Overview

The DRC13-24PA is a 24-position right-angle PCB header designed for high pin-density applications in harsh environments. Part of the DEUTSCH DRC series, it features a rugged thermoplastic housing and 90-degree molded pins rated for up to 13A per contact. This shrouded connector is engineered to withstand the vibration and moisture levels common in heavy equipment and automotive electronic control units.

Why Choose This Part

This connector utilizes a secure jackscrew locking mechanism to prevent accidental disconnection in high-vibration scenarios. It supports a wide wire range of 22 to 14 AWG and offers a high current capacity of 13A at 250V, making it versatile for both power and signal transmission.

Applications

Engine Control Units (ECU)
Provides a high-density, vibration-resistant interface for engine management and powertrain controllers.
Industrial Automation Cabinets
Used as a bulkhead connector for PLC and sensor monitoring systems in rugged factory environments.
Agricultural Machinery
Connects cab instrumentation and external implement sensors on tractors and harvesters.
