Amphenol PT06A-12-10P SR Connector Pin – Bayonet 12 Shell 10 Contacts

Description

Product Overview

The Amphenol PT06A-12-10P SR circular connector pin is engineered for demanding industrial environments where reliability and durability are paramount. Featuring a robust bayonet coupling mechanism, this pin secures firmly to its mating connector, reducing the risk of accidental disengagement during vibration or movement. The 12‑shell size conforms to standard miniature cylindrical connector dimensions, allowing seamless integration into existing wiring harnesses without requiring extensive redesign.

Constructed from high‑grade materials, the pin offers excellent resistance to corrosion, temperature extremes, and mechanical stress. The solder termination provides a low‑resistance electrical path, ensuring consistent signal integrity across the ten contacts. Integrated strain‑relief adds an extra layer of protection, absorbing flex and pull forces that could otherwise compromise the connection.</n

Designed with a general‑duty rating, this connector pin is suitable for a wide range of applications, from automation equipment to instrumentation panels. Its straightforward installation process—solder termination followed by strain‑relief crimp—makes it a preferred choice for technicians seeking both performance and ease of assembly.

Amphenol’s reputation for quality is reflected in the precise tolerances and rigorous testing each pin undergoes. The PT06A-12-10P SR model meets industry standards for electrical safety and mechanical endurance, delivering confidence to engineers and end‑users alike.

Usage

In industrial automation settings, the PT06A-12-10P SR pin excels when connecting sensors, actuators, and control modules that require a secure, repeatable interface. Its bayonet coupling ensures quick mating and demating, which is valuable during routine maintenance or system upgrades. The 12‑shell form factor fits comfortably within confined panel spaces, making it ideal for dense wiring configurations.

For harsh environments such as manufacturing floors with exposure to chemicals, dust, and temperature fluctuations, the pin’s corrosion‑resistant construction and strain‑relief features maintain connection integrity over long service periods. This reliability reduces downtime and maintenance costs, supporting continuous operation of critical equipment.

Electrical engineers designing custom harnesses for robotics or test equipment often select this connector pin for its ten‑contact layout, which accommodates multiple signal lines while preserving a compact footprint. The solder termination method provides a stable electrical bond, essential for high‑frequency or precision signal applications.

FAQ

What types of cables are compatible with the PT06A-12-10P SR pin?

The pin is designed for use with standard insulated copper conductors that match the gauge recommended in the product datasheet. It works well with both stranded and solid core wires, provided the wire size falls within the specified range for optimal solder joint strength.

Can this connector be used in outdoor applications?

While the PT06A-12-10P SR is not rated for direct exposure to water, its corrosion‑resistant materials and strain‑relief features make it suitable for outdoor enclosures that provide adequate sealing. Pairing it with a compatible weather‑proof housing will ensure reliable performance in outdoor settings.

How does the strain‑relief feature improve durability?

Strain‑relief absorbs mechanical stresses caused by pulling or bending of the attached wires. By distributing these forces away from the solder joint, it reduces the likelihood of wire breakage or solder fatigue, thereby extending the connector’s service life.

Is the pin compatible with other Amphenol connector series?

Yes, the PT06A-12-10P SR is compatible with a range of Amphenol series parts, including the 71‑533723‑10S, PT00A‑12‑10S, PT01A‑12‑10S, PT02A‑12‑10S, and PT07A‑12‑10S models. This interoperability simplifies system design and allows for flexible configuration options.

What warranty does Amphenol provide for this product?

Amphenol offers a standard limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects for a period of one year from the date of purchase. Detailed warranty terms are available through authorized distributors and the Amphenol website.
