Performance Specifications

DEUTSCH electrical connectors will stand up to the harsh environmental challenges that are common to industrial markets that require advanced performance. Proper parts, procedures, and tooling must be used.

Temperature

Operating at temperatures from -55° C to +125° C continuous at rated current.

Durability

No electrical or mechanical defects after 100 cycles of engagement and disengagement.

Vibration

No unlocking or unmating and exhibits no mechanical or physical damage after sinusoidal vibration levels of 20 G’s at 10 to 2000 Hz in each of the three mutually perpendicular planes. No electrical discontinuities longer than 1 microsecond.

Physical Shock

No unlocking, unmating, or other unsatisfactory result during or after 50 G’s in each of three mutually perpendicular planes. No electrical discontinuities longer than 1 microsecond. MIL-STD 202, Method 213, Condition “C”.

Fluid Resistance

Connectors show no damage when exposed to most fluids used in industrial applications.

Insulation Resistance

1000 megohms minimum at 25° C.

Moisture Resistance

Properly wired and mated connections will withstand immersion under three feet of water without loss of electronic qualities or leakage.

Dielectric Withstanding Voltage

Current leakage less than 2 milliamps at 1500 VAC.

Thermal Cycle

No cracking, chipping or leaking after 20 test cycles from -55° C to +125° C.

Deutsch DRB Installation Instructions

Contact Insertion

1. Hold connector with rear grommet/wire router cap facing you.
2. Push contact straight into contact cavity until a click is heard/ felt. A slight tug will ensure the contact is inserted correctly.
3. Once all contacts are in place, insert wedgelock by lining up the keyway. The wedgelock will press into place.

Contact Removal

1. Remove wedgelock using a screwdriver. Pull wedgelock straight out.
2. To remove contacts, gently pull wire backwards, while at the same time releasing the locking finger by moving it away from the contact with a screwdriver.
