• Constructed with corrosion-resistant materials suitable for aerospace, defense, and marine applications.

Applications

• Aerospace avionics systems
• Defense vehicle electrical networks
• Marine navigation equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact contact configuration and housing color against the specific application requirements. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the desired cable length and termination style. Ensure compatibility with existing Deutsch connector housings and tooling. Check for any recent product change notices affecting availability or specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required current rating and voltage levels specified in the datasheet. Consider the environmental sealing needs and determine if a straight or angled configuration is necessary. Evaluate the mechanical strain relief requirements for the specific installation environment. Ensure the chosen variant meets all relevant military or industry standards.

Part Context

This part is part of the broader Deutsch connector family known for durability. It complements other DT series components such as housings, contacts, and backshells. The design supports high-density interconnect solutions in compact spaces. It is commonly used where standard industrial connectors fail due to environmental stressors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the pinout, housing size, and contact type. Verify that substitute parts meet the same environmental and electrical standards. Cross-reference with official TE Connectivity substitution guides for approved alternatives.
