NTSEAL Socket Housings for Female Terminals

  • Cavity counts: 18 / 20 / 26 / 36 / 38 / 48 
  • Contact system: DEUTSCH size 20, 16, 12 (varies by position) 
  • Sealing: IP67 / IP68, and up to IP6K9K with backshell 
  • Temp range: -40°C to 125°C (-40 – 257 °F)

Key Benefits:

NTSEAL Socket Housings for Female Terminals

If you’re working on industrial and commercial transportation applications, NTSEAL socket housings earn their spot when you’re trying to avoid the classic failure modes: moisture intrusion, fretting and loose contacts.

  • They keep sealing simple. NTSEAL socket housings support IP67/IP68 sealing, and you can push to IP6K9K when paired with a backshell—useful for pressure-wash and underbody exposure. 
  • They reduce assembly risk. Integrated Terminal Position Assurance (TPA) helps confirm contacts are seated; Connector Position Assurance (CPA) helps prevent accidental un-mating. Less rework at the bench, fewer comebacks in the field. 
  • They let you consolidate circuits. Higher-density NTSEAL socket housings give you more circuits in one interface, including mixed signal/power layouts in certain positions. 
  • They help prevent mis-mates. Four coding options/colors make it easier to protect variants and service workflows.

Real World Applications

NTSEAL Socket Housings for Female Terminals

  • Trucks & buses: chassis-to-body and underbody junctions exposed to splash/salt; high-density breakpoints (18–48 positions) to reduce connector count. 
  • Construction equipment: engine-bay/frame-rail interfaces needing -40°C to 125°C durability and sealing confidence; lever-assisted mating on higher position housings for quicker assembly/service. 
  • Agricultural vehicles: moisture/chemical exposure and variant-heavy builds where coding options help prevent mis-mates during repairs. 
  • Material handling (lift trucks): compact compartments where TPA/CPA helps avoid unseated contacts and partial mating issues. 
  • Marine/coastal & specialty vehicles: sealed interfaces for corrosion-prone environments; IP67/IP68 sealing, up to IP6K9K with backshell where pressure wash is part of life.
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

NTSEAL Socket Housings for Female Terminals.

Q: Are these the housings for female terminals (socket contacts)?

A: Yes—these are plugs (socket housings) in the NTSEAL connector (or appropriate) family, intended for socket (female) contacts.

 

Q: How do I pick between “with CPA” and “without CPA”?

A: If you want an added secondary lock to reduce accidental un-mating in service, choose with CPA. For certain packaging/service needs, 20-position socket housings are also offered without CPA.

 

Q: What do I need to reach IP6K9K?

A: IP6K9K sealing can be achieved with a backshell.

 

Q: What contact sizes fit these socket housings?

A: NTSEAL connectors uses DEUTSCH contacts size 20, 16, and 12 contacts, depending on the position count/contact arrangement.

 

Q: What if I’m not populating every cavity?

A: Use the specified sealing plugs for unused cavities to maintain environmental protection.

 

Q: Can I order caps/clips for protection and mounting?

A: Yes—sealed caps and mounting clips are listed as NTSEAL connector accessories.
