Drawing & Dimensions
Deutsch DTM04-3P 3-Pin Plug Housing
Designed to the Deutsch DTM (miniature) series standard, the DTM04-3P delivers a 3-position plug connection in a compact, environmentally sealed package. Engineered for 7.5A continuous current at 250V and operating temperatures from -55 °C to +125 °C, the housing accepts Size 20 solid contacts (sold separately) and is rated to IP68 for dust ingress and continuous water immersion.
Typical Applications
The 3-position configuration is commonly specified for low-speed CAN bus terminations in body controllers and lighting modules, as well as single-coil solenoid valves and relay coil power for hydraulic manifolds. Its combination of sealed construction and 7.5A continuous current capability makes it a versatile choice for both power and signal circuits.
Mating and Integration
The DTM04-3P mates directly with the DTM06-3S 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 DTM (miniature) series cavity arrangement) provides positive contact retention.
Where It Is Deployed
These characteristics make it well suited to material handling forklifts, telehandlers, and reach trucks, as well as construction excavators, wheel loaders, and articulated dump trucks. The IP68 sealed design tolerates engine-bay heat, under-chassis water splash, and chemical exposure typical of these environments.
Why Specify This Part
Specified by major OEMs in heavy equipment and commercial vehicles, the DTM (miniature) series is the industry benchmark for sealed rectangular interconnects.
