Pins only – Female pins to suit Male Deutsch DTM Connectors (Size 20, 7.5 Amp)

Replacement Size 20 Sockets for DTM Connectors

In the world of custom harness building, having spare terminals is essential. This pack of Female Socket Contacts is designed for the Deutsch DTM Series (Size 20). Rated for 7.5 Amps, these terminals are the internal conductive elements that fit into the DTM06 Plug housings. Whether you have damaged a pin during extraction, are re-terminating a shortened wire, or simply stocking up your consumables drawer, these high-quality contacts ensure you can complete the job with OEM-level precision.

Engineering Deep-Dive: Contact Geometry

These Size 20 contacts are designed to accept wire gauges from 16 to 22 AWG. They feature a closed-barrel design for crimping, which provides superior mechanical strength and gas-tight electrical bonding compared to open-barrel terminals. The socket end is precision machined to provide consistent mating force with the male pin, ensuring low contact resistance even after multiple mating cycles. The plating material (typically nickel or tin) is selected to resist corrosion and fretting, critical for low-voltage signal applications like CAN bus or sensor networks.

Operational Benefits: Repair and Fabrication

Having a supply of loose pins allows for mistakes to be fixed without buying entire new connector kits. If a wire is crimped incorrectly or needs to be shortened, simply cut it, strip it, and crimp on a new socket. These pins are compatible with all standard Deutsch DTM06 housings (2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12-way).
