Deutsch DTM / DT / DTP / DT13 / DT15 Waterproof Connector with Terminal – Male & Female, DTM04-2P to 12P

Multi-series Deutsch waterproof connector sets covering the full Deutsch product family — DTM (compact, size 20), DT (standard, size 16), DTP (high-current, size 12), DT13 (size 13 contacts), and DT15 (size 15 contacts) — each with matched male and female housings, contacts, wedge locks, and wire seals. This listing allows selection of the specific Deutsch series and pin count required for a given application, providing a single source for the complete Deutsch connector range.

Deutsch Series Technical Comparison

• DTM series (DTM04/DTM06): Size 20 contacts, 7.5A per pin, 20–24AWG. Compact housing (40% smaller than DT). For signal wiring, low-current sensors, and space-constrained applications. IP67.
• DT series (DT04/DT06): Size 16 contacts, 13A per pin, 16–22AWG. Standard housing. The most widely used Deutsch series for general automotive and industrial harness wiring. IP67.
• DTP series (DTP04/DTP06): Size 12 contacts, 25A per pin, 12–16AWG. Larger housing. For high-current circuits: battery connections, motor power, high-draw actuators. IP67.
• DT13 series: Size 13 contacts, intermediate current rating between DT and DTP. For applications requiring higher current than DT but smaller housing than DTP.
• DT15 series: Size 15 contacts. For specific OEM applications requiring size 15 contact geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose between DTM, DT, and DTP for my application?

Identify the highest current in any single circuit of the connector. If all circuits are below 7.5A and wire is 20–24AWG — use DTM. If any circuit is 7.5–13A or wire is 16–18AWG — use DT. If any circuit exceeds 13A or wire is 12–16AWG — use DTP. When in doubt, use DT — it is the most versatile series with the widest availability of accessories and the largest installed base.

Are DTM and DT contacts interchangeable?

No. DTM uses size 20 contacts; DT uses size 16 contacts. The contact sizes are different and are not interchangeable between series. DTM housings will not accept DT contacts, and vice versa. Each series requires its own specific contacts and crimp tool dies.

What crimp tools are required for each series?

• DTM (size 20): Deutsch HDT-48-00 with size 20 die, or TE Connectivity 91285-1
• DT (size 16): Deutsch HDT-48-00 with size 16 die (standard die included with tool)
• DTP (size 12): Deutsch HDT-48-00 with size 12 die, or dedicated DTP crimp tool

Can I use DT connectors in a DTM housing?

No. DTM housings are physically smaller than DT housings and are designed for size 20 contacts only. Attempting to insert size 16 (DT) contacts into a DTM housing will damage the housing cavity. Always match the contact size to the housing series.

Typical Applications

• DTM: ECU signal wiring, sensor sub-harnesses, low-current actuator connections
• DT: General automotive harness wiring, agricultural implement connections, marine wiring
• DTP: Battery connections, motor power wiring, high-current actuator circuits
• DT13/DT15: OEM replacement connectors for specific vehicle applications
