Deutsch DT Size 16 Solid Socket Contact – Gold-Plated, 16–20 AWG

The Deutsch 0462-201-1631 is a precision-machined size 16 solid gold-plated socket contact for DT Series plug connector housings. Designed for 16–20 AWG signal and power wiring, this gold-plated solid socket provides the premium-grade contact performance used in professional motorsport ECU harnesses, critical sensor circuits, and data acquisition wiring applications where contact quality directly affects system performance.

Solid Gold Socket for Signal-Critical Applications

In ECU plug connectors handling analogue sensor inputs, lambda sensor outputs, and CAN communication circuits, the socket contacts on the plug side are as important as the pins on the receptacle. Gold plating on the machined socket ensures a stable, oxide-free contact surface across the mating cycle lifetime of the connector, maintaining consistent electrical performance even in high-temperature, high-humidity motorsport environments.

Applications

• ECU plug-side socket contacts for signal and power circuits
• Sensor plug connector assembly in engine management harnesses
• Professional race car harness builds requiring gold-plated socket contacts
• Mazda RX-Series and turbocharged engine ECU loom construction
