description
Deutsch DT series connectors provide superior electrical properties and weather resistance in a user friendly product. The DT connector system is the choice for many top NASCAR, IRL, Grand American Road Racing Association Racing Teams, and by leading equipment manufactures due to its reliability and common terminal/crimper system.
These sizes mate with their own size no matter the gauge of wire used. The Deutsch DT–series connectors offered by Summit Racing work with 16-18 gauge wire and 14-16 gauge wire. FYI, you can locate DTM series connectors. They’re designed for small gauge wire. DTP series connectors are for larger gauge wire.

If you need to disassemble them, it’s relatively easy too. The orange wedge locks on the plug side are disassembled by simply inserting a small flat blade screwdriver into the side of the assembly. Give the screwdriver a twist and the wedge lock will pop out. Inside the housing, you’ll notice a couple of tabs. Depress the tabs with the screwdriver, tug the back of the wire and the wire/contact assembly will release.
Removing the green wedgelocks is different. A Lisle Deutsch Terminal Tool makes short work of the process. In operation, first select the appropriate wire gauge on the tool and then insert it from the backside (wire side) of the socket. Push forward and you’ll feel the wedgelock release. The wire can then be cleanly removed.
Deutsch’s DT Series connectors offer field proven reliability and rugged quality. The DT design strengths include optional flange mounting, multi-pin arrangements, rectangular, thermoplastic housing and integrated latch for mating. The DT Series kit features various plugs and receptacles for 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12 cavity arrangements with contact size 16 (13 amps), as well as wedgelocks to assure contact alignment and retention. The kit also includes 14-16 AWG and 16-18 AWG pins and sockets, seals, jiffy splices, and removal tools.
