HD/HDP Series Connector Features
Deutsch HD/HDP Series environmental connectors offer the
advantages of decreased costs and upgraded performance.
Designed to withstand years of abuse, the Deutsch HD/HDP
Series is setting the pace in the Heavy Equipment Industry. Key
features common to the HD/HDP Series are itemized below.
I. Contacts
A. Solid copper alloy construction withstands continuous
current overload without degradation.
Cost effective stamped and formed contacts provide
high reliability and low cost.
B. Range of contact and acceptable wire sizes
1. Size #4 AWG 6 (13.0 mm
2
)
2. Size #8 AWG 8 & 10 (8.0 – 5.0 mm
2
)
3. Size #12 AWG 12 & 14 (4.0 – 2.0 mm
2
)
4. Size #16 AWG 14 & 20 (0.5 – 2.0 mm
2
)
5. Size #20 AWG 16 & 22 (0.5 – 1.5 mm
2
)
C. Closed entry socket contact design assures positive
conductivity and eliminates probe damage.
D. Simplified pin contact design limits possibility of
bending.
II Inserts
A. The hard plastic insert and closed contact interface
captivate the contacts to prevent “float” and “splay”.
B. Positive contact retention is provided through the use of
plastic locking fingers which snap closed behind the
shoulder of the contact.
C. Interfaces
1. Lead-ins on socket interface properly align bent pins.
2. Hard plastic prevents pins from penetrating dielectric
material.
D. Available in several insert arrangements*.
1. Five in shell size 18 (HD30 or HDP20).
2. Fourteen in shell size 24 (HD30 or HDP20).

E. Redundant wire seals prevent contamination from
entering from rear of connector.
F. Sealing plug to fill unused cavities to keep
environmental sealing characteristics intact.
III. Shell
A. Rugged, all metal shell to withstand years of abuse
(HD30) Corrosion resistant all plastic shell (HDP20)
has same features (item C).
B. Positive shell keying prevents mismating.
C. Simple, one quarter turn coupling.
1. Free rotating, captivated coupling ring for fast
assembly.
2. Coupling ring designed to insure proper
environmental sealing with minimum mating
forces.
3. Audio and visual indications of positive locked
condition.
D. Available in a straight plug and single hole mounting
receptacle for easy installation to structure.
IV. Application Tooling
A. Standard crimp tool or semi-automated, high-speed
crimping tool is available.
1. Fast, reliable, uniform results.
2. Simplified procedures mean that only average skill
is required for assembly.
3. No soldering heat means:
a. No chance of heat damage to parts.
b. No wicking to contribute to vibration failure.
B. Inexpensive plastic removal tool designed to eliminate
hidden internal insert damage.
1. Removal tool designed to break rather than injure
connector.
2. Dielectric tool construction prevents shocks to
personnel.
Vibration
Maintains continuity and exhibits no mechanical or
physical damage during or while subject to a sinusoidal
vibration, having an amplitude of .060 inches double
amplitude and the frequency varied linearly between
limits of 10 to 2000 to 10 Hz with a maximum force
of 20g’s. No electrical discontinuities longer than 1
microsecond.
Moisture Resistance
Water does not penetrate seals when submerged in 3
feet of water.
Corrosion Resistance
Connectors show no evidence of corrosion after
exposure to 48 hours of salt spray per MIL-STD 1344
method 1001.
Fluid Resistance
Connectors show no damage when exposed to most
fluids used in industrial applications.
Dielectric Withstanding Voltage:
Current leakage less than 2 milliamps at 1500 VAC.
