Buy Deutsch DTM Connectors in Australia
If you are looking to buy Deutsch DTM connectors in Australia, 12Volt Motorsports stocks Deutsch DTM connector kits for motorsport wiring, ECU wiring, sensor wiring, switch wiring and low-current automotive electrical circuits. We are based in Altona Meadows in Melbourne's western suburbs and ship Australia-wide.
Deutsch DTM connectors are compact sealed connectors commonly used in professional motorsport wiring harnesses where space is limited and the circuit current is relatively low.
What Are Deutsch DTM Connectors?
Deutsch DTM connectors are miniature sealed connectors designed for low-current wiring applications. They use size 20 contacts and are commonly rated up to 7.5A per pin, depending on the terminal, wire size and application.
In motorsport wiring, DTM connectors are commonly used for sensors, ECU inputs, switch inputs, CAN wiring, low-current outputs, dash wiring and compact removable harness sections.
When Should I Use Deutsch DTM Connectors?
Use Deutsch DTM connectors when you need a compact sealed connector for low-current circuits. They are a good choice for sensors, switches, ECU signal wiring and small harness branches where a full-size Deutsch DT connector is larger than needed.
DTM connectors should not normally be used for high-current circuits such as fuel pumps, thermofans or larger power feeds. For those applications, use Deutsch DT connectors or Deutsch DTP connectors depending on the current draw and wire size.
Deutsch DTM Connector Sizes
Deutsch DTM connectors are available in common pin counts used for motorsport and automotive wiring harnesses. Choose the pin count based on the number of circuits required, plus any spare pins you want for future expansion.
| DTM Pin Count |
Common Use |
| 2 pin |
Two-wire sensors, switches, solenoids and simple signal circuits |
| 3 pin |
Three-wire sensors such as pressure sensors, position sensors and hall sensors |
| 4 pin |
CAN wiring, small sensor groups and compact branch connectors |
| 6 pin |
Small sub-harnesses, dash wiring and grouped low-current wiring |
| 8 pin |
Grouped sensors, switch panels and compact wiring branches |
| 12 pin |
Larger low-current sub-harnesses and multi-sensor wiring groups |
What Should I Use With Deutsch DTM Connectors?
Deutsch DTM connectors are commonly used with Tefzel wire, Raychem DR25 heatshrink, Sumitomo W5DL adhesive heatshrink, Deutsch connectors, ECU plugs and pins and engine sensors when building professional motorsport wiring harnesses.
For most DTM connector work, the correct crimp tool, contact size and wire size matter. A good crimp is critical for reliability, especially in motorsport environments with heat, vibration and moisture exposure.
