TE Connectivity enhances heavy equipment reliability with next generation snap-cap electrical connectors

In its quest to enhance reliability in harsh environments and extend the trust and dependability of complex vehicle electrical systems, TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensors, helping to solve this problem with its next generation 2-pin and 3-pin connector series innovation: the rear latching snap-cap DEUTSCH DT connector with wire seal covers.

“For decades DEUTSCH has offered field-proven, reliable, harsh environment sealed connector systems to industrial equipment and commercial transportation markets,” said Eric Laurer, global senior manager of product management for TE’s Industrial & Commercial Transportation business. “Reliable DT snap cap products are fully interface compatible with existing DT parts in service and are perfect for rugged connections to a wide variety of solenoid, actuator, sensor, and other device applications; helping customers meet safety, productivity, efficiency, and sustainability objectives in an increasingly interconnected world.”

An extension of its existing DEUTSCH DT 2/3 Connector Series, the new snap-cap DT Connector provides improved seal performance, interface compatibility with predecessor parts, and a secure seal that is fully serviceable should replacement be needed. It is ideal for inline wire-to-wire, wire-to-device, and wire-to-board connectivity.

The snap-in-place rear caps provide wire seal protection in standard and shrink tube adapted configurations for historical DT connector requirements as well as IP67 and IP68 ratings, offering a seamless design transition from legacy solutions as well as for new applications.
