The environmentally sealed DRC Series is a rectangular connector series that offers insert arrangements of 24, 40, 50, 60, 64, 70, 76, and 80 cavities and accept size 12, 16, and 20 contacts. Several mounting options are available including in-line, flange mount, and PCB mount.
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.
Key Features

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 DRC Installation Instructions
Contact Insertion
Grasp contact approximately 1.00″ (25.4 mm) behind the contact crimp barrel.
Hold connector with rear grommet facing you.
Push contact straight into connector grommet until a positive stop is felt. A slight tug will confirm that it is properly locked in place.
Contact Removal
With rear insert toward you, snap appropriate size extractor tool over the wire of contact to be removed.
Slide tool along wire into the insert cavity until it engages contact and resistance is felt. NOTE: Do not twist or insert tool at an angle
