This is the plug (male housing) variant — compare with HDP26-24-31PE-L017 which is the receptacle (female housing). The HDP20 series is the standard for high pin count sealed connections in commercial trucks, agricultural equipment, and industrial vehicles. The 31-pin configuration supports complex multi-circuit harness connections in a single IP67-rated connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e HDP24-24-31PE-L017\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deutsch \/ TE Connectivity HDP20\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plug (male housing — accepts male pin contacts)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 31 pins\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Size 20 (7.5A per contact)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIP Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP67\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20–24AWG (0.5–0.35mm²)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e -55°C to +125°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glass-filled nylon (PA66-GF), UL94 V-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHDP24 vs HDP26 — Plug vs Receptacle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHDP24-24-31PE-L017 (this product):\u003c\/strong\u003e Plug housing.

These are different from DT series size 16 contacts — do not mix contact sizes between series. The size 20 contacts require the Deutsch HDT-48-00 crimp tool with size 20 dies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow does the HDP20 series locking mechanism work?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HDP20 series uses a lever-actuated locking mechanism: a lever on the plug housing engages a ramp on the receptacle housing, drawing the two halves together and locking them in the mated position. This provides a positive mating force that ensures all 31 contacts are fully engaged simultaneously. To unmate: depress the lever release and pull the plug straight out. Do not pull the cable — always grip the plug housing when mating and unmating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the current rating for HDP20 size 20 contacts?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize 20 contacts are rated at 7.5A per contact. For a 31-pin connector with all contacts loaded at 7.5A: total current = 232.5A. In practice, not all contacts carry maximum current simultaneously — the connector’s total current capacity is limited by the housing’s thermal dissipation. For circuits requiring more than 7.5A per contact, use DT series size 16 contacts (13A) or DTP series size 12 contacts (25A).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommercial trucks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cab-to-chassis main harness plug connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgricultural equipment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tractor-to-implement and ECM harness plug connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction equipment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multi-circuit control harness plug connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustrial vehicles:\u003c\/strong\u003e Forklift and material handling equipment harness connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePackage Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 piece — HDP24-24-31PE-L017 31-pin automotive wire harness plug (housing only or complete set as specified).
