DEUTSCH DT-XT Connectors

DEUTSCH electrical connectors will stand up to the harsh environmental challenges that are common to industrial markets that require advanced performance. Proper parts, procedures, and tooling must be used.

• Temperature: Operating at temperatures from -55° C to +125° C continuous at rated current.
• Durability: No electrical or mechanical defects after 100 cycles of engagement and disengagement.
• Vibration: No unlocking or unmating and exhibits no mechanical or physical damage after sinusoidal vibration levels of 20 G’s at 10 to 2000 Hz in each of the three mutually perpendicular planes. No electrical discontinuities longer than 1 microsecond.
• Physical Shock: No unlocking, unmating, or other unsatisfactory result during or after 50 G’s in each of three mutually perpendicular planes. No electrical discontinuities longer than 1 microsecond. MIL-STD 202, Method 213, Condition “C”.
• Fluid Resistance: Connectors show no damage when exposed to most fluids used in industrial applications.
• Insulation Resistance: 1000 megohms minimum at 25° C.
• Moisture Resistance: Properly wired and mated connections will withstand immersion under three feet of water without loss of electronic qualities or leakage.
• Dielectric Withstanding Voltage: Current leakage less than 2 milliamps at 1500 VAC.
• Thermal Cycle: No cracking, chipping or leaking after 20 test cycles from -55° C to +125° C.

• Snap-in HCR (High consistency rubber) Seals: Located on the back of the covers without exceeding the dimensions of the enclosures, which allows for flexible cable exits and movements and protects against damage during insertion or removal of the terminal.
• Housing: Available in various color codes. The colored housings facilitate and simplify the insertion of wire harnesses through visual components, which prevents mismating and the need for labeling wires.
• Advanced Sealing Materials: Offer greater flexibility, which results in improved tear resistance, while a rear seal cover protects against water ingress. The DT-XT Connector fulfils the specifications of the Heavy-Duty Electrical Connector Performance Standard test SAE J2030. 
• Cutting-edge Seal Technology: Makes the DT-XT a reliable sealed mated system, preventing electrical failures in critical wiring applications while providing high sealing requirements for harsh environments. 
• Integrated Rear Covers: Removes the bend radius of the seal. By seating the rear seal deeper into the connector, the rear cover takes this stress protecting the seal and preventing leak path.
• Thermoplastic Plug Housing: Forms a covalent bond with the LSR seal, resulting in a strong interlock. This prevents fluid ingress and seal loss or misalignment, even though repeated mating and un-mating.
