Compact Sealed 8-Pin Connector for Motorsport and ECU Wiring

The Deutsch DTM 8-Pin Connector Kit is a compact, environmentally sealed connector system designed for low-current automotive and motorsport electrical applications.

Supplied as a complete mated pair, this kit includes both male and female housings, wedgelocks, and terminals for a fully serviceable 8-circuit sealed connection.

Commonly used in standalone ECU systems, professional engine harness builds, and sealed PDM integrations where multiple signal and low-current circuits must be routed through a single compact connector interface.

Complete DTM 8-Pin Connector Kit Contents

• 1x DTM 8-pin male housing
• 1x DTM 8-pin female housing
• Male and female wedgelocks
• 8x male terminals
• 8x female terminals

Terminal options available:

• Open-barrel terminals (stamped and formed)
• Solid-barrel terminals (machined style)

Product images display the open-barrel terminal variant.

Each kit includes both male and female terminals in the selected terminal style.

Common 8-Pin DTM Applications

DTM 8-pin connectors are typically used for:

• Engine subharness disconnect points
• Multi-sensor breakout connections
• CAN + power + multiple auxiliary outputs
• Turbocharged engine control modules
• PDM signal distribution circuits
• Standalone ECU auxiliary I/O groupings
• Compact chassis-to-engine interface connections

The compact DTM footprint supports clean routing in high-density engine bay installations and professional mil-spec harness construction.

Compatible with 20–22 AWG wiring for signal and low-amperage control circuits.

Why DTM Connectors Are Used in Professional Harness Builds

The DTM series provides a smaller footprint than DT and DTP connectors, making it ideal for compact multi-circuit signal routing and sealed subharness disconnect points.

These connectors are widely used in standalone ECU conversions, sealed PDM systems, turbocharged engine management setups, and custom motorsport wiring where reliability and environmental protection are required.

Intended Use

Designed for motorsport, off-road, and custom automotive electrical systems. Proper crimp tooling is required to ensure correct terminal retention and environmental sealing performance.
