Drawing & Dimensions
Deutsch DT06-8SA 8-Socket Receptacle Housing
Engineered to Deutsch’s DT series specification, the DT06-8SA is a 8-position receptacle housing built for harsh-environment electrical interconnects. Engineered for 13A continuous current at 250V and operating temperatures from -55 °C to +125 °C, the housing accepts Size 16 solid contacts (sold separately) and is rated to IP68 for dust ingress and continuous water immersion.
Typical Applications
The 8-position configuration is commonly specified for multi-sensor data hubs for engine bay and chassis monitoring, as well as HVAC control modules with mixed sensor, fan, and valve outputs. Its combination of sealed construction and 13A continuous current capability makes it a versatile choice for both power and signal circuits.
Mating and Integration
The DT06-8SA mates directly with the DT04-8P-E004 on the opposite harness side, providing a fully sealed in-line connection. Push-to-seat solid contacts are crimped to the wire, then inserted into the housing from the rear until they lock into the cavity. A secondary lock wedge (where applicable to the DT series cavity arrangement) provides positive contact retention.
Where It Is Deployed
Field-proven in industrial automation cells, conveyor systems, and process skids, as well as material handling forklifts, telehandlers, and reach trucks. The IP68 sealed design tolerates engine-bay heat, under-chassis water splash, and chemical exposure typical of these environments.
Why Specify This Part
Genuine Deutsch DT-series construction with consistent cavity geometry ensures drop-in compatibility across the entire DT family.
