What Else Is Required?
DT04-08PA is the connector housing rather than a complete terminated assembly. Match it with compatible Size 16 pin contacts, the correct wedgelock and the required mating connector before assembly.
Contact selection should be based on the exact wire gauge and terminal specification rather than contact size alone. For more guidance, see the Deutsch Contacts, Terminals & Accessories Guide.
