Direct-fit replacement for Deutsch DT series part numbers DT04-6P-C017 (6-pin male plug) and DT06-6S-C017 (6-pin female receptacle) in black housing, a 1.6mm pitch IP68 waterproof connector set used in automotive, marine, motorsport, and heavy-duty equipment harness applications. The black housing variant is the standard colour for most automotive and motorsport applications; the C017 anti-mismate coding key prevents incorrect mating with other DT series connectors.

Deutsch DT Black vs Other Colours

Deutsch DT connectors are available in multiple housing colours (black, grey, green, red) for circuit identification in multi-connector harness assemblies. Black is the standard colour for general automotive and motorsport applications. Colour does not affect electrical performance – only the C-code anti-mismate key determines mating compatibility.

C017 Anti-Mismate Coding

The C017 coding key prevents mating with DT connectors using different C-codes (e.g., C015, C016). Always match the C-code on both sides of the connector pair, regardless of housing colour.

Compatible Applications

• Automotive ECU harness: Sensor arrays, body control module connectors
• Marine / boat: Engine harness, navigation electronics
• Motorsport / aftermarket ECU: Haltech, MoTeC, Link, AEM ECU harness connectors
• Heavy equipment: Agricultural and construction machinery harness

FAQ

Q: Is the black DT04-6P-C017 electrically the same as other colours?
A: Yes – housing colour does not affect electrical performance. Only the C-code determines mating compatibility.

Q: Can DT04-6P-C017 black mate with DT06-6S-C017 grey?
A: Yes – as long as both have the same C-code (C017), different housing colours can be mated. The C-code, not the colour, determines mating compatibility.
