Plug and Pins Only – Male Deutsch DTM-4 Connector (7.5 Amp)

Compact Sealed Connectivity for Sensitive Signals

The Deutsch DTM-4 Male Connector Kit is designed for applications where space is at a premium but reliability cannot be compromised. The DTM (Miniature) series is a smaller, lower-amperage version of the standard DT connector, rated for 7.5 Amps per circuit. This specific kit includes the DTM06-4S Plug housing (which holds female sockets, often referred to as the “Male” side of the connection assembly in loose terminology due to it plugging *into* the receptacle, or vice versa depending on context, but Haltech specifies this kit includes the Plug housing and Female pins). It is ideal for low-current signal wiring such as CAN bus communications, sensor returns, and logic-level switching.

Engineering Deep-Dive: Miniature Density

The DTM series uses Size 20 contacts, which accept 16-22 AWG wire. This allows for a much smaller connector footprint compared to the DT series, making it perfect for crowded ECU clusters or motorcycle harnesses. Despite the smaller size, it retains the robust thermoplastic construction, positive locking latch, and silicone rear grommet sealing of its larger siblings. The IP67 rating ensures that delicate digital signals (like CAN High/Low) are protected from moisture intrusion that could cause data corruption or bus errors.

Operational Benefits: Precision Data Integrity

In modern engine management, signal clarity is everything. The Size 20 contacts used in the DTM-4 are designed for high-density signal transmission. The crimped connection provides a stable, low-resistance path that is immune to the vibration that can crack solder joints on smaller wires. This connector is specifically suitable for the Elite ECU CAN port connections, allowing you to build custom length CAN extensions or device cables.

Fitment and Application Scope

The DTM-4 is the standard for:

• CAN Bus: Connecting dashes, wideband controllers, and expansion modules (Elite ECU CAN Port).
• Sensors: Small 4-wire sensors (e.g., specific O2 or position sensors).
• Low Current Actuators: Small stepper motors or solenoids.

Technical Specifications

Summary & Includes

The HT-031002 Kit allows you to terminate the “Device” side of a CAN connection or sensor harness. Compact, sealed, and reliable.

Includes:

• 1 x DTM06-4S Plug Housing
• 1 x Wedge Lock (Orange)
• 4 x Female Socket Contacts (Size 20)

Important Identification: This kit contains the housing that holds the **Female** pins. This is typically the connector on the wiring harness that plugs into a device (like an ECU or Sensor) that has rigid Male pins.
