Deutsch DT Size 16 Solid Socket Contact – Gold-Plated, 14 AWG

The Deutsch 0462-209-1631 is a precision-machined size 16 solid gold-plated socket contact for DT Series plug connector housings, specified for 14 AWG wire. This larger-gauge gold-plated solid socket is used in high-current circuit positions within DT plug connectors where both current capacity and gold plating’s long-term corrosion immunity are required.

Premium Socket Contact for Power Circuit Applications

At 14 AWG, this socket contact covers the higher-current end of the DT size 16 range. Gold plating maintains stable contact resistance in this position regardless of connector thermal cycling, humidity, and the corrosive environment of a race car engine bay. Appropriate for motorsport power feeds where contact integrity over thousands of mating cycles and years of service is a requirement.

Applications

• DT plug socket contacts for 14 AWG power and ground circuits
• Premium-grade socket contacts for high-specification motorsport harnesses
• ECU plug connectors with mixed power and signal circuit layouts
• Long-term race car harness builds requiring gold contact durability

Compatibility

Fits Deutsch DT Series size 16 plug (DT06) connector housings. Requires Deutsch solid contact crimp tool. Sold individually.
