Applications
Q: What is a DTP connector?
A: DEUTSCH DTP environmentally sealed connectors are designed for cable to cable and cable to board applications. DTP connectors are used in harsh environment applications where even a small degradation in connection may be critical.
Q: What are the appropriate applications for DTP connectors?
A: Truck, Bus, Off-highway, Construction, Agriculture, Mining, Emergency Vehicles, Forestry, Recreational, Marine, Motorcycle
Q: When should I use DTP connectors?
A: DEUTSCH DTP connectors provide reliability and performance on the engine or transmission, under the hood, on power control units, on the chassis, or in the cab. DTP connectors offer field proven reliability and rugged quality. The DTP design strengths include optional flange mounting, multi-pin arrangements, lower costs, and design flexibility. DTP connectors offer the designer the ability to use multiple size 12 contacts, each with 25 amp continuous capacity, within a single shell.
