FAQs
What size cable can be used with this connector?
This connector is designed for cable sizes ranging from 0.5 to 1.5mm², which corresponds to AWG 20 to 16.
Does this kit include the pins and the mating plug?
No, this kit includes the 4-piece receptacle with its integrated wedgelock. Separate pins/sockets for the wires and a mating plug connector are typically purchased separately.
What is a wedgelock?
A wedgelock is a component integrated into the connector housing that helps to secure the terminals in place, preventing them from backing out due to vibration or shock.
What type of crimping tool is recommended?
A Deutsch-style crimping tool specifically designed for the terminals you are using is recommended for optimal and reliable crimps.
Can this connector be used in harsh environments?
Yes, Deutsch connectors are known for their robust design and are suitable for use in demanding environments, including automotive, industrial, and marine applications, due to their sealing and secure terminal retention.
How do I ensure a waterproof connection?
While the receptacle itself offers a degree of environmental protection, achieving a fully waterproof connection often requires using appropriate seals on the terminals and ensuring the mating plug also has adequate sealing features.
Troubleshooting
Terminals are loose after insertion
Ensure the wedgelock is fully engaged and seated correctly. Verify that the terminals were properly crimped to the wires using the recommended tool.
Connector does not mate properly with plug
Check for obstructions in the receptacle or plug. Ensure correct terminal orientation and that the wedgelock is fully engaged.
Wire pull-out from terminal
Re-crimp the terminal to the wire using a compatible tool and ensuring the correct wire gauge is used. A poor crimp is the most common cause.
