Features & Benefits

Complete Matched Kit — Every component required for one 4-circuit connection is included, eliminating the need to source individual terminals, locks, and housings separately. Ideal for workshop installations where time and reliability matter.

13A Per Circuit Capacity — Each of the four circuits handles up to 13 amps, making this kit suitable for driving lights, auxiliary accessories, sensor circuits, and medium-current 12V applications commonly found in 4WD builds and automotive upgrades.

Deutsch DT Reliability — The DT connector series is widely recognised in automotive and off-road applications for its robust construction and resistance to vibration, moisture, and dust. The positive lock mechanism ensures terminals remain seated during use.

#16 Terminal Compatibility — Designed for 16-gauge wire, this kit suits most aftermarket automotive wiring scenarios including auxiliary circuits, lighting harnesses, and accessory installations without requiring oversized cable runs.

Workshop-Ready Design — Pin and socket locks (W4S and W4P) hold terminals securely in place during assembly and prevent accidental terminal release during service or cable movement in harsh conditions.
