DTM06-2S-EP10 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DTM06-2S-EP10 is a 2-position rectangular connector plug housing manufactured by TE Connectivity Deutsch Connectors. This connector features a black thermoplastic housing with crimp contact termination and latch lock fastening, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. The part is classified as Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or application-specific feature needs necessitate alternative connector housings that maintain functional compatibility within the same connector category and position count.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DTM06-2S-EP10 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector Type: Plug housing
• Contact Type: Female Socket
• Number of Positions: 2
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Color: Black
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Secondary Considerations:

• Fastening Type (Latch Lock or equivalent mechanical retention)
• Insulation Material (Thermoplastic or equivalent polymer)
• Product Status (Active)

The identified substitutes maintain these core parameters while potentially offering variations in pitch specification, fastening mechanism design, or insulation material composition. All substitute parts are Active status products with equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three connector housings maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, establishing baseline regulatory and environmental equivalence.

DTM06-2S-EP10 (Primary Part): Recommended for applications requiring TE Connectivity Deutsch series standardization. Thermoplastic insulation material with latch lock fastening provides standard mechanical retention. Contacts not included; sourcing of compatible DTM series contacts required.

1-1438608-5 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors): Qualifies as substitute with specified 0.157" (4.00mm) pitch and operating temperature range of -40°C to 130°C. Glass-filled polyamide insulation offers enhanced mechanical durability. Features Connector Position Assurance (CPA) and Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) for improved contact security. Latch Holder fastening mechanism provides equivalent mechanical retention. Contacts not included; compatible AMP Micro Quadlok series contacts required.

ATM06-2S-RB120BK (Amphenol Sine Systems Corp): Qualifies as substitute with integrated 120-ohm resistor feature and specified wire gauge compatibility (16-22 AWG). Latch lock fastening matches primary part mechanism. Suitable for applications requiring resistor integration within the connector housing. Contacts not included; compatible ATM series contacts required.

Selection between substitutes depends on specific application requirements including pitch standardization, temperature operating range, resistor integration needs, and connector series standardization within the system design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-1438608-5 directly replace the DTM06-2S-EP10 in existing assemblies?

A: The 1-1438608-5 maintains compatibility across all critical parameters: 2-position plug housing, female socket contacts, crimp termination, free-hanging mounting, and equivalent compliance ratings. However, the specified 0.157" (4.00mm) pitch and Micro Quadlok series designation require verification that mating receptacles and contact sets are compatible with this specific series. Contact sourcing must transition to TE Connectivity AMP Micro Quadlok series contacts.

Q: What is the primary difference between the ATM06-2S-RB120BK and the DTM06-2S-EP10?

A: The ATM06-2S-RB120BK incorporates an integrated 120-ohm resistor within the connector housing, whereas the DTM06-2S-EP10 does not include this feature. Both maintain identical 2-position plug configuration, female socket contacts, and latch lock fastening. The resistor integration in the Amphenol part eliminates the need for discrete resistor components in applications requiring 120-ohm termination.

Q: Are contacts included with any of these connector housings?

A: No. All three connector housings (DTM06-2S-EP10, 1-1438608-5, and ATM06-2S-RB120BK) are supplied without contacts. Contact sets must be sourced separately according to the specific connector series: DTM series contacts for the primary part, AMP Micro Quadlok contacts for the 1-1438608-5, and ATM series contacts for the ATM06-2S-RB120BK.

Q: What operating temperature range applies to the DTM06-2S-EP10?

A: Operating temperature specification is not provided in the technical parameters for the DTM06-2S-EP10. The 1-1438608-5 substitute specifies -40°C to 130°C operating range. For applications with specific temperature requirements, contact the manufacturer for DTM06-2S-EP10 thermal specifications.

Q: Do all three parts meet the same regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. All three connector housings are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). The DTM06-2S-EP10 and ATM06-2S-RB120BK are REACH Affected or REACH Unaffected respectively, while the 1-1438608-5 lists REACH status as Vendor Undefined. All parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

Q: What is the difference between Latch Lock and Latch Holder fastening types?

A: Both fastening mechanisms provide mechanical retention for the connector housing. Latch Lock (DTM06-2S-EP10 and ATM06-2S-RB120BK) and Latch Holder (1-1438608-5) represent design variations in the mechanical engagement system. Compatibility with mating receptacles depends on the specific receptacle design and series standardization.
