Buy Deutsch DTP Connectors in Australia
If you are looking to buy Deutsch DTP connectors in Australia, 12Volt Motorsports stocks Deutsch DTP connector kits for high current motorsport wiring, fuel pumps, thermofans, power feeds, off-road wiring and custom harness builds. We are based in Altona Meadows in Melbourne's western suburbs and ship Australia-wide.
The DTP is the high current member of the Deutsch DT family, used where DTM and DT are not large enough for the wire size or current draw. Every kit includes the plug, receptacle, both wedgelocks and size 12 contacts, one complete sealed connection per kit.
What Are Deutsch DTP Connectors?
Deutsch DTP connectors are sealed connectors using size 12 contacts rated 25 amps per pin on 12 to 14 AWG wire. Like the rest of the family, 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. For the full family background, read our guide: Deutsch Connectors Australia, DT, DTM, DTP and HD Series Explained.
Deutsch DTP Kit Range
DTP comes in lower pin counts because it is built around larger high current terminals. Choose from the number of high current circuits required. Click a kit to shop it.
Individual DTP housings, wedgelocks and size 12 contacts are also available, including the black DTP06-4S housing used on Haltech Nexus and PD16 installs. Call us for loose components or bulk contacts.

What Should I Use With Deutsch DTP Connectors?
Wire DTP circuits in 14 or 12 AWG Tefzel, sleeve in Raychem DR25 and seal exits with Sumitomo W5DL. Amphenol ATP connectors are fully intermateable with DTP. For circuits beyond 25 amps, see our power distribution range including TE SurLok bolted connections. A correct closed barrel crimp matters most on high current circuits, where a poor joint makes heat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy Deutsch DTP connectors in Australia?
12Volt Motorsports stocks Deutsch DTP connector kits in 2 and 4 way in Melbourne, with individual housings, wedgelocks and size 12 contacts available on request. We ship Australia-wide.
What are Deutsch DTP connectors used for?
Higher current wiring such as fuel pumps, thermofans, water pumps, power feeds, heavier auxiliary circuits and high current removable harness sections.
What is the current rating of Deutsch DTP connectors?
25 amps per pin using size 12 contacts, suited to 12 to 14 AWG wire. Always check the actual circuit current and wire size before choosing the connector.
Are Deutsch DTP connectors waterproof?
Yes. Assembled correctly with the wedgelock fitted, DTP 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 DT or DTP connectors?
Use DT for medium current general purpose circuits up to 13 amps. Use DTP where the current draw or wire size is beyond DT, such as larger fuel pumps, thermofans and heavier power feeds.
What if my circuit draws more than 25 amps?
Above 25 amps per pin you are beyond the DTP series. Options include Deutsch DTHD single contact connectors or bolted high current connections like the TE SurLok range in our power distribution collection. Call us and we will spec the right connection.
What is in a DTP connector kit?
Each kit includes the plug, the receptacle, both wedgelocks and the correct number of size 12 solid contacts, everything needed for one complete sealed connection.
Do DTP connectors work with Amphenol ATP?
Yes. Amphenol ATP is fully intermateable with Deutsch DTP. Housings mate together and contacts interchange, so you can mix the two families in one harness.
Do I need a special crimp tool for DTP contacts?
Yes. Solid barrel size 12 contacts need a closed barrel crimper such as the HDT-48-00 style tool set for size 12. Correct crimping matters most on high current circuits where a poor joint makes heat.
Do you ship Deutsch DTP connectors Australia-wide?
Yes. We ship to Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin and everywhere in between, usually same or next business day.
