Deutsch Contacts Technical Data
     
   
     
  Common Contacts  
 

The word “common” describes the Deutsch contact system well. Solid and stamped contacts can be used interchangeably in any Deutsch connector.

 
     
 
The stamped and formed style includes 10 sizes each of pin and socket contacts that terminate 10-22 AWG (5.0 - 0.35mm²). The specific contact is determined by the outside diameter of wire insulation and conductor size.
 
     
 
The solid style contact terminates wire from 6 AWG to 20 AWG (13 - 0.5mm²). The solid style is available in 6 sizes each of pin and socket. The applicable contact is determined by the size of the conductor only.
 
     
 
The selection of Deutsch Industrial connectors insures that the contact termination system will be compatible. This reduces changes in the assembly of the wire harness. It also improves performance, reliability and maintainability. Critical functions to any electrical system. The use of a common contact
system eliminates many of the failures reported in harnesses where hundreds of different terminations are used. The end result of selecting Deutsch is increased profits and long term performance.
 
     
  Crimped Contacts  
 
Mechanically crimping contacts is now the dominant wire termination method, for some very good reasons:
 
     
 
1) Since no wet process is involved, corrosion is not a problem. No adhesives, fluxes or additives are used.
 
     
 
2) Strength, accuracy and over-all reliability of a crimped contact are controlled by the crimp tool, not the operator. The field tools (except #4 solid style) release the contact only after the full crimping cycle is completed. The tools are relatively inexpensive.
 
     
 
3) With smaller wire, the crimp is as strong as the wire itself.
 
     
 
4) The joint can be inspected visually. Viewing the wire through an inspection hole in the contact makes inspection quick, easy and sure, both by the operator and by the inspector.
 
     
 
5) The crimping tool is universal, it accepts both pins and sockets of many types.
