Deutsch Connectors Deutsch DT Series Connectors
Genuine Deutsch DT series connectors provide superior electrical properties and weather resistance in an attractive, economical and user friendly product. The Deutsch DT connector system is the preferred choice for many top NASCAR, IRL, CCWS, Formula 1, ALMS, Grand American Road Racing Association Racing Teams, and by leading manufactures due to its reliability, serviceability, and common terminal / crimper system.

The components are molded from flame retardant and impact resistant materials, and the silicone gaskets and precision construction produce a weather resistant seal that will last for years, yet can be easily disassembled for rework of the assembly when necessary.
Deutsch DT series connectors are available in 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 pin configurations.

Do I need Sealing Plugs?
In situations where the harness design requires that not all of the receptacle or plug cavities are being used, inserting sealing plugs into the empty cavities maintains the weather resistance characteristics of the finished assembly.

The DT series sealing plug will fit in both receptacle and plug cavities, and you need one for each side of your assembly.
