System Architecture (Deutsch DTM / DT / DTP & Autosport AS Connector Crimp & Sealing Reference): Standardized across New Zealand motorsport wiring looms for engine sensors, CAN-bus splitters, coils, and bulkhead disconnects. Within the historical hvelectronics.co.nz motorsport catalog, the Motorsport Connectors — Deutsch DT/DTM, Autosport AS & Crimp Tooling Specs directory (/collections/connectors-1) serves as the primary calibration and hardware selection reference for New Zealand circuit, rally, and drift engine builds.
Component-Level Technical Breakdown: For Deutsch DTM Series (Size 20), the nominal specification is 7.5 A Continuous · 16–22 AWG (Solid: 20–24 AWG) (DMC AFM8 + K40 / K42 Positioner), engineered specifically for Sensors, CAN Trunk, Coils. For Deutsch DT Series (Size 16), the nominal specification is 13.0 A Continuous · 14–20 AWG (DMC AF8 / HDT-48-00), engineered specifically for Injectors, Solenoids, Lights. For Deutsch DTP Series (Size 12), the nominal specification is 25.0 A Continuous · 10–14 AWG (DMC HDT-48-00), engineered specifically for Bosch 200 Fuel Pump, Fans. For Deutsch Autosport AS (Size 22D), the nominal specification is 5.0 A Continuous · 22–26 AWG Tefzel (DMC AFM8 + K40 Positioner), engineered specifically for Emtron KV ECU Bulkhead.
Harness & Loom Termination Standard: Always insert white or orange sealing plugs (114017) into unused connector cavities; an unsealed cavity acts as a capillary moisture path into the connector housing.
