Why you need the DT pigtail splitter for your light bar? it is a common question. at first you need to know
what is a DT connector and Pigtail?
Deutsch DT environmentally sealed connectors are sesigned for cable to cable, cable to board, and cable to device applications. DT connectors are used in Harsh environment applications where even a small degradation in connection maybe critical. when the DT connector wiring with cable, it called the DT Pigtail, when the pigtail with 1 male DT connector 2 female DT connector, that is the DT Splitter.
what are the DT connector applications?
It have wide application. such as the Truck,Bus,Off road, construction, agriculture,Mining,vehicles, Marine boat,Motorcycle etc.
When should i use the DT Connectors and the DT pigtail splitter?
The DT connector provide reliability and performance on the engine or transmission under the hood on motor controllers,solenoid interfaces on the chassis or in the cab. DT connectors offer field proven reliability and rugged quality. the DT design strengths included optional flange mounting, multi-pin arrangements lower cost and design flexibility. DT connectors offer the designer the ability to use multiple size 16 contacts, each with 13 amp continuous capacity with in single shell.
however when you wiring the DT connector to harness, you may realized need to modify or add some device suddenly. it is difficult to re-build the harness system. the DT pigtail splitter is a good way to add extra DT connector without changing the wiring system. it offer the easy way to install additional LED lights. usually the DT pigtail splitter with 1 male to 2 female DT connector, 1 male to 4 female DT connector,1 male to 6 female DT connector.
