DTM06-12SA Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DTM06-12SA is a 12-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 constructed from polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 glass-filled material in gray color and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The connector meets IP68 and IP6K9K ingress protection ratings and is ROHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are necessary when specific color requirements, material specifications, or series preferences differ from the primary DTM06-12SA specification, while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DTM06-12SA are determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (plug), contact type (female socket), number of positions (12), number of rows (2), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), fastening type (latch lock), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and ingress protection ratings (IP68, IP6K9K). All substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications.

Variations among substitute parts occur in the following non-critical parameters: housing color (gray, black, or green), insulation material composition (polyamide PA66 nylon 6/6 glass-filled versus polyamide PA nylon glass-filled versus plastic), series designation (DTM versus DT), and REACH compliance status (REACH Unaffected versus Vendor Undefined). These variations allow selection based on specific application requirements without compromising connector functionality or performance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection among substitute parts should be based on specific application requirements regarding housing color and insulation material composition.

For applications requiring polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 glass-filled insulation material within the DTM series, DTM06-12SA (gray) and DTM06-12SB (black) are primary selections. DTM06-12SC (green) provides the same material specification with alternative color coding.

For applications requiring polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 glass-filled insulation material within the DT series, DT06-12SA-EP07 (black) and DT06-12SD-B016 (gray) are available. DT06-12SA-B016 and DT06-12SC-B016 provide polyamide (PA) nylon glass-filled material as an alternative.

For applications where plastic insulation material is acceptable, DT06-12SA (gray), DT06-12SB (black), DT06-12SC (gray), and DT06-12SD (gray) are available within the DT series.

Parts with REACH Unaffected status (DTM06-12SA, DTM06-12SB, DTM06-12SC, DT06-12SA, DT06-12SA-B016, DT06-12SA-EP07, DT06-12SB, DT06-12SC, DT06-12SC-B016) are preferred for applications with strict regulatory requirements. Parts with Vendor Undefined REACH status (DT06-12SD, DT06-12SD-B016) require verification for specific regulatory environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DT series connectors substitute for DTM series connectors?

A: Yes. DT and DTM series connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 12-position plug housings with female socket contacts, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. The primary difference is series designation. Selection between series depends on application requirements and inventory availability.

Q: What is the difference between polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 glass-filled and polyamide (PA) nylon glass-filled insulation materials?

A: Both materials are polyamide-based glass-filled compounds suitable for the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and ingress protection ratings of IP68 and IP6K9K. The specific polyamide formulation (PA66 versus PA) represents material composition variation. Selection depends on application-specific material requirements.

Q: Are plastic insulation variants electrically equivalent to polyamide variants?

A: Yes. Plastic insulation variants (DT06-12SA, DT06-12SB, DT06-12SC, DT06-12SD) maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications including operating temperature range, ingress protection ratings, connector type, contact type, and fastening mechanism. Material selection depends on application requirements for insulation properties.

Q: Does housing color affect connector functionality?

A: No. Housing color (gray, black, or green) is a visual identification feature and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Color selection is based on application requirements for circuit identification or system design standards.

Q: What is the significance of part number suffixes such as -B016 and -EP07?

A: Suffixes indicate specific material or configuration variants within the connector series. -B016 designates polyamide (PA) nylon glass-filled material composition. -EP07 designates black color housing. These suffixes allow precise specification of material and color requirements while maintaining core connector functionality.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: All listed substitute parts carry ROHS3 Compliant status. Parts with REACH Unaffected status provide additional regulatory assurance for applications with strict environmental compliance requirements.

Q: Can contacts from one part number be used with housings from another part number?

A: All listed substitute parts are designed for crimp termination with compatible contact sets. Contacts are not included with housing purchases. Verify contact compatibility specifications with the contact manufacturer before combining contacts and housings from different part numbers.
