Deutsch HDP20 Bulkhead 16-Pin Connector Kit- 12-14 AWG Copper Contacts

Description

Product Overview

The Deutsch HDP20 Bulkhead 16‑pin Connector Kit is engineered for precision‑driven microbore tubing systems used across hydraulics, pneumatics, and scientific instrumentation. Each kit contains sixteen pins made from high‑conductivity copper, delivering a low‑resistance path for 12‑14 AWG solid wire. The pins are housed in a thermoplastic insulated body that resists moisture, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations up to 25 °C, ensuring stable electrical performance in demanding environments. All components are UL‑listed, confirming compliance with rigorous safety standards, and the entire assembly is manufactured in the United States, guaranteeing consistent quality control and traceability. The compact package dimensions of 4.1 × 3.5 × 1.5 inches and a lightweight design (1.05 lb) make the kit easy to store, ship, and integrate into tight spaces on equipment panels.

Usage

This connector kit excels in applications where reliable, high‑current connections are required in confined spaces. Typical use cases include connecting sensors, actuators, and control valves in industrial automation lines, laboratory test rigs, and aerospace test equipment. The robust copper contacts are ideal for environments that demand resistance to vibration and mechanical stress, such as mobile robotics, automotive test benches, and field‑deployed monitoring stations. Because the pins are designed for 12‑14 AWG solid wire, installers can achieve a secure crimp without the need for additional ferrules, reducing assembly time and potential points of failure. The kit’s UL certification assures users that the product meets stringent fire‑safety and electrical‑performance criteria, making it suitable for regulated industries like medical device manufacturing and food‑processing equipment.

FAQ

What wire gauge sizes are compatible with this connector?

The HDP20 kit is rated for solid wire sizes ranging from 12 AWG to 14 AWG, providing flexibility for both power and signal applications.

Is the connector suitable for high‑temperature environments?

While the connector is rated for operation up to 25 °C, the thermoplastic housing can tolerate short‑term temperature spikes typical of industrial equipment without degrading performance.

Can I use stranded wire with this connector?

For optimal crimp integrity, the kit is designed for solid‑core wire. Stranded wire may not achieve the same level of contact pressure and could lead to intermittent connections.

How does the UL listing benefit my project?

UL certification confirms that the connector meets recognized safety and reliability standards, simplifying regulatory approval processes and providing confidence in long‑term durability.
