Deutsch DT Series

Understanding Deutsch Part Numbers

Here is an example of a typical Deutsch part number for a DT Series connector. It might look something like this: DT06-08SA. Here's what each segment of the part number represents:

DT: Product series (DT series)
06: Style (Plug)
08: Configuration (8 Cavity)
S: Contacts (Socket)
A: Key (A Key)

By understanding how to read a Deutsch part number, you can quickly identify the specific connector or component you need for your application.
