The Differences in Deutsch DT, DTM, and DTP Connectors 

You got it!

Thank you!

Hi beachnative42...yes, the housings should be stamped with the base part number. If you have any issues, please feel free to send our team an email with an image to info@wirecare.com and they'll be able to help you.

Yes, that is definitely something we will do moving forward.

Yes, yes, yes. AWG doesn't mean much outside of USA. Why not reference mm2 cable size at the same time?

​ @graham6137 You are correct! Outside the US, AWG is meaningless. We may be able to add some text to the video.

@juanarredondo9601 Unfortunately, they are not interchangeable.

Keying is something that Deutsch uses so that you cannot mate incompatible connector housing. For instance, a DT 12 pin connector has A, B, C and D Keying. This ensures that a C Key plug cannot be mated with a D Key Receptacle. Basically it is a tab on the plug that slides into a slot on the receptacle. These must align for them to mate. I hope that makes sense.

The DT series, size 16 contacts, will accept 14 - 20 awg wire.

@@WireCare Yes, I know, but 24 is smaller than 20 and no DTx connector appears to handle smaller than 22 gauge (DTM series) unfortunately. I have a device that uses only 24 AWG and it appears nobody makes a weatheright connector specified for wire this small.

@ltvoyager I have heard of people (tinning) g th he wire to make it 1 or2 sizes bigger. Don’t know if that helps you.

@@marshallcollins8634 That might work, but I decided to use a JWPF connector instead of Deutsch.

Yes, the autosports are a bit more complicated to understand. The dielectric strength on the DT connectors would be 1500 VAC.

You are correct....the DTM series housing is physically smaller.

It’s right there in the designation DT Mini

He says it denotes miniature what more do you want?
