Applications
Q: What is an HD10 connector?
A: DEUTSCH HD10 environmentally sealed connectors are designed for cable to cable and cable to board applications. The HD10 connectors are used in harsh environment applications where even a small degradation in connection may be critical.
Q: What are the appropriate applications for HD10 connectors?
A: Truck, Bus, Off-highway, Construction, Agriculture, Mining, Emergency Vehicles, Forestry, Recreational, Marine, Motorcycle
Q: When should I use HD10 connectors?
A: DEUTSCH HD10 connectors provide reliability and performance on the engine or transmission, under the hood, on controllers, as a data link connector for diagnostics, on the chassis, or in the cab. HD10 connectors offer field proven reliability and rugged quality. The HD10 design strengths include optional flange mounting, multi-pin arrangements, lower costs, and design flexibility. HD10 connectors offer the designer the ability to use multiple size contacts within a single shell. Several accessories are available including backshells, strain relief, and dust caps.
