Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number 71-432591-04P matches the required environmental sealing and contact plating specifications for your application. Confirm that the commercial designation aligns with the intended system integration without requiring additional adapters. Ensure that the supplier provides traceability documentation consistent with aerospace industry standards before finalizing the purchase order.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a commercial-sourced alternative to the PT06CP-8-4P(358) is required for existing military-specified hardware. Evaluate the size 8 shell dimensions against available panel cutouts. Consider the 4-pin arrangement relative to the necessary circuit density and ensure the mating receptacle corresponds to the same series for proper mechanical engagement.

Part Context

This connector belongs to the PT06 series of circular connectors designed for harsh environment applications. The 71-432591-04P designation represents the commercial manufacturing variant of the PT06CP-8-4P(358), maintaining identical form, fit, and function characteristics. It is produced by Amphenol Aerospace Operations to support supply chain flexibility for defense and aerospace programs.

Replacement Considerations

The PT06CP-8-4P(358) is the direct military specification counterpart. When replacing, verify that the shell material and finish match the original assembly requirements to maintain corrosion resistance and grounding continuity.
