The key position is a physical feature on the connector housing that only allows mating with the corresponding key position on the plug. This is critical in multi-connector harnesses where multiple 6-pin DT connectors are used for different circuits — the key position ensures the correct connector is mated to the correct circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCommercial truck engine harness (Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Volvo, Paccar)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAgricultural equipment harness (John Deere, Case IH, New Holland, AGCO)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConstruction machinery harness (Caterpillar, Komatsu, Volvo CE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine diesel engine harness (Cummins Marine, Volvo Penta)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMotorsport and performance vehicle custom harness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAssembly Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContacts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Size 16 contacts (0462-201-16141 female \/ 0460-202-16141 male) — order separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWedge lock:\u003c\/strong\u003e W6S wedge lock — insert after all contacts are seated to lock contacts in place\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSealing plugs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unused cavities must be sealed with cavity plugs to maintain IP67 rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMating plug:\u003c\/strong\u003e DT16-6P-KP01 (6-pin male plug, same key position)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the mating connector for DT16-6S-KP01?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The mating male plug is \u003cstrong\u003eDT16-6P-KP01\u003c\/strong\u003e — same series, 6-pin, plug (male), key position 01.
