This video provides step-by-step instructions on how to properly insert and remove contacts when using TE Connectivity's DEUTSCH DT Series Connectors. Visit http://www.laddinc.com for more information. DT Series Contact Insertion Step 1: Grasp crimped contact approximately one inch behind the contact barrel. Step 2: Hold connector with rear grommet facing you. Step 3: Push contact straight into connector grommet until a click is felt. A slight tug will confirm that it is properly locked in place. Step 4: Once all contacts are in place, insert the wedgelock into the housing. DT Series Contact Removal Step 1: Remove the wedgelock using a DT-RT1 removal tool, a screwdriver, a hooked tool or a pair of needle nose pliers. Step 2: To remove the contacts, gently pull wire backwards, while at the same time releasing the locking finger by moving it away from the contact with a screwdriver. Step 3: Hold the rear seal in place, as removing the contact will displace the seal.

This episode of Well Connected shows how DEUTSCH DT series keyed wedgelocks help prevent mismating. TE Connectivity's DEUTSCH DT series electrical connectors require secondary wedgelocks, which are sold separately. The wedgelocks help provide proper contact alignment within each connector. Secondary wedgelocks are assembled at the mating interface and click into place. For 2, 3, & 4 way DT series connectors, keyed wedgelocks are available to help prevent mismating. Visit https://laddinc.com/ for more information.

This episode of Well Connected shows the DT series B016 receptacle modification, which helps prevent mis-mating. The B016 is available for the DT 12 way connectors, DT13/15, and DTF13/15 PCB Series connectors. In addition to the four keying positions (A, B, C, or D) and color coding, the B016 enhancement gives the user both visual and tactile proof of correct mating, helping to eliminate mis-mating opportunities during assembly. Please note the P012 plug is the required mate for the B016 receptacle to make the enhancement effective. The DT P012 plugs provide enhanced front seal retention resulting in an ultra tight environmental seal. The enhanced seal retention keeps the seal in place during mating and unmating. The P012 modification requires an enhanced P012 wedgelock. The DEUTSCH P012 modification is available in 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 cavity arrangements. P012 plugs have a black connector body except for the 8 and 12 cavity arrangements, where the color is based on the key. Visit https://laddinc.com/ for more information.
