Applications
Q: What is an HD30 connector?
A: DEUTSCH HD30 environmentally sealed connectors are designed for cable to cable applications. The HD30 connectors are used in harsh environment applications where even a small degradation in connection may be critical.
Q: What are the appropriate applications for HD30 connectors?
A: Truck, Bus, Off-highway, Construction, Agriculture, Mining, Emergency Vehicles, Forestry, Recreational, Motorcycle
Q: When should I use HD30 connectors?
A: DEUTSCH HD30 connectors provide reliability and performance on the engine or transmission, under the hood, for power control units, bulkheads, on the chassis, or in the cab. HD30 connectors offer field proven reliability and rugged quality. The HD30 design strengths include optional flange mounting, multi-pin arrangements, lower costs, and design flexibility. HD30 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.
