Q: What is the difference between DT06-8S and DT04-8P?
A: DT06-8S is the socket (female) side — it receives the pins. DT04-8P is the plug (male) side — it holds the pins. They mate together to form a complete 8-pin waterproof connection.
Q: What does the E005 suffix mean on DT06-8S-E005?
A: E005 is a keying option that physically prevents the connector from mating with other DT connectors in the same harness, eliminating mismating errors in multi-connector installations.
Q: Are terminals included?
A: Yes, terminals are included with all variants.
