### Overview of ATM13-12PC-R008 The **ATM13-12PC-R008** is a high-performance, heavy-duty industrial electrical connector manufactured by **Amphenol Sine Systems**. It belongs to the **ATM Series™**, which is widely recognized as a compatible alternative to the DEUTSCH DTM series. --- ### Technical Specifications | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | ATM Series™ (Mini) | | **Number of Positions** | 12 Pins | | **Contact Size** | Size 20 | | **Current Rating** | 7.5 Amps per contact | | **Mounting Type** | PCB Mount (Right Angle) | | **Color** | Grey | | **Keying Type** | Key C (indicated by the 'C' in the part number) | | **Operating Temperature** | -55°C to +125°C | | **IP Rating** | IP67 (Dust tight and waterproof) | --- ### Key Electronic Components & Features #### 1. Housing Material The connector body is made of **Thermoplastic**, which provides excellent thermal stability and resistance to chemicals common in automotive and industrial environments. #### 2. Keying and Polarization (Key C) The "PC" designation indicates that this connector uses **Key C**. Amphenol uses color-coding and physical tab layouts to prevent mis-mating: * **Key A:** Grey * **Key B:** Black * **Key C:** Green (Note: While the body is often grey, the internal keying structure follows Key C specs). * **Key D:** Brown #### 3. Contact System * **Pin Material:** Copper Alloy with Gold or Tin plating options (standard is high-conductivity). * **PCB Interface:** This specific model features long pins designed for **through-hole mounting** on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). * **R008 Modification:** The "-R008" suffix indicates a specific modification, usually referring to the **right-angle header** configuration with a snap-lock feature for the PCB. #### 4. Environmental Sealing It utilizes integrated **silicone seals** to prevent moisture, fuel, and lubricants from entering the contact area, making it ideal for engine compartments or chassis mounting. --- ### Common Applications * **Automotive:** ECU (Engine Control Unit) interfaces. * **Marine:** Dashboard and power distribution systems. * **Industrial:** Heavy machinery sensors and controller connections. * **Diagnostics:** Data link connectors for rugged handheld tools. ---
