Double-density connector cuts harness weight
The 12-41 connector offers more connectors than a standard shell, significantly reducing the weight of a vehicle's wiring harness
New from Deutsch at the Autosport Show in January 2006, like the 14-64 double density connector, launched in late 2005, the 12-41 connector offers more connectors than a standard shell, significantly reducing the weight of the wiring harness in the vehicle. The Deutsch 12-41 double density Autosport connector uses contacts that are optimised for AWG24 to AWG30 gauge wire, allowing 41 connectors in a size 12 connector shell.

Autosport connectors double the density
Double density autosport connectors bring benefits of space and weight, both highly prized when packaging is such an issue on the modern racing car
This connector is smaller than the 14-64, further reducing the size and weight of the harness.
The 12-41 connector features a locking mechanism and allows the gold-plated copper alloy contacts to carry the maximum 3A of current and a current leakage of less than 2mA at 1000V DC.
The connector operates at temperatures from -55 to +175C.
It is also rated to IP67 for water immersion to one metre for a minimum of 30 minutes, showing no damage when exposed to most fluids used in most autosport applications.
The connector shell comes with a conductive black zinc cover to allow any shielding on the cabling to be continued through the connector.
There is also an optional RoHS compliant nickel finish.
Deutsch plans to launch further connectors within this family later in 2006.
