Overview

Key Benefits:

DEUTSCH Connector Solid Contacts

Round Contacts

Round contact offer a clean body, tangles and free of sharp edges. Round contacts can be inserted and removed from connectors with no risk of damaging wire seals, making them perfect for sealed connector applications. Round contacts are not polarized, easy to crimp and quick to install into connectors making them the contacts of choice for field repairs of Deutsch interconnects.

 

Reliable Electrical Connections

Solid construction reduces electrical resistance and voltage drop, helping to maintain stable signal and power delivery.

 

Wide Wire Size Range

Designed for wire sizes from 4 to 20 AWG [0.5 to 25mm2] , suitable for diverse electrical system requirements across vehicles and equipment.

 

Plating Options for Harsh Conditions

Available in nickel or gold plating to support performance in corrosive and high-vibration environments.

 

High Mechanical Strength

Withstands challenging conditions such as shock, moisture, and temperature extremes often found in transportation systems.

 

Versatile Connector Compatibility

Works with DEUTSCH connector series, solid contacts size 20, 16, 12 are interchangeable with the matching stamped and formed contacts, enabling platform standardization with a common contact system

 

Multiple Contact Sizes

Available in sizes 20, 16, 12, 8 and 4 to match a broad range of current and mechanical requirements.

DEUTSCH solid common contacts accommodate a wide range of wire gauges.
