DTM-3-MOROCCOTED-KIT

Overview

The DTM-3-MOROCCOTED-KIT is a specialized automotive connector kit from the TE Connectivity DEUTSCH DTM series, designed for harsh environment applications. It features a 3-position plug housing with a 4.19 mm pitch and straight cable mount configuration. The assembly utilizes crimp termination for wire gauges ranging from 20 to 16 AWG. Rated for 7.5 A current and operating between -55°C and +125°C, the gray polyamide housing provides IP68 and IP6K9K ingress protection. This kit includes morocco-ted components to ensure reliable signal integrity in commercial and industrial vehicle chassis or under-hood environments.

Feature Summary

• Provides robust environmental sealing with IP68 and IP6K9K ratings against debris and moisture
• Features a thermoplastic polyamide housing resistant to UV exposure and wide temperature ranges
• Utilizes DEUTSCH size 16 contact system compatible with standard crimping tools
• Includes morocco-ted elements for enhanced durability in severe operational conditions

Applications

• Commercial and industrial vehicle chassis connections
• Under-hood electrical systems requiring high reliability
• Harsh environment signal circuit interconnections
• Automotive sensor and actuator wiring harnesses

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific morocco-ted variant matches the required environmental specifications for the target application. Confirm compatibility with existing DEUTSCH size 16 contacts and crimping tooling. Ensure the kit contents align with the exact position count and termination type needed for the assembly. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with official TE Connectivity documentation to confirm current production status and datasheet revisions before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this kit when a 3-position sealed connection is required for 16-20 AWG wires in harsh environments. The DTM series offers a smaller form factor compared to standard DT connectors while maintaining similar performance characteristics. Consider the morocco-ted specification if specific corrosion resistance or material properties are mandated by the design requirements. Ensure the straight mounting style fits within the available spatial constraints of the vehicle architecture.

Part Context

This component belongs to the DEUTSCH DTM series, which builds upon the proven reliability of the DT family but targets smaller wire gauge applications. The DTM line maintains the same interface standards as DT connectors, allowing for mixed usage within assemblies. It is specifically engineered for commercial and industrial transport sectors where space constraints and environmental severity demand compact yet durable interconnect solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 3-position DTM series plugs with identical pitch and termination methods. Verify that any alternative maintains the same IP68/IP6K9K rating and current capacity. Check if non-morroco variants are acceptable if the specific treatment is not critical. Ensure mating receptacles match the pin count and locking mechanism.
