🔌 47-Pin High-Density Connector

The HD36-24-47SE provides an impressive 47 individual contact positions inside one circular connector housing.

This makes it ideal for complex wiring systems where numerous circuits need to pass through one removable connection.

Typical circuits may include:

• Sensors
• Switch inputs
• Relay controls
• Lighting circuits
• ECU wiring
• CAN communications
• Instrument wiring
• Power feeds
• Ground circuits
• Auxiliary equipment
• Control signals

As a result, multiple individual connectors can potentially be replaced by one organised multi-pin connection.

⚙️ Deutsch HD30 Series

The HD36-24-47SE belongs to the Deutsch HD30 Series, a heavy-duty circular connector family designed for demanding transportation and equipment applications.

The HD30 design combines:

• Rugged aluminium construction
• Environmental sealing
• Secure contact retention
• Bayonet coupling
• Replaceable crimp contacts
• Serviceable wiring

Consequently, it is particularly useful where reliability and ease of servicing are important.

🔩 Mixed Size 16 & Size 20 Contacts

The 47-position configuration uses a combination of:

• 5 × Size 16 contact positions
• 42 × Size 20 contact positions

This hybrid arrangement allows larger and smaller circuits to be combined within the same connector housing.

Size 16 contacts can support up to approximately 13A per contact, while Size 20 contacts can support up to approximately 7.5A per contact, depending on the actual contact, conductor size and operating conditions.

Therefore, the connector can accommodate both moderate-current circuits and lower-current signal wiring.

⚡ Ideal for Mixed Power & Signal Wiring

A major advantage of a hybrid connector is the ability to carry different circuit types through one harness connection.

For example, a single connector may contain:

• Sensor signals
• ECU inputs
• Relay triggers
• Lighting controls
• Communication wiring
• Moderate-current power circuits

This can significantly simplify complex harness installations.

However, every individual circuit should still be designed within the limits of the selected contact and conductor.

💧 IP67 Sealed Connection

When correctly assembled with suitable contacts, seals and mating components, the HD30 connector system provides strong environmental protection.

The HD36-24-47SE is commonly specified with an IP67 protection rating, helping protect internal electrical contacts against:

• Dust
• Water
• Mud
• Road grime
• Engine-bay contamination
• Outdoor operating conditions

Correct cable seals and connector assembly are essential for maintaining sealing performance.

🛡️ Heavy-Duty Aluminium Housing

Unlike many smaller automotive connectors that use polymer housings, the HD36-24-47SE features a rugged aluminium alloy shell.

This provides excellent durability for demanding applications involving:

• Vehicle vibration
• Machinery
• Engine bays
• Off-road vehicles
• Motorsport
• Industrial equipment
• Agricultural machinery

Furthermore, the metal housing provides a professional heavy-duty connection suited to high-use installations.

🔐 Secure Bayonet Coupling

The HD30 Series uses a bayonet-style mating system.

This allows the connector halves to be joined securely while still remaining easy to disconnect intentionally.

Benefits include:

• Fast connection
• Secure mechanical engagement
• Excellent vibration resistance
• Easy equipment servicing
• Simple harness removal

Therefore, it is ideal where wiring may need to be disconnected regularly during vehicle or equipment maintenance.

🚙 Perfect for 4WD & Custom Vehicle Wiring

Complex 4WD builds can contain substantial electrical systems.

The 47-pin connector can be used for applications including:

• Removable ute canopies
• Custom dashboards
• Switch panels
• Engine conversions
• Auxiliary electrical systems
• Vehicle body harnesses
• Motorsport wiring
• Control systems

For example, a removable canopy can use one large connector to carry multiple lighting, pump, sensor and control circuits between the vehicle and canopy.

🏁 Motorsport & Engine Harness Applications

High-density Deutsch connectors are particularly useful in motorsport and performance vehicle wiring.

Potential applications include:

• Engine harnesses
• ECU wiring
• Bulkhead connections
• Dashboard wiring
• Data acquisition systems
• Sensor looms
• Motorsport switch panels
• Custom engine conversions

Additionally, the removable connection can make engine or harness removal significantly easier.

🚜 Agricultural & Machinery Wiring

Deutsch HD30 connectors are also ideal for machinery operating in harsh conditions.

Applications may include:

• Tractors
• Excavators
• Agricultural machinery
• Mining equipment
• Pumps
• Industrial machines
• Control systems
• Heavy equipment
• Commercial vehicles

Because the connector combines environmental sealing with strong mechanical construction, it is well suited to mobile equipment.

🌡️ Wide Operating Temperature Range

The HD36-24-47SE is designed for demanding environments, with a specified operating temperature range of approximately:

-55°C to +125°C

This makes it suitable for engine-bay, machinery and industrial applications where significant temperature variation can occur.

🔌 Female / Socket Contact Housing

The HD36-24-47SE is designed to accept female socket contacts.

Compatible contact sizes include:

• Size 16
• Size 20

Importantly, the housing itself should not be confused with the contacts.

Always ensure the correct:

• Contact type
• Contact size
• Wire gauge
• Crimping tool
• Mating connector

are selected for the installation.

🔧 Crimp-Terminal Installation

The HD30 system uses replaceable crimp contacts.

A typical assembly process involves:

1. Select the correct contact size.
2. Strip the conductor to the required length.
3. Insert the conductor into the contact.
4. Crimp using a suitable Deutsch contact crimper.
5. Inspect the completed crimp.
6. Insert the contact into the correct cavity.
7. Confirm that the terminal is securely retained.
8. Install cavity sealing plugs in unused positions where required.
9. Mate the connector with the compatible opposite housing.

Correct crimping is essential for achieving reliable electrical and mechanical performance.

🔄 Serviceable Wiring Harness Design

One of the major advantages of Deutsch connector systems is serviceability.

Individual terminals can be removed and replaced using an appropriate contact-removal tool.

Therefore, installers can:

• Repair damaged wires
• Replace contacts
• Repin circuits
• Modify harnesses
• Upgrade equipment
• Replace connector housings

without replacing the entire wiring loom.

  Size 16 – 13A

  Size 20 – 7.5A

  Actual safe current depends on conductor size, contacts, temperature and the complete installation.
