Deutsch HD30 Series — 31-Way Plug, Aluminium Shell (Size 24), Pin Contacts, E Key, Size 16

The Deutsch HD30 31-Way Plug — Aluminium, Shell Size 24, Pin Contacts, E Key, Size 16 Contacts — SKU: HD36-24-31PE is a high-circuit-count cable-mount plug in the Deutsch HD30 heavy-duty circular connector system, configured for 31 circuits in a shell size 24 aluminium body with pin (male) contacts, E key, and size 16 contact inserts. With 31 circuits in a single shell size 24 plug, this connector is at the high end of the HD30 circuit density range — designed for comprehensive harness consolidation at a single separation point in motorsport and commercial vehicle systems across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.

31 Circuits — Near-Maximum Shell Size 24 Density

Thirty-one circuits in the shell size 24 body utilises the shell’s cross-section to near-maximum capacity with size 16 contacts. This high circuit count allows an entire major harness section — an ECU primary harness group, a complete engine sensor and actuator cluster, or a full chassis-to-engine electrical interface — to be carried through a single connector pair rather than split across multiple smaller connectors. For motorsport builds in Norway and Sweden where harness simplification, weight reduction, and minimisation of connector count are design priorities, the 31-way single-connector approach delivers significant advantages over a multi-connector equivalent.

E Key with Pin Contacts in the Plug — Specific Interface Requirements

The E key combined with pin (male) contacts in the cable-mount plug indicates a specific design requirement at this installation — either a reversed gender convention (pins in the plug rather than the standard socket-in-plug) mating with a corresponding socket-contact fixed receptacle, or a legacy interface specification. The E key ensures this plug can only mate with the E-keyed counterpart, preventing cross-connection with N- or T-keyed 31-way connectors at the same panel. Confirm both gender and key before ordering to ensure correct pairing with the fixed-side receptacle.
