JRready ST6316 DT Deutsch Connector Kit – 2–12 Pin, ACT-LY-16DT Crimp Tool, Size 16 Contacts

Overview

The JRready ST6316 DT Deutsch Connector Kit brings together a complete DT family solution designed for versatility and reliability. It covers 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 cavities, and uses size 16 stamped contacts for both pins and sockets. Contacts are nickel-plated overall with tin plating on the wire barrel, improving solderability and resistance to corrosion. The kit supports 14–18 AWG wires and offers optional inline, flange, or PCB mounting to fit a variety of harness layouts. The included ACT-LY-16DT crimp tool is tailored for 16 AWG open-barrel terminals (AWG 18–14) and features a ratchet action for consistent results. A multifunctional extraction tool works across multiple Deutsch series for wedgelock removal and pin/socket release, simplifying field maintenance.

Whether you’re assembling a new harness, upgrading an existing setup, or performing routine maintenance, the kit is designed to help you work efficiently with confidence. The robust housings and seals deliver protection in challenging environments, while the combination of parts supports flexible installation options and durable connections over time.
