MORE RELIABILITY IN HEAVY EQUIPMENT WITH TE'S DT CONNECTORS


TREND


NEXT GENERATION OF HEAVY EQUIPMENT

Tomorrow’s construction equipment, farm machinery, and mining vehicles will
operate autonomously, working twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. TE
Connectivity’s (TE) sensors and connectivity solutions are at the heart of the
technological breakthroughs that will make it possible.

 * CONNECTIVITY IN HARSH ENVIRONMENTS

 * DEUTSCH DT CONNECTOR DESIGN STRENGTHS


AUTHOR

Clark Woodruff, Global Product Manager, Industrial & Commercial Transportation

The equipment currently operating in the fields and worksites are loaded with
technology.  Global Positioning Systems (GPS), camera systems, efficient
engines, large touchscreen monitors, and advanced diagnostics are commonplace in
heavy machines. Many of these items are helping operators control the vehicles
semi-autonomously. The advancements reduce operator fatigue and have made
working long days easier. The new technology has also helped increase safety and
saved operating costs.


Taking things to the next level – fully autonomous heavy vehicles are just
around the corner. The idea of having huge combines and mining trucks driving
around without an operator at the controls raises several concerns in the minds
of many. Questions about safety, standards, and regulations are front and center
for most people. However, for the engineers that are tirelessly working to
design the equipment of the future, questions about how to transform their ideas
into creations are top of mind. For autonomous operation the sensing and
decision making activities normally assigned to the operator are now assigned to
the vehicle itself. Decision making involves complex software analytics to
process inputs and then assign tasks to the vehicle. All of these inputs must be
provided by devices that communicate with sub-systems and ultimately the vehicle
master control. To integrate all of these new systems, industrial and commercial
engineers ask themselves, “What type of connectivity products will support the
breakthrough technology needed to automate the next generation of equipment?”
That’s where TE comes in to help.


CONNECTIVITY IN HARSH ENVIRONMENTS

One of the primary connectivity challenges that construction equipment, farm
machinery, and mining vehicle manufacturers are faced with is exposure to harsh
conditions.  This is true in today’s equipment and in the future’s fully
autonomous vehicles. Even a small degradation in electrical connections can be
critical. Over the days, weeks, months, and years, all of the vibration,
moisture, dirt, and dust that the machines go through can wreak havoc on its
electrical system. Failure in an electrical system can be expensive to diagnose
and broken down equipment can stop entire operations. Choosing connectivity
solutions that are capable of withstanding the difficult conditions is
imperative.

Connector bodies and terminal systems must be able to stand up to the conditions
that they face in the field. Proper material choices are imperative to withstand
exposure to extreme temperatures, humidity, and fluids. Connector sealing
capable of withstanding immersion and pressure exposure is required, as well as
a firm, secure locking mechanism to withstand vibration and shock. A sealed and
steadfast connector engagement is only the first step for suitable connector
performance. The terminal system is the heart of the connector and must perform
flawlessly. Without these heavy-duty connectivity features, electrical systems
are not going to hold up under the stresses of the construction, agriculture,
and mining industries.

Failure in an electrical system can be expensive to diagnose and broken down
equipment can stop entire operations. Clark Woodruff, Global Product Manager,
Industrial & Commercial Transportation

TE specializes in connectors and sensors that are built to survive harsh
environments.  TE’s unparalleled portfolio of industrial and commercial
transportation products are specifically designed to meet the extreme demands
and challenges of non-stop, all-weather use. TE connectors are offered in
several different shapes, latching mechanisms, mounting styles, and materials to
meet diverse application requirements.

To protect connections from the harsh conditions that construction equipment,
farm machinery, and mining vehicles operate in, many engineers choose TE’s
DEUTSCH DT connectors. DT connectors have been making connections in harsh
industrial and commercial transportation environments for over thirty years.
Manufactured in 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 cavity arrangements and for
cable-to-cable, cable-to-board, and cable-to-device applications, design
flexibility is at the heart of the DT connector product line.


DEUTSCH DT CONNECTOR DESIGN STRENGTHS

DEUTSCH DT connector design strengths include optional flange mounting,
multi-pin arrangements, and design flexibility.  DT connectors offer the ability
to use multiple size 16 DEUTSCH contacts, each with 13 amp continuous capacity
for power and plating options for signal. Wedgelocks are used to secure the
contacts in position within the connector shell. Thermoplastic housings offer a
wide operating temperature range and silicone rear wire and interface seals
allow the connectors to withstand conditions of extreme temperature and
moisture. DT connectors can be configured for printed circuit board mounting. DT
connectors for electronic modules are available in straight or 90° pins and
offer sealed flanges or flangeless header mounting. DT products have options for
specialized headers and offer full enclosure solutions. They are also available
with internal components including resistors, diodes, buss-bars, and LED.


Product Group

DEUTSCH DT Connectors

Our DEUTSCH DT connectors offer field proven reliability and rugged quality. The
DT design strengths include optional flange mounting, multi-pin arrangements,
and design flexibility.



Engineers designing the equipment of tomorrow need connectivity products that
offer field proven reliability and rugged quality.  Peace of mind knowing that
the connections on autonomous construction equipment, farm machinery, and mining
vehicles are protected by decades of engineering knowledge and confirmed by
being put to the test in the real-world is priceless.

TE is helping to bring the seemingly impossible to life. Collaborative
relationships between TE and innovative equipment companies will make the
future’s heavy machinery more connected. When autonomous equipment takes over
the fields and worksites, products like DEUTSCH DT connectors will be making it
all possible.

DT connectors feature several accessory items that complement the connectors
including boots, backshells, gaskets, dust caps, and mounting clips. They cover
a wide array of design requirements such as assisting with mounting, providing
additional protection, and offering enhanced aesthetics.

The DT connector product line’s design flexibility empower engineers – there’s
no need to compromise. Because DT connectors have been around for thirty years,
the product line has evolved and strengthened by offering innovative
modifications to meet engineering requirements, while remaining true to the
original DT connector design as a rugged solution for harsh environments.



DEUTSCH DT Connectors - Options You Need

DEUTSCH DT connectors are offered with several modifications to enhance design
flexibility and meet application specific needs.
