PT06E8-33P Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PT06E8-33P is a 3-position circular connector plug manufactured by Amphenol Industrial Operations, conforming to MIL-DTL-26482 Series I specifications. This male pin connector features solder cup termination, bayonet lock fastening, and an aluminum shell with olive drab chromate over cadmium finish. The connector is designed for free-hanging in-line mounting applications across aerospace, communication systems, industrial, instrumentation, and mass transit sectors.

Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, lead time constraints, or specific application requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within the MIL-DTL-26482 standard framework.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PT06E8-33P is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector type: Plug with male pins
• Number of positions: 3
• Shell size designation: 8-33
• Series compliance: MIL-DTL-26482 or equivalent style
• Termination method: Solder or solder cup
• Fastening mechanism: Bayonet lock
• Mounting configuration: Free hanging in-line
• Shell material: Aluminum
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C minimum
• Ingress protection: Environment resistant

The MSW06E8-33P manufactured by Milspecwest, LLC satisfies all primary compatibility criteria. Both connectors conform to the 26482 standard framework, share identical shell size designations, employ bayonet lock fastening, and operate across the same temperature range. Both feature aluminum shells with environment-resistant ingress protection and solder-based termination methods suitable for equivalent circuit integration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

PT06E8-33P (Amphenol Industrial Operations):

• Primary selection for applications requiring explicit MIL-DTL-26482 Series I compliance documentation
• Specified contact material (copper alloy) with defined gold mating finish provides documented electrical performance characteristics
• Active product status with 819 units in stock ensures supply continuity
• Olive drab chromate over cadmium finish meets corrosion resistance specifications for aerospace and military applications

MSW06E8-33P (Milspecwest, LLC):

• Equivalent substitute when PT06E8-33P availability is constrained
• Conforms to 26482 style connector specifications with identical mechanical interface
• Provides documented electrical ratings (7.5A at 800V) suitable for circuit design verification
• Active product status with 902 units in stock offers alternative supply source
• Cadmium finish specification aligns with environmental resistance requirements

Both connectors maintain RoHS non-compliance status and EAR99 export classification, indicating suitability for equivalent military and industrial applications without regulatory substitution barriers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MSW06E8-33P directly replace PT06E8-33P in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical shell size (8-33), position count (3), fastening mechanism (bayonet lock), and mounting configuration (free hanging in-line). Mechanical and electrical interface compatibility is established through conformance to MIL-DTL-26482 standard specifications.

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

A: The primary differences are manufacturer identity and shell finish specification. PT06E8-33P features olive drab chromate over cadmium finish, while MSW06E8-33P specifies cadmium finish. MSW06E8-33P provides explicit electrical ratings (7.5A, 800V), whereas PT06E8-33P does not list current or voltage specifications in available documentation. Both employ solder-based termination methods with equivalent thermal performance across -55°C to 125°C operating range.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these connectors?

A: PT06E8-33P packaging is not specified in available documentation. MSW06E8-33P is supplied in bag packaging. Packaging differences do not affect connector functionality or interchangeability.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same compliance standards?

A: Both connectors are RoHS non-compliant and classified under ECCN EAR99. Both conform to MIL-DTL-26482 standard framework specifications. Compliance profiles are equivalent for military and industrial applications.

Q: What termination method should be used with these connectors?

A: Both connectors employ solder termination. PT06E8-33P specifies solder cup termination, while MSW06E8-33P specifies solder termination. Both methods are compatible with standard PCB assembly and wire termination processes.

Q: Can these connectors be used in aerospace applications?

A: PT06E8-33P is explicitly listed for aerospace applications. MSW06E8-33P is specified for military applications. Both connectors meet MIL-DTL-26482 environmental resistance and temperature range requirements applicable to aerospace and military systems.
