TE Connectivity DT Series Automotive Socket Contact, Crimp, 16-20 AWG

The TE Connectivity DT Series Automotive Socket Contact is a precision-engineered crimp terminal designed for creating robust and reliable electrical connections in demanding vehicular and industrial environments. Manufactured by a global leader in connectivity solutions, this socket contact is part of the trusted DT series, engineered to mate seamlessly with corresponding DT pin contacts.

Its primary function is to terminate 20 to 16 AWG wires via a secure crimp connection. This method ensures a gas-tight, high-conductivity joint that resists corrosion and maintains signal integrity. When paired with its mating pin, the connection forms a sealed interface, offering excellent resistance to vibration, moisture, dust, and temperature fluctuations commonly encountered in automotive, transportation, and heavy machinery applications.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Robust Construction: Built to withstand the harsh conditions of automotive environments, including under-bonnet heat, engine vibration, and exposure to fluids.
• Sealed Connection: When mated, the connection is designed to be sealed, protecting the electrical contact from contaminants that could cause failure.
• Vibration Resistant: The secure crimp and connector design prevent loosening, ensuring a stable electrical connection even in high-vibration settings.
• Reliable Performance: Provides a consistent and durable electrical path, critical for safety systems, sensors, lighting, and other essential vehicle circuits.

This contact is an essential component for automotive wiring harness assembly, repairs, and custom electrical projects where proven reliability is non-negotiable.
