What is a Deutsch Connector? The Basics - Modern Racing

The first installment in the Modern Racing tech series explores Deutsch Connectors. What are they, how do they work, and why do we like them. You can find Deutsch Connectors on our ProMod builds all the way to our street cars. We use them on anything that requires a quality, weatherproof connector.

Moving to Deutsche for my DIY projects and this was really helpful. Appreciate the excellent video.

What's the difference between the gray and black deutsch connectors????

[@rotorspin6127]

This is the best explanatory Deutsch connector video, the fog has lifted ! Thank you

Would you recommend DT for motorcycle light wiring? I’m adding a street legal kit to a dirt bike.

[@doyourbest7655]

Question. What is done about waterproofing the electrical connection. This off road build will need to address water, and it might be fairly high, particularly wires running front to rear at the floor board level. These might not be the kind I am looking for.

Hi.. what's the ratcheting crimper you held up in this video for the open barrel connectors? It had red handles

[@cncsphere]

Just started using the Deutsch connectors. They're awesome.

1000 subs. woo woo

Great video. Do you have a more in depth video on a DTM connector?

[@harryhirschman5138]

Need close ups of the pin and lock insertions to make the videos useful.

[@aros007z]

Awesomeness

[@patrickpeterman8736]

good video- would have been better if you had provided a close up of pinning and depinning;thank,s pjp

[@chriswoolvin7284]

What is the standard for which plug is the power side?
I assume female but it uses male pins so it’s a tad confusing

[@timsexton]

Do yourself a favor and giddy-up on the closed-barrel connectors. They will require the special crimper tool, but they are so much nicer to work with. Hope this helps. Here is a link to a relevant video for extra reference & context >>> ua-cam.com/video/asWl42BPfbE/v-deo.html

Awesome video thanks for the help

[@AdmissionGaming]

Guys how do you use these on sensors and stuff that already have the plug in the sensor housing?

[@JamesKiely-m5y]

nicely explained

[@hadynjohnson7504]

Can you use 2 wires in a 3 way DT connector

[@t5d0c0]

yes

[@soldermecold7456]

Yes, but plug the unused hole

[@mikebonge7206]

Great

[@quadtraxxx]

I really like the DT Connector, but with the 14AWG pin/sockets… particularly useful for motorbikes and ATV use.

[@michaelregan3589]

Are there male and female cavity plugs

[@jameshead1526]

No. The seal plugs are the same for the plug or the receptacle. They are held in place by the rear wire seal, which is identical for the plug or receptacle.

[@MarioDallaRiva]

👍🏻

[@martycj8]

Please show a video of the proper disconnection procedure of the male and female connectors. They are very difficult to separate!!!!
