DT Series
What are DT series connectors?
DT series connectors are electrical connectors built for use in environments where harsh conditions occur. This type of connector is known as an environmentally sealed connector, which is exactly what it sounds like. They are designed to handle the toughest environments out there. DT series connectors are built around the ideas of field serviceability, longevity, and reliability. They can be found in applications that require a high level of circuit protection coupled with a high level of environmental protection.

Where are these products implemented?
DT series connectors are implemented where protection is required
DT series connectors are implemented in applications where a high degree of protection is needed for circuits. Not just ideal for new installations, DT connectors are also perfect for replacement parts as well. If you have faded connectors or burnt connectors, then these may just be the replacements you've been looking for. We also carry all the proper tools and accessories you would need to install them. DT series connectors are designed with longevity and durability in mind. Now let us take a look at what gauges and applications they are built for.
Which gauges and power applications are DT series connectors built for?
The DT series connectors are larger in size than the DTM series connectors but smaller than the DTP or DTHD series connectors. They are built for use with size 16 contacts, which are 20-14-gauge wires. All DT series connectors are designed to offer 13-amp continuous power. These are the most commonly requested Deutsch connectors due to their amperage rating and ease of installation. The DT series connectors are built with a durable housing and inner seal designed to create a moisture-proof barrier. These factors make them a solid choice for a range of applications.

What are some benefits of DT series connectors?
DT series connectors offer benefits such as high durability and environmental protection. These are just some of the reasons that the DT series are often chosen for use in marine environments. Consider this: when your electrical connections are going to be dealing with the harshest environmental conditions out there, do you want a connector that can handle them, or one that can thrive in those conditions? To make them even better, these connectors are field serviceable, which means that you have direct access to the connection point at any point in time. Rather than having a permanent connection, DT connectors offer you the ability to make changes if needed. Some people use them for this fact alone.
Highly Durable
Field Serviceable
Environmental Protection
What protections do DT series connectors offer?
DT series connectors are known for their abrasion, impact, and moisture resistance. These resistances come from the fact that they have durable housing and create environmentally sealed connections. This makes them ideally suited for a range of applications and conditions. This is just one of the many reasons that you will find them in so many industries. Let’s take a quick glance at some places you may use DT series connectors.
Where would I use DT series connectors?
DT series connectors are built to be used in just about any environment, but keep in mind they are designed to handle the harshest conditions out there. So, you'll find them in marine applications such as marinas, repair shops, and industrial settings. Additionally, you'll find them in use in private workshops. Basically, they can be used anywhere as long as they meet the requirements of the applications. With the long life, ease of installation, and field serviceability, they will handle any task you have for longer than you may expect.
What connectors are available?
Pacer also carries the DTM, DTP, and DTHD series of environmentally sealed connectors. Each of these is built around handling specific power applications. They all offer the same high levels of protection. To learn more about the DTM, DTP, or DTHD series of connectors, simply click on the images below.
