Deutsch Circular Connector 8 Contacts Cable Plug Female IP67 Thermoplastic 2.39 mm 25A HD20 Series HDP26-18-8SE

The Deutsch HDP26-18-8SE is a heavy-duty Industrial Circular Connector designed for robust cable mounting in demanding environments. It is built with a thermoplastic housing, providing excellent durability and resistance to corrosion, vibration, and physical impacts.

This connector is rated for IP67, making it suitable for applications exposed to dust, moisture, and temporary immersion. The female contact design, enhanced by nickel-plated copper contacts, ensures optimal conductivity and longevity, even in corrosive industrial settings. Supporting currents up to 25A and voltage up to 250V, the HDP26-18-8SE is ideal for intensive power connections and high-performance signal operations in machinery, control panels, automotive wiring, and manufacturing lines.

The bayonet mating type offers quick and secure connection/disconnection, increasing operator safety and minimizing downtime during maintenance or system changes. Its straight plug orientation makes installation straightforward, while the crimp termination provides a dependable wire attachment method, adaptable to industrial crimping tools commonly used in assembly.

With an operational temperature range from -55°C to 125°C, this connector accommodates various industrial climates, from refrigerated control rooms to outdoor processes. The HD20 Series compliance signifies adherence to rigorous industrial standards for mechanical and electrical performance, including vibration proofing up to 20g at 10 - 2000Hz and resistance to salt spray for 48 hours per MIL STD 1344.

The Deutsch HDP26-18-8SE is widely used in applications such as industrial machinery, electrical panels, process automation, automotive harnesses, railway systems, and harsh environment control systems. Its multipole configuration allows flexible circuit design, and the plug/socket form simplifies integration with existing equipment. Its versatility extends to construction sites, manufacturing floors, and water treatment facilities where reliability and environmental protection are critical.

For additional flexibility, straight or angled backshells accepting various conduit sizes are available within the HD20 Series, supporting cable management and strain relief for installation and maintenance workflows. Contact plating (nickel) and contact material (copper) further ensure stable electrical performance over extended cycles, meeting requirements for up to 100 mating operations minimum.
