Deutsch DTM Series
Industrial DTM Family Connectors & Accessories
The Deutsch DTM Series of connectors feature a miniature contact with an improved design based on the field-proven Deutsch "DT" Series. The DTM is the connector to be used in harsh environmental applications where reliable signal circuits are critical to operating performance. Typical applications include on or around the engine, the transmission and under the hood. In fact, everywhere data signals or critical electronic circuits go, the field proven Deutsch design of the DTM will provide reliable peak connector performance.
The Deutsch DTM series of connectors are precision engineered with silicone seals to provide positive, weather resistant connections, and to function flawlessly even after hundreds of connect/disconnect cycles. 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, multipin, 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.
Understanding Deutsch Part Numbers
Here is an example of a typical Deutsch part number for a DTM Series connector. It might look something like this: DTM04-08PA-RD. Here's what each segment of the part number represents:
DTM: Product series (DTM series)
04: Style (Receptacle)
08: Configuration (8 Cavity)
P: Contacts (Pin)
A: Key (A Key)
RD: Special Modifications (Red)
By understanding how to read a Deutsch part number, you can quickly identify the specific connector or component you need for your application.
