Key Specifications

About the Deutsch DTM Series

The Deutsch DTM series is a miniature sealed connector system developed by TE Connectivity for demanding automotive and industrial applications. DTM connectors are widely used in motorsport wiring looms, off-road vehicle builds, marine electronics, and agricultural equipment where IP67 sealing, vibration resistance, and compact size are required. The color-coded housing (Brown/Green) allows circuit identification in complex wiring systems.

Variant Guide

• Brown Female / Brown Female 15CM – Brown socket housing, bare or pre-wired
• Green Female / Green Female 15CM – Green socket housing, bare or pre-wired
• Brown Male / Brown Male 15CM – Brown plug housing, bare or pre-wired
• Green Male / Green Male 15CM – Green plug housing, bare or pre-wired

Installation Notes

• Use Deutsch DTM series terminals (size 20 contacts) for proper crimp fitment

• Wedge lock must be fully seated after terminal insertion to secure contacts

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between Brown and Green DTM connectors?
A: Brown and Green housing colors are used for circuit identification in complex wiring systems. Electrically identical – select the color matching your existing wiring loom or system design.

Q: What wire gauge is compatible?
A: DTM series connectors accept 20–16 AWG wire with the appropriate size 20 terminals and wire seals.

Q: Is this IP67 rated?
A: Yes. The DTM series is rated IP67 (1 meter water immersion for 30 minutes) when properly assembled with wire seals and wedge lock.

Q: Can I use this for motorsport applications?
A: Yes. Deutsch DTM connectors are widely used in motorsport wiring looms, ECU harnesses, and sensor circuits where vibration resistance and compact sealed connectors are required.

Q: Are terminals included?
A: Terminals are not included with bare connectors. Pre-wired variants have leads pre-crimped with terminals installed.
