What are DTP Series Connectors?
The DTP series connectors are part of the highly respected Deutsch connector family, which is known for its superior performance in tough and demanding environments. Specifically engineered to support higher amperages, the DTP series is designed to outpace many other connector lines in terms of power handling capacity. These connectors are environmentally sealed, which helps to prevent moisture, dirt, and other contaminants from interfering with the connection. This protection ensures the connectors maintain optimal performance, even in harsh environments. Known for their reliability, robust design, and ease of installation, DTP series connectors are ideal for applications where high protection and the ability to handle high power are critical.

Where are these products implemented?
DTP series connectors are implemented when protection is required
DTP series connectors are built for applications where reliable protection is essential, especially for circuits that carry 25 amps of continuous current. The durability and long-lasting nature of the DTP series make it a preferred choice for use in marine environments, industrial applications, and any setting where connectors need to withstand demanding conditions. These connectors are ideal for systems that require high power capacity in environments with frequent exposure to moisture or other environmental factors. To make installation easier and more efficient, a complete range of compatible tools and accessories are available, ensuring that the installation process is as smooth as possible.
What are some benefits of DTP series connectors?
The DTP series connectors offer a variety of advantages that make them a reliable choice for a range of applications. One of the most notable benefits is their exceptional environmental protection. These connectors are built to withstand moisture, dust, dirt, and other contaminants, making them perfect for use in challenging environments. In addition to their protective qualities, the DTP series is designed to resist wear and tear, providing long-term reliability in the field. Another important feature is their field serviceability, which can greatly reduce maintenance costs. Unlike static connectors that require more complicated repairs or replacements, DTP series connectors can be easily serviced in the field, offering quicker and more cost-effective solutions. The combination of durability, environmental resistance, and easy maintenance makes the DTP series connectors a top choice for industries where reliability and ease of service are paramount.

What wire gauges and power applications are they built for?
The DTP series connectors are engineered to handle high-power applications, supporting wire gauges from 14 AWG to 10 AWG. They are compatible with size 12 contacts, which are designed to accommodate the larger wire sizes typically used in high-power circuits. These connectors are rated for 25-amp continuous power, making them suitable for applications that require reliable, high-power connections. The "P" in the DTP series name stands for "Power," highlighting the connector’s ability to handle power-intensive tasks. Their flexibility and reliability in power-heavy systems make them a go-to solution across multiple industries.
What protections do DTP series connectors offer?
DTP series connectors are designed to offer extensive protection against a variety of environmental hazards, ensuring they continue to operate reliably even in the harshest conditions. One of the most important protections they offer is against moisture as they prevent corrosion and other moisture-related issues from affecting the electrical connection. DTP series connectors are also highly resistant to abrasion and impact, making them ideal for environments where physical wear and tear are concerns. This combination of protection against environmental factors ensures the DTP series connectors maintain their functionality and longevity even in difficult settings.
Where would I use DTP series connectors?
Their ability to resist environmental hazards such as dust, dirt, and moisture makes them an ideal choice for industrial applications where other connectors may fail. These connectors are especially popular in marine environments, where saltwater and harsh weather conditions can cause standard connectors to degrade quickly. They are also commonly found in repair shops, manufacturing plants, and personal workshops, offering a reliable solution for demanding electrical connection needs. Additionally, they are useful in outdoor applications where exposure to the elements could cause other connectors to malfunction.
What other connectors are available?
In addition to the DTP series, Pacer offers several other Deutsch connector series, including the DTM, DT, and DTHD series. Like the DTP series, each of these connectors is built for durability and environmental protection, ensuring a reliable connection in challenging environments. The DTM series, for example, is ideal for smaller, low-amperage applications, while the DT series offers a more general-purpose solution. The DTHD series is designed for even higher amperage handling, catering to heavy-duty power requirements. No matter the need, you can trust that each of these series will provide the same high level of performance and environmental protection that Deutsch connectors are known for.
