BEP Deutsch 0462-201-16141 Size 16 Socket Contact

BEP / Deutsch 0462-201-16141 Size 16 Solid Socket Contact

The BEP / Deutsch 0462-201-16141 is a high-reliability, nickel-plated solid socket contact (Size 16) engineered for marine control wiring, engine harnesses, NMEA/CAN bus backbones, and auxiliary DC distribution circuits using Deutsch DT, DTM, HD, and DTHD series environmentally sealed connector housings. Designed to accommodate wire sizes from 20 AWG to 16 AWG (0.5 mm² to 1.3 mm²), this solid copper alloy terminal carries up to 13 A of continuous current.

Precision-machined from solid copper alloy stock and finished with heavy electro-nickel plating, the 0462-201-16141 resists fret corrosion, moisture oxidation, and contact degradation in harsh salt-air marine environments. The terminal requires a 4-indent mechanical crimp tool to ensure gas-tight connection, superior tensile pull-out strength, and low contact resistance across harsh vibration and thermal cycling conditions. 

Key Features

• Machined Solid Barrel: Heavy-duty solid copper alloy construction provides superior mechanical strength compared to stamped-and-formed alternatives.

• Electro-Nickel Plating: Protects against galvanic corrosion and contact tarnishing in marine and engine compartment environments.

• Environmentally Sealed Fit: Integrates seamlessly into rubber-gland sealed Deutsch DT series connector housings for IP68/IP69K water-tight protection.

• Primary Locking Feature: Includes internal retention shoulder that locks securely into connector housing cavities via secondary wedgelocks.

• Standard 4-Indent Crimp: Engineered for termination with 4-indent hand or pneumatic crimp tools (e.g., HDT-48-00).
