A: The 1379659-5 housing belongs to the TE TH/.025 connector system. You will need to select matching female crimp receptacle terminals with a 0.64mm (.025 in) tab width. These contacts are not included with the housing body and should be ordered separately according to your wire gauge.

A: No, the 1379659-5 is an unsealed automotive receptacle housing (Sealable: No). It is highly optimized for interior vehicle applications, such as cabin dashboards, instrument clusters, infotainment panels, and body electronics, where direct exposure to water or engine oil is not expected.

A: The integrated TPA acts as a secondary lock safeguard. Once your 0.64mm female terminals are crimped and pushed into place, the TPA clip can be depressed into its final locking position. If any terminal pin is improperly seated, the TPA will block, giving operators immediate notice to correct the pin position.

A: You will need a WM-8S wedgelock to secure the contacts and eight Size 20 female sockets (e.g., 0462-201-20141). If you have unused cavities, sealing plugs (e.g., 0413-204-2005) are required to maintain the IP68 rating.

A: The difference is the Keying Code. The DTM06-08SA is Code A (Gray), while DTM06-08SB is Code B (Black). They have different mechanical keys to prevent them from being plugged into the wrong circuit on the same vehicle.

A: No. The DTM series uses Size 20 contacts, which are smaller than the Size 16 contacts used in the DT series. Please ensure you use Size 20 terminals to avoid damaging the housing or compromising the connection.
