Deutsch HD10, HDP20 and HD30 connectors: thermoplastic or metal-bodied circular products using the Deutsch contact system.
Deutsch HD Series Connectors
Deutsch HD10
The Deutsch HD10 Series is designed to offer circular thermoplastic connectors with good environmental sealing for between 3 and 9 contacts. Each option within the HD10 series can be ordered as either a plug (HD16), square-flange receptacle (HD10) or inline receptacle (HD14) and seven contact arrangements are available to suit contact sizes from No.4 to No.16.
This is a rugged product that can be quickly connected and disconnected making it ideal for diagnostic processes or temporary power supply. The rear grommet of the plug and receptacle feature integrated silicon wire seals which automatically seal each wire as it is locked in place during installation and no other parts are required to make them waterproof. Backshells, caps and boots are also available.

Special Modifications
The HD10 Series connectors offer several modifications to enhance the design flexibility and meet application specific needs. Options include the addition of a coupling ring and connector body color, just to mention a few. By combining the HD10 Series connectors with the available modifications and accessories, the design possibilities are increased.

Deutsch HD Is Setting New Standards
Deutsch HD and HDP Series environmental connectors are setting a new standard for the heavy duty industrial, equipment and transportation industries. Designed to withstand years of abuse, the Deutsch HD and HDP Series offer the advantages of decreased costs and upgraded performance.
The HD/HDP is a cylindrical, multi-pin, sealed device utilising crimp type contacts that are quickly and easily inserted or removed. Common problems associated with assembly and network time, such as operational breakdowns requiring costly repairs and lengthy time out of service in the field, are no longer a concern with the HD/HDP Series.
Some of the industry-proven benefits of the Deutsch HD and HDP Series include:
- Quick, fool-proof assembly, decreasing time on the assembly line and eliminating miswiring.
- Simple and easy to rework, decreasing down time and increasing profits to the operator.
- Sealed against moisture and contaminants, eliminating open wiring system.
- Operation under severe shock and vibration, reducing breakdown and out of commission loss due to rugged operating conditions.
- Performance over a wide temperature range (-550C to +1250C) meaning continuous operation in all environments, from arctic to desert conditions.
- Human factors engineered to assure that assembly and rework can be reliably handled by unskilled personnel.
Deutsch HD and HDP Series provide the widest selection of interconnections for critical circuits requiring heavy-duty environmental terminations. Together, the Deutsch HD and HDP offer common layouts, common tooling, the same adaptability to backshells and both meet the performance standards for heavy duty applications. So whether you are looking for rugged HD metal shells or cost effective HDP plastic shells, Deutsch offers the best product for your applications while holding the line on hidden inventory and assembly costs.
Connector-Tech ALS stocks the full range of Deutsch HD series harsh environment connectors.
Deutsch HDP20
The HDP20 Series from Deutsch Industrial is a composite shelled, multi-pin circular connector range. These products are environmentally sealed with a light, durable thermoplastic shell suited to applications where water or chemical contact is anticipated.
The bayonet coupling mechanism also used in the HD30 series facilitates quick disconnection and the housings are available in plug or flanged receptacle configurations with either contact gender in each. In all, a total of 19 contact arrangements are available (more details below) along with cap, backshell, boots and strain relief options.
Specifications
- Accepts contact sizes 4 (100A), 8 (60A), 12 (25A), 16 (13A), and 20 (7.5A)
- 4-22 AWG
- 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 14, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 29, 31, 33, 35, and 47 cavity arrangements
- In-line or flange mount

- Insert Retainer: Thermoplastic
- Plug Coupling Ring: Thermoplastic
- Shell: Thermoplastic
Deutsch HD30
The third option in the Deutsch HD range is the HD30 series or metal-bodied circular connectors. These products are favoured in the automotive, heavy-duty equipment, motorsport and transport industries for their extremely durable housings, quick mating and un-mating, and 19 contact arrangments in two compact shell sizes.

Special Modifications
The HD30 and HDP20 Series connectors offer several modifications to enhance design flexibility and meet application specific needs. Options include breakaway plugs, adapters, and high amperage options just to mention a few. By combining the HD30 & HDP20 Series connectors with the available modifications and accessories, the design possibilities are greatly expanded
When ordering a connector it is not always as simple matter of determining between 'male' and 'female' because this can refer to both the housing gender and the contact gender. Many manufacturers offer a given housing gender with both pin and socket. A common example of such confusion occurs in the Deutsch Industrial DT range, where the plug (or male connector) actually contains socket (or female) contacts. For this reason please specify both the contact and housing gender at the time of order.
The IP Rating of a connector or accessory relates to the degree of ingress protection provided by that component. The first digit of the code relates to the degree of protection against access to hazardous parts (conductors etc) and against solid foreign objects. The second digit refers to the degree of protection against the ingress of water. For two examples of this system, consider the most commonly seen IP ratings in our products: IP44 and IP67. IP44 4: Protection from solid objects ≤1mm | 4: Protection against splashing water IP67 6: Protection from dust-sized objects | 7: Protection against immersion in water at depth of 1m for 30mins A complete guide to all IP Ratings is available here.
These terms are used by Phase 3 and ITT Veam on their high-current connectors.The source is considered the half of the connection from which the power is sourced; or the half supplying the electrical power. In an emergency power application, the generator is the source and would be fitted with Panel Source (panel-mount) connectors, a Panel Source Powersafe Box, or Line Source (inline) connectors on pigtails. The drain is the half of the connection which drains the power from the source. In the same emergency power application described above, the network receiving the emergency power supply is the drain and would be fitted with Line Drain connectors, Panel Drain connectors or a Panel Drain Powersafe Box.
We commonly deal with both American Wire Gauge (AWG) and square millimetre (mm2) dimensions as the units used by manufacturers can vary. To convert between measurements please refer this conversion chart.
