The DT06-12SA-CE13 is a 12-way DEUTSCH DT series plug connector featuring enhanced seal retention design with A-key configuration, black housing, and integrated shrink boot adapter. This connector accepts contact size 16 rated for 13 amps and accommodates 14–20 AWG (2.50–0.50 mm²) wire gauges, with reduced diameter seals that fit securely in the connector housing groove for improved seal retention. The connector features an integrated latch for mating, thermoplastic rectangular housing, and is compatible with the WI25-P012 wedgelock for contact alignment and retention. The enhanced seal retention design is field-proven in harsh environments with heavy vibration, dirt, chemicals, and water spray, and allows users to easily replace seals without replacing the entire connector, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Common applications include industrial and commercial transportation systems requiring sealed, rugged connectivity.
