Choose a connector by its exact series, contact type, position count, housing key and supplied contents. A similar appearance or a matching pin count alone does not establish compatibility. PEVXI product pages separate the reference model, shipping SKU and included parts so you can check the actual configuration before ordering.
1. Start with the series and reference model
Read the marking on both mating parts and compare it with the product's Model & Reference Codes or specifications. A reference number helps identify a style; it does not mean a generic replacement is original equipment from that brand. The shipping SKU identifies the PEVXI configuration you will receive.
Browse DT connectors, PCB headers and kits, DTM connectors, DTP connectors, 1.5 mm connector configurations and all connectors and cable assemblies.
2. Check contact type, positions and keying
Male pin contacts and female socket contacts describe the electrical contact. Plug and receptacle describe the housing. Check both descriptions rather than relying on the photograph's left/right position or a supplier's naming convention. Compare the number and arrangement of positions, keying, locking features and mating reference.
For example, the listed DT04-2P-reference male set uses pin contacts, while the DT06-2S-reference female set uses socket contacts. Check the actual product specifications and included components for your selected configuration.
3. Match mounting and termination
Panel, flange, inline cable, PCB header and prewired versions serve different installation needs. Confirm the mounting arrangement, termination method and any published dimensions. For PCB parts, compare the actual board footprint; for prewired parts, check the complete cable configuration and stated length.
Compare GX12 circular connectors, GX16 circular connectors, SMM / CPC circular connectors, AMPSEAL-style ECU connectors and 26/34-position ECU configurations. Do not transfer ratings or dimensions between different series or installation versions.
4. Read the included-parts list
A housing, a single-side set with contacts, a male-and-female set, an individual contact and a boxed kit are different sales units. Read the product's included-parts table and image before ordering. Wires, tools and equipment shown in an application illustration are included only when the product explicitly lists them.
For a boxed kit, check the complete fixed contents and selected tool option. The kit's internal piece count is different from the number of boxes in a pack. Do not assume that every version includes the same contacts, seals or tool.
5. Understand pack quantities
The product's pack option determines how many base sales units are in one pack. The quantity field counts packs. Total base sales units = number of packs × units per selected pack.
Example: selecting a pack of 5 complete sets and ordering quantity 2 means 10 complete sets. Each set contains the components specified on that product page. A cable length such as 1 m or 20 cm describes the cable; it is not a pack quantity.
6. Confirm operating requirements before use
Use only the electrical ratings, wire information, dimensions and conditions published for the exact product configuration. A style reference, similar shell or general application description does not establish a rating, certification or universal fit. Ask for clarification if the product does not provide the information needed for your installation. Assemble and inspect parts on de-energized circuits.
Common questions
Does a male connector set include the female mating half?
Only if the product explicitly lists both halves. A single-side set may contain one housing and its matching contacts; the mating side can be sold separately. Use the included-parts list for the selected SKU.
Can I order only contacts or a cable clamp?
Some families list matching contacts and accessories separately. Open the family links on the product page and confirm the accessory's exact reference, contact size and configuration before ordering.
What information should I send for help identifying a part?
Send the part number, clear photographs of the mating face and marking, relevant dimensions, required quantity and delivery country. Contact PEVXI before ordering if the identification or compatibility is uncertain.
Where can I check shipping and returns?
Review the current shipping policy and returns policy. Product preparation and transport time are separate. Use the current policy and checkout options for your delivery country.
