Dual 50A Anderson + DT12 Deutsch Panel Mount – 4WD Canopy Power Connector

Razorback DC PM2-DT12 – Dual 50A Anderson + 12 Pin Deutsch Panel Mount

Create a clean, professional central connection point for your 12V or 24V electrical system with the Razorback DC PM2-DT12 Dual 50A Anderson + 12 Pin Deutsch Panel Mount.

Building on the popular Razorback DC PM2 design, the PM2-DT12 combines 2 × 50A Anderson-style power connectors with a 12-pin Deutsch DT connector in one compact panel-mount housing.

This combination allows higher-current power connections and multiple smaller signal, trigger or accessory circuits to be brought together at one convenient location.

As a result, the PM2-DT12 is ideal for removable ute canopies, 4WD electrical systems, caravans, camper trailers, service bodies, battery systems and custom wiring harnesses.

🔌 Two 50A Anderson Power Connections

The PM2-DT12 includes two 50A Anderson-style connector positions, providing convenient removable connections for higher-current DC circuits.

Depending on your electrical system, these connections can be used for:

• Auxiliary battery power
• DC-DC charger input or output
• Solar input
• Fridge supply
• Battery charging
• Portable equipment
• External power connections
• Accessory power distribution

Each Anderson connector can be wired independently according to the requirements of your installation.

🔧 Integrated 12 Pin Deutsch DT Connector

What separates the PM2-DT12 from the standard PM2 is the addition of a 12-pin Deutsch DT connector.

Instead of running numerous individual plugs for smaller circuits, the DT12 provides 12 individual contact positions through one compact removable connector.

This makes it particularly useful for circuits such as:

• Ignition triggers
• Lighting circuits
• Switch signals
• Pumps
• Sensors
• Relay triggers
• Canopy accessories
• Central locking signals
• Door switches
• Work lights
• Interior lighting
• Low-current accessory circuits

Therefore, one connection can handle multiple control and accessory circuits while the Anderson connectors handle the larger power feeds.

⚡ Power + Control Connections in One Panel

One of the biggest advantages of the PM2-DT12 is the ability to separate your electrical system into two connection types.

For example:

Anderson Connector 1 → Main Auxiliary Power

Anderson Connector 2 → Charging / Solar / Additional Power

DT12 Connector → Lighting, Switching, Sensors & Control Circuits

This creates a much cleaner installation than using multiple loose connectors throughout the vehicle.

🛻 Perfect for Removable Ute Canopies

The PM2-DT12 is particularly well suited to removable ute canopy systems.

A canopy may contain:

• Lithium battery system
• Interior lights
• Work lights
• Water pump
• Fridge
• Solar equipment
• DC-DC charger
• Door switches
• Sensors
• Auxiliary accessories

Instead of individually disconnecting numerous wires whenever the canopy is removed, the PM2-DT12 can provide organised connection points for both power and control circuits.

As a result, removing or servicing a canopy becomes considerably easier.

🚙 Ideal for 4WD Electrical Systems

Modern 4WD electrical systems can contain many individual accessories.

The PM2-DT12 provides a centralised solution for:

• Dual-battery installations
• Lithium battery systems
• Ute canopies
• Drawer systems
• Touring setups
• Switch panels
• Lighting systems
• Pumps
• Charging equipment
• Auxiliary accessories

Furthermore, its panel-mounted design helps keep wiring organised and accessible.

🏕️ Caravan & Camper Applications

The PM2-DT12 is also ideal for caravan and camper installations where both higher-current power and smaller control circuits need to pass through one area.

Applications may include:

• Battery charging
• Solar
• Fridge circuits
• Water pumps
• Exterior lighting
• Interior lighting
• Tank sensors
• Trailer accessories
• Switch circuits
• Auxiliary electrical equipment

Combining these connections into one panel creates a neater and more professional installation.

☀️ DC-DC Charger & Solar Installations

The two Anderson connectors can be incorporated into many DC-DC charger or solar systems.

For example:

• Anderson 1 – vehicle battery supply
• Anderson 2 – solar input
• DT12 – ignition trigger and additional control wiring

Alternatively, each connector can be configured differently depending on your electrical system.

Always follow the charger manufacturer's wiring requirements.

💡 Perfect for Lighting Systems

The 12-pin Deutsch connector is especially useful when several lighting circuits need to be disconnected together.

For example, a ute canopy may contain:

• Left work light
• Right work light
• Rear work light
• Interior light
• Camp light
• Door-triggered lighting

Rather than having multiple individual plugs, several circuits can be incorporated into the DT12 connection.

🔄 Easy Equipment Removal & Servicing

Removable connectors can significantly simplify maintenance.

The PM2-DT12 is ideal where equipment may eventually need to be:

• Removed
• Repaired
• Replaced
• Upgraded
• Rewired
• Transferred to another vehicle

Instead of cutting wiring, connectors can simply be disconnected.

This makes the electrical system easier to maintain and modify.

🧱 Clean Flush-Mount Design

Rather than leaving plugs hanging from loose wiring, the PM2-DT12 securely mounts the connection points into a fixed panel.

Suitable installation locations include:

• Ute canopy walls
• Electrical boards
• Battery boxes
• Caravan panels
• Drawer systems
• Service bodies
• Camper trailers
• Custom electrical enclosures

The result is a cleaner and more professional finished installation.

🔐 Secure Deutsch Connector Design

Deutsch DT-style connectors use a positive locking system designed for automotive and mobile electrical environments.

When correctly assembled, the DT12 connection provides:

• Secure contact retention
• Positive connector locking
• Good vibration resistance
• Serviceable terminals
• Organised multi-circuit wiring

This makes it particularly useful in 4WD and machinery environments.

🛠️ Professional Wiring Harness Integration

The PM2-DT12 is ideal for anyone building a custom wiring harness.

A professional installation could include:

Vehicle Harness → PM2-DT12 → Removable Canopy Harness

This provides a central disconnect point between the vehicle and attached electrical equipment.

It is especially useful for:

• Custom canopy manufacturers
• Auto electricians
• 4WD installers
• Caravan builders
• Service vehicle fit-outs
• DIY touring builds

🔧 Correct Terminal Crimping

Both the Anderson contacts and Deutsch terminals should be correctly crimped using suitable tools.

For best results:

1. Select the correct cable and terminal.
2. Strip the conductor to the required length.
3. Insert the conductor fully into the terminal.
4. Crimp using the appropriate tool.
5. Inspect the completed crimp.
6. Insert the terminal into the correct connector cavity.
7. Verify polarity and circuit position.
8. Secure the panel mount.
9. Test all circuits before connecting equipment.

Correct crimping helps reduce electrical resistance and improve connection reliability.

⚠️ DT12 Circuit Selection

The DT12 connector should not automatically be treated as a high-current power connection.

The safe current capacity of each DT circuit depends on:

• Terminal type
• Wire size
• Connector contacts
• Ambient temperature
• Installation conditions
• Electrical load

Use the 50A Anderson connections for appropriately designed higher-current circuits, while the DT12 is particularly useful for smaller accessory, trigger, signal and control wiring.

🔥 Fuse Protection

Power circuits should always use appropriately rated fuse or circuit-breaker protection.

Depending on the installation, suitable protection may include:

• MIDI fuses
• MAXI fuses
• MEGA fuses
• Circuit breakers

Circuit protection should be selected to protect the cable and connected equipment.
