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

The Deutsch size 16 solid socket contact is a precision-machined female terminal for Deutsch DT Series connector housings. Available in nickel-plated finish for 16–20 AWG wire gauge, this solid socket contact provides reliable, low-resistance electrical connections in motorsport harness applications where consistent contact quality across every circuit is critical.

Performance of Solid Socket Contacts

Machined solid socket contacts offer tighter dimensional tolerances than stamped alternatives, resulting in more consistent crimp retention and a lower-resistance electrical interface. This is particularly important in signal-level circuits where contact resistance variation can affect sensor accuracy. Nickel plating ensures long-term contact integrity in the temperature-cycling and vibration environment of a motorsport application.

Applications

• Plug-side DT connector assembly for sensor and ECU harnesses
• ECU input circuit socket contacts
• Motorsport harness assembly for rotary, turbocharged, and high-performance piston engines
• Professional harness fabrication on race cars, rally cars, and track day vehicles

Compatibility

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