Value Collection BDW12S Dt Series Wedgelock Terminal 10pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDW12S is a plastic wedgelock designed for use in DT Series automotive electrical connectors. Wedgelocks serve a critical function in these connector assemblies: once inserted, they lock the terminal contacts in position and prevent them from backing out under vibration, thermal cycling, or mechanical stress. This part is handled by automotive electricians, fleet maintenance technicians, and electrical harness builders who work with Deutsch-style DT Series connector systems. The package includes 10 individual wedgelock pieces.

Wedgelocks in this style are used wherever DT Series connectors appear in vehicle wiring harnesses, off-road equipment, agricultural machinery, heavy-duty trucks, and marine electrical systems. They are installed during the final stage of connector assembly after terminals have been crimped and seated into the connector housing. The BDW12S is a straightforward plastic retention component with no electrical function of its own.

Compatibility

Designed for use with DT Series connector housings that accept wedgelock retention components. No specific compatible part numbers or model families were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by automotive or equipment electricians as part of connector assembly. Terminals must be fully seated in the connector housing before the wedgelock is pressed into place. No special tools are typically required, though a pick or small flat tool may assist removal. Disconnect all power to the circuit before servicing any connector in a live wiring harness.
