is housing color (gray versus green) and insulation material composition (polyamide nylon versus polyamide PA66 nylon 6/6). Both parts maintain the same 8-position configuration, crimp termination, latch lock fastening, and operating temperature range.

Q: What is the difference between the DT06-08SA-EP07 and DT06-08SB?

A: Both are TE Connectivity Deutsch parametric equivalents with black housing. The DT06-08SA-EP07 uses plastic insulation material, while the DT06-08SB uses polyamide nylon with glass filling. Both maintain identical electrical specifications, protection ratings (IP68, IP6K9K), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C).

Q: Can the ATM06-08SC from Amphenol be used as a substitute for the DTM06-08SC?

A: The ATM06-08SC maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 8-position plug configuration, female socket contacts, crimp termination, latch lock fastening, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature. The part features sealed protection and thermoplastic insulation. Cross-manufacturer substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible. The Moisture Sensitivity Level differs (MSL 1 Unlimited for ATM06-08SC versus Not Applicable for DTM06-08SC), which may affect storage and handling requirements.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All listed parts (DTM06-08SC, DT06-08SA-EP07, DT06-08SB, DTM06-08SA, and ATM06-08SC) are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately.

Q: What does the "Bulk" packaging designation mean?

A: Bulk packaging indicates the parts are supplied in standard industrial packaging without individual protective cases. All listed substitute parts are available in bulk packaging.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same environmental protection standards?

A: The TE Connectivity Deutsch parts (DTM06-08SC, DT06-08SA-EP07, DT06-08SB, DTM06-08SA) all specify IP68 and IP6K9K protection ratings. The ATM06-08SC specifies "Sealed" protection, which provides equivalent environmental sealing for the connector housing.

Q: What is the significance of the base product number (DTM06 versus DT06 versus ATM06)?

A: The base product number identifies the connector series and manufacturer platform. DTM06 and DT06 are TE Connectivity Deutsch series variants, while ATM06 is the Amphenol Sine Systems series designation. Within each series, suffix designations (08SC, 08SA, 08SB) specify position count and housing configuration.
