Buy Deutsch DTM Connectors in Australia
If you are looking to buy Deutsch DTM connectors in Australia, 12Volt Motorsports stocks Deutsch DTM connector kits from 2 to 12 way for motorsport wiring, ECU wiring, sensor wiring, switch wiring and low current automotive circuits. We are based in Altona Meadows in Melbourne's western suburbs and ship Australia-wide.
The DTM is the smallest connector in the Deutsch DT family and the go to choice where space is limited and circuit current is low. Every kit includes the plug, receptacle, both wedgelocks and size 20 contacts, one complete sealed connection per kit.
What Are Deutsch DTM Connectors?
Deutsch DTM connectors are miniature sealed connectors using size 20 contacts rated 7.5 amps per pin on 20 to 24 AWG wire. The thermoplastic housings and silicone seals operate from -55 to +125 degrees C, withstand immersion under three feet of water when properly assembled, are rated to 1500 VAC and show no damage after 20G vibration testing. Contacts click home with tactile feedback and are held by a secondary wedgelock. For the full family background, read our guide: Deutsch Connectors Australia, DT, DTM, DTP and HD Series Explained.

What Should I Use With Deutsch DTM Connectors?
Wire DTM circuits in 22 AWG Tefzel, sleeve in Raychem DR25, seal exits with Sumitomo W5DL and pair with engine sensors and ECU plugs and pins. Amphenol ATM connectors are fully intermateable with DTM if you want the same connector at a different price point. A correct closed barrel crimp is critical for reliability in heat, vibration and moisture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy Deutsch DTM connectors in Australia?
12Volt Motorsports stocks Deutsch DTM connector kits from 2 to 12 way in Melbourne, with individual housings, wedgelocks and size 20 contacts available on request. We ship Australia-wide.
What are Deutsch DTM connectors used for?
Low current wiring such as sensors, ECU signals, switches, dash wiring, CAN wiring and compact motorsport harness branches. Common examples: MAP, IAT and coolant temperature sensors, pressure transducers, hall effect sensors, flex fuel sensors and boost solenoid triggers.
What is the current rating of Deutsch DTM connectors?
7.5 amps per pin using size 20 contacts on 20 to 24 AWG wire. Always check the circuit current, for 13 amp circuits use Deutsch DT and for 25 amp circuits use Deutsch DTP.
Are Deutsch DTM connectors waterproof?
Yes. Assembled correctly with the wedgelock fitted, DTM connectors are sealed with silicone rear wire and interface seals, withstand immersion under three feet of water and operate from -55 to +125 degrees C.
Should I use Deutsch DTM or DT connectors?
Use DTM for compact low current circuits such as sensors and ECU signals. Use DT where a higher current rating or larger wire size is required, such as solenoids, relays and lighting.
What is in a DTM connector kit?
Each kit includes the plug, the receptacle, both wedgelocks and the correct number of size 20 solid contacts, everything needed for one complete sealed connection.
Do DTM connectors work with Amphenol ATM?
Yes. Amphenol ATM is fully intermateable with Deutsch DTM. Housings mate together and contacts interchange, so you can mix the two families in one harness.
Do I need gold or nickel contacts?
Our DTM kits ship with nickel plated contacts, which are correct for standard sensor, signal and power circuits. Gold plated contacts are preferred for thermocouple, lambda and other millivolt level circuits where contact resistance matters. Call us and we can order gold contacts in for your build.
Do I need a special crimp tool for DTM contacts?
Yes. Solid barrel size 20 contacts need a closed barrel crimper such as the HDT-48-00 style tool. Correct crimping is critical for reliability, current capacity and serviceability.
Do you ship Deutsch DTM connectors Australia-wide?
Yes. We ship to Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin and everywhere in between, usually same or next business day.
