DT Family
DT Family Overview
Deutsch DT, DTM, and DTP Series environmentally sealed connectors are designed specifically for cable to cable
applications. The DT connectors are used in harsh environment applications where even a small degradation in connection
may be critical. Thermoplastic housings offer a wide operating temperature range and silicone rear wire and interface seals
allow the connectors to withstand conditions of extreme temperature and moisture.
The connector may be populated with either solid or stamped & formed style contacts. Contact insertion and removal does
not require any special tools. Contacts are retained in locked position by dielectric fingers which are molded as an integral
part of the housing. Secondary wedgelocks are assembled at the mating interfaces to ensure contact positioning.
The Deutsch DT Series general purpose connectors will provide reliability and performance on the engine or transmission,
under the hood, on the chassis, or in the cab.
DT Series Overview
Deutsch’s DT Series connectors offer field proven reliability
and rugged quality. The DT design strengths include
optional flange mounting, multi-pin arrangements,
lower cost, and design flexibility. The DT Series offers the
designer the ability to use multiple size 16 contacts, each
with 13 amp continuous capacity, within a single shell.
DTM Series Overview
Deutsch’s DTM Series connectors are the answer to all
of your smaller wire gauge applications. Building on
the DT design strengths, the DTM connector line was
developed to fill the need for lower amperage, multi-
pin, inexpensive connectors. The DTM Series offers the
designer the ability to use multiple size 20 contacts, each
with 7.5 amp continuous capacity, within a single shell.
DTP Series Overview
Deutsch’s DTP Series connectors are the solution for your
power application requirements. Building on both the DT
and DTM design strengths, the DTP connector line was
developed to fill the need for higher amperage, multi-pin,
inexpensive connectors.
The DTP Series offers the designer the ability to use
multiple size 12 contacts, each with a 25 amp continuous
capacity, within a single shell. The DTP connectors are
currently available in two and four pin configurations.

Required Components
Secondary Wedgelocks
Deutsch DT style electrical connectors require secondary wedgelocks which are sold separately. The wedgelocks ensure
proper contact alignment within each connector. Secondary wedgelocks are assembled at the mating interface and click
into place. If by chance the secondary wedgelocks are not properly seated during assembly, they will be pressed into locked
position during the mating of the connector.
Adding to the design flexibility of the DT Series, several wedgelocks offer keying options. Wedgelocks for enhanced seal
retention plugs (P012) are also available.
