Introduction
This manual provides the necessary information on how the DT and HD family of connectors (shown in Illustration 1) are properly
serviced.
Do not perform any procedure, outlined in this manual, or order any parts until you read and understand the information contained
within.
Deutsch HD and DT style connectors are very similar. Differing only in shape and color, the function and servicing techniques are
the same. Both consist of a plug and receptacle.
Illustration 1. Typical DT
(1) And HD
(2) Style Connectors.
Gray colored DT style connectors were changed in mid-1999 to improve the replaceable seal between the plug and receptacle. For
easy recognition, the most current DT style connector plugs and receptacles found in this kit will be colored black. The current
green wedge design will also be easily identified from the former orange color.
The plug half of the DT style connector has a seal at the mating end. This seal has been improved on black connectors to help
prevent slipping and is replaceable. This improvement will help keep moisture and dirt from entering the connector. The current
seal design (2, Illustration 2) is not interchangeable with the former design (1, Illustration 2). The receptacle has also changed to the
new colors.

The Pin and Socket terminal crimping procedure (shown on page 8) is identical for both HD and DT style connectors.
Receptacles accept pin terminals. Wedges, assembled at the mating interface, lock the terminals into position. The original orange

wedges are now green and fit into the current black connectors. Plugs accept sockets. Wedges lock the sockets into position. Green
and orange receptacle wedges are interchangeable (refer to the "DT Style Connector Compatibility" section in this manual for
additional information). DT style connectors are joined by aligning the latching mechanisms and pushing the connectors together.
HD style connectors are easily recognizable, by the round connector bodies. HD style connectors are sealed with rubber gaskets,
which are not replaceable. Wedges are not required with this design. The connectors are joined using a quarter-turn locking ring.

NOTE: The 175-3700 DT Style Field Service Group and the 190-8900 HD Style Deutsch Connector Group do not contain the 1U-
5804 Crimp Tool. The 1U-5804 Crimp Tool should be ordered separately.
NOTE: The seals for the black and gray plugs are NOT interchangeable.
Use the information in the "Acceptable Color Combinations" section of this manual for acceptable combinations of colors and parts
when servicing DT style connectors.

Connector Unmating
No tools are required to unmate DT or HD style connectors.
NOTICE
The use of tools could damage the locking latch (DT) or ring (HD) and
prevent securely remating the connector.
1. Unmate the connector by grasping the plug and receptacle housings with each hand. The plug housing contains the locking latch
(DT) or locking ring (HD).
2. On DT style connectors, completely depress the locking latch to separate the connector housings.
NOTE: If there is dirt build-up under the latch (DT), tap the side of the connector, dislodging the dirt particles, until the latch can
be fully depressed.
3. With the latch fully depressed, pull the plug from the receptacle.

4. The larger DT style connectors are unmated in the same manner as the smaller ones, except they have two locking latches.
5. On HD style connectors, grasp the locking ring on the plug body and rotate the ring counterclockwise. This action will unlock
and force the connector bodies apart.
NOTICE
DO NOT pull on the wires to separate the two halves of any connector.
This can cause damage to both the wires and connectors.
Terminal Removal
Plug Housing
The DT style connectors use a wedge to secure the socket and pin terminals. This wedge must first be removed before terminals are
separated from the connector.
1. Remove the wedge by inserting 147-6456 Wedge Removal Tool between the wedge and connector housing.
NOTICE
When removing the wedge, insert the removal tool along the side of the
wedge, not the corners, which could cause damage

2. With the wedge removed, place 147-6456 Wedge Removal Tool against the terminal locking finger. Push the finger away from
the terminal while gently pulling the wire out of the connector.
Receptacle Housing
1. Remove the terminals from the connector by first removing receptacle wedge (2), as shown in Illustration 15. Remove wedge (2)
by grasping it with long nose pliers and pulling straight out.
2. The receptacle wedge, in other than 3-pin connector configurations, is removed by inserting one end of 147-6456 Wedge
Removal Tool into the center of the wedge and hooking the outside edge.
3. Hold the receptacle in one hand and apply upward pressure on 147-6456 Wedge Removal Tool with the opposite hand. Pull the
wedge straight out.
4. With the wedge removed, place the 147-6456 Wedge Removal Tool against the terminal locking finger. Push the finger away
from the terminal while gently pulling the wire out of the connector.

2. Firmly push the removal tool inward until it disengages the terminal locking fingers.
3. Remove the terminal, wire, and removal tool together from the connector body.
2. Strip 6.4 to 7.0 mm (.25 to .31 in) of insulation from the wire being careful not to cut or nick the copper wire strands. A properly
stripped wire will bottom out in the terminal with the insulation 1.5 mm (.06 in) from the end of the terminal. On the socket
terminal, the wire is inserted into the end with inspection hole (M).

3. Make sure the wire selector gauge (G, Illustration 20) on 1U-5804 Crimp Tool is set to the wire size being crimped. If the wire
selector gauge is properly set, proceed to Step 4. If the selector gauge setting does not match the wire size being crimped, proceed
as follows:
b. Raise selector knob (J) and rotate it until the arrow is aligned with the wire size to be crimped.

4. Loosen locknut (K) and turn adjusting screw (L) in until it stops.

5. Insert terminal (6) and turn adjusting screw (L) until the wire/crimp end of the terminal is flush with the tool face. Tighten
locknut (K).
6. Insert the wire into the terminal (the terminal must be centered between crimp fingers). Make sure that all wire strands are in the
crimp barrel.
7. Crimp the wire in the terminal by squeezing the handles of the crimp tool together until the handle hits the stop and automatically
releases.
9. Inspect the terminal to make sure that all wire strands are in the crimped barrel and that the crimp indent falls in the center of the
terminal crimp barrel.

Terminal Insertion
1. Grasp the wire approximately 25 mm (1.0 in) from the crimped terminal. Insert the terminal into the connector, as shown in
Illustrations 27 and 29.

2. Push the terminal straight into the connector until the terminal locks in place. A slight tug on the wire will confirm the terminal is
properly locked in place.
4. After all the terminals have been assembled into the receptacle/plug housing, insert the wedge (long nose pliers may be required
to insert some receptacle wedges). Make sure the wedge snaps completely into place.

Connector Cleaning
Connectors that have been unmated for service purposes must be cleaned before reconnecting.
NOTICE
Many solvents have been found to damage some connector materials.
Solvent-type cleaners are not recommended. It is important that the
connector mating surfaces be clean and dry before remating. If dirt or
corrosion cannot be removed from the mating surfaces, the connector
and/or terminals must be replaced.
The interior mating surfaces of the connector (i.e. terminals, seals, and insulators) should be cleaned using a cotton swab and
denatured alcohol.
Use all cleaning solutions with care and in a well ventilated area. Always
wear eye protection when using cleaning solutions. Failure to follow the
precautions provided by the manufacturer on using, storing and
disposing of any cleaning solution can result in bodily injury.
Connector Mating
1. DT style connectors are mated by grasping each half of the connector and aligning the locking latch of the plug housing with the
receptacle housing.
NOTE: For the 8 and 12-pin connector, it may be necessary to rotate the plug housing 180 degrees in order to achieve the correct
alignment.
2. Push the two connector halves together until the latch(es) lock into place.
3. Make sure the connector housings are locked together by attempting to pull the housings apart.
4. HD style connectors are mated by aligning the external alignment marks (1), pushing the two connector bodies together, and then
turning the locking ring 1/4 turn clockwise until the ring clicks into the locked position.
