Crimping Tool Suits DTM Series Solid Contacts

High Density Precision: Crimping Tool for DTM Series Solid Contacts

As modern vehicles become more complex, the density of wiring increases. The Deutsch DTM series (Size 20) is the compact solution for these high-density applications, rated for 7.5 amps and used extensively for sensors and low-current signals. The DTM Crimping Tool is a precision instrument designed for the delicate Size 20 solid contacts. Working with wires as small as 0.5mm² (20 AWG range), precision is paramount; a crushed or bent contact will not seat in the housing, leading to frustration and wasted parts. This tool provides the exact force and indent depth required to secure these miniature terminals without damage.

Essential for Sensor Wiring

This crimper is the go-to tool for wiring 5V sensors (MAP, TPS, Pressure) and CAN bus communication lines where DTM connectors are standard. The solid barrel crimp ensures that the resistance of the connection remains negligible, which is critical for 5V reference circuits where even a small voltage drop can skew sensor data and affect tuning accuracy. The integrated locator ensures the contact is held in the perfect position before the crimp is applied.
