The 12-Pin Wedge Lock Connector W12S is a critical DT Series accessory designed to enhance contact retention and alignment. As a dedicated secondary lock component, it ensures electrical contacts stay securely in place, even in high-vibration or harsh operating environments. Engineered exclusively for DT Series housings, this durable automotive wedge lock is essential for applications where connection integrity is non-negotiable—heavy-duty machinery, automotive electronic systems, and industrial equipment. Its precision design and robust build make it a trusted contact retention connector for demanding use cases.

Construction and mining equipment operate under intense vibration and physical stress, which can loosen electrical connections over time. The 12-Pin Wedge Lock adds a layer of security, confirming proper contact alignment and preventing accidental disconnection. This safeguards hydraulic controls, engine management systems, and other critical components, reducing costly downtime for operators.
Modern vehicles feature complex electronics—infotainment, safety systems, and engine controls—where minor connection issues cause malfunctions. The DT Series Wedge Lock integrates seamlessly with DT connectors, reinforcing contact retention in tight spaces like dashboards or chassis. It’s a reliable automotive electronic accessory for automakers and aftermarket installers seeking to enhance system reliability.
Industrial automation relies on consistent connections to maintain production efficiency. Conveyor systems, robotic arms, and control panels face constant movement, dust, and temperature changes that threaten stability. The secondary lock connector ensures contacts stay aligned, minimizing maintenance needs and maximizing uptime for manufacturing facilities.
12-Pin Compatibility: Tailored for 12-cavity DT Series housings, providing targeted retention for multi-pin setups.
Secondary Lock Function: Adds security beyond primary locks, preventing contact displacement from vibration or impact.
Durable PBT Housing: Resists heat, chemicals, and physical wear, ensuring long-term performance in harsh environments.
Precision Alignment Design: Optimizes contact positioning, enhancing electrical conductivity and connection stability.
Tool-Free Installation: Press-fit design enables quick, secure assembly, reducing labor time and costs.
Constructed from high-grade PBT material, the W12S Wedge Lock Connector withstands industrial and automotive rigors. Its compact, lightweight design fits into tight spaces without compromising functionality. The bright orange color enhances visibility, simplifying inspection and maintenance checks. As a contact retention accessory, it works in tandem with DT Series housings to create a secure connection that resists vibration, temperature fluctuations, and contaminants. It’s compatible with a range of DT Series connectors, offering versatility across industries.
We provide flexible customization services for the W12S 12-Pin Wedge Lock. Our OEM solutions include modifying housing color, material thickness, and pin compatibility to align with unique housing designs or application needs. Expert technical support assists with integration, helping engineers determine optimal placement for maximum effectiveness. Flexible packaging options cater to bulk production runs or small-batch prototype testing. For specialized requirements—enhanced heat resistance, custom locking mechanisms—our team collaborates to develop tailored solutions that meet industry standards and project goals, maintaining the same reliability as standard products.
