Printed Circuit Board Connectors
Printed Circuit Board Overview
Deutsch Industrial printed circuit board or PCB connectors are heavy duty environmentally sealed connectors designed for
wire-to-circuit board connections. Deutsch PCB connectors are built to maintain the integrity and continuity of data and
power signals in harsh environments. Developed and designed for heavy duty electronically equipped vehicles, Deutsch
Industrial printed circuit board connections use standard Deutsch connector bodies and will withstand dust, dirt, moisture,
and vibration.
Available in a variety of styles from several different connector families, Deutsch printed circuit board connectors cover a
range of pin counts from 2 to 80 and wire gauges from 10 to 22. Many of the connectors are available in straight, 90°, or
solder pot options.
Deutsch PCB connectors mate with standard Deutsch plugs. With integral silicone wire seals and molded-in contacts that
do not require potting or epoxy sealant, Deutsch PCB connectors are sealed, reliable, and easy to install.

Printed Circuit Board Enclosures and Headers
Deutsch Industrial offers compact circuit board enclosures that accept snap-in headers. The enclosure features a through
hole mounting fl ange on each side, as well as optional venting. Designed with space to accommodate one or more DT or
DTM Series interfaces, the headers feature 90° pins. A radial fl ange seal provides environmental sealing to the enclosure.
The headers mate with the DT and DTM standard plugs.

Electronic Module Design Recommendations
Deutsch connectors are designed to handle all environmental conditions typically seen on heavy duty equipment. Design
considerations have been given for temperature, vibration, and high current levels to exist simultaneously in a connector
with no performance degradation.
Applications with data input/output signals of 0 to 5 volts require special consideration in the terminal selection. The pri-
mary concern is ensuring the low voltage signal is carried through the circuit. To minimize signal degradation, select a gold
plated terminal. Gold is a better plating choice for 0 to 5 volt applications because it does not oxidize and easily conducts
lower voltage signals. Nickel and tin platings are not designed for voltage levels less than 5 volts. Terminals plated with
nickel and tin will over time form a layer of oxidation on the surface of the plating that only higher voltage signals are able
to break through. The small additional cost for the gold terminal can dramatically improve the reliability of the electronic
system.
Low Voltage Circuits
Air Tight Connections
In some applications, it is important to prevent air from
penetrating electronic enclosures. Air can bring in water
vapor and create condensation on the printed circuit
board. To prevent this from happening, potting or a light
conformal coating can be applied to the board.
Another method for protecting against air penetration
is to seal the enclosure after it is assembled and tested.
One drawback to consider is accommodating the con-
nector interface. The fl ange seal prevents air penetra-
tion at the fl ange, but there is still a possibility for air to
enter through the pin terminal area. Deutsch has several
designs that offer a seal around the terminal. This can
prevent any air penetration through the connector up to
a 5 p.s.i. pressure differential. Consult a Deutsch repre-
sentative for additional assistance.

Printed Circuit Board Connectors
Eliminating Long Term Vibration Problems
A typical heavy duty application uses either a straight
extended pin connector or a connector with pins that
are bent 90° to the axis of the connector. At the point
the connector mates with the board, there is a mechani-
cal attachment for the connector to the pc board which
is independent of the solder. The engaging end of the
connector normally goes through an opening in the box
that houses the pc board. The connector is then attached
to the box during which time a seal is used to prevent
moisture intrusion into the box.
Another design pitfall is stress on the soldered terminal
on the connector. To avoid these concerns, an allowance
must be made to assure that stress between the pc board
and connector does not interfere with the seal perfor-
mance. There are a variety of methods that can be used
to create a successful design. These methods include
having the pc board loose in the box and then pot the
box with a fl exible sealant after the sealing fl ange is at-
tached to the box. Another possibility would be to refl ow
the solder after the board and connector are mounted
in the box. There are several good approaches to solving
these problems and providing a trouble free installation.
Consult a Deutsch representative for assistance specifi c to
your application.
A critical concern when applying connectors to printed circuit boards is the long term durability as it relates to temperature
cycling and vibration. All of the components including the design of the box, the pc board, the connector, and the seal
must work together to account for temperature cycling and vibration. The main concern is to not have the pc board fl ex in
service.
