The flush mount design ensures that the deutsch connector sits level with the mounting surface, providing a neat and low-profile installation.
Connector Housing:
Base: A flat square base (approximately 50 mm x 50 mm) with mounting holes in the corners for secure attachment.
Cavity: A central cavity designed to snugly fit the DT4 or DT6 connectors.
Edges: Smooth edges and slightly rounded corners for better aesthetics and handling.
Mounting Features:
Mounting Holes: Each corner of the base has a pre-designed hole for screws, ensuring the connector can be securely mounted to a panel or surface.
Flange: The connector includes a flange around the cavity to provide a flush fit against the mounting surface.
Waterproofing:
After inserting the DT4 or DT6 connector into the cavity, it is recommended to apply silicone around the edges and the base to prevent water ingress. This ensures the connection remains waterproof and dustproof.
Print Settings:
Material: Use PETG or ABS for better durability and resistance to environmental factors.
Layer Height: 0.1 - 0.2 mm for a smooth finish and detailed features.
Infill: 20-30% infill density for strength while keeping the part lightweight.
Orientation: Print with the base flat on the print bed to avoid the need for supports.
Applications
Automotive: Suitable for dashboard installations and engine bay connections where a clean and secure electrical connection is required.
Marine: Ideal for use in boats and other marine applications where waterproof connections are necessary.
Industrial: Used in control panels and other industrial equipment requiring robust and waterproof electrical connections.
