Connector & Pin Identifier
Broken plug, chewed cable, or a sensor that doesn't match the harness? Pick what the connector looks like and we'll name it, tell you the pins and tools it takes, and get you the parts or a built cable.
What does it look like?
Answer what you can — every answer narrows the list. You don't need all of them.

Get the parts — or let us build the cable
Repairing one pin is a $5 fix. If the housing is cracked, more than a couple of pins are green, or you need a different connector on the other end, a built cable with molded strain relief lasts longer than a field splice.
Doing the repair
Good habits for any sprayer connector
- Power off before unplugging nodes and consoles — hot-plugging CAN devices is how good nodes die.
- Match the wire gauge to the contact. A 14 AWG wire in a 16–20 AWG contact won't crimp properly and will fail in a season.
- Use the right crimp. Solid Deutsch contacts need a 4-indent crimper; Weather Pack and Metri-Pack need an open-barrel (W-crimp) tool that crimps the conductor and the seal separately. Pliers and a soldering iron are temporary fixes.
- Seal every cavity. Unused Weather Pack / Metri-Pack cavities get a cavity plug; Deutsch wedges don't seat if a seal is missing.
- Dielectric grease on the mating face is fine on Weather Pack / Metri-Pack / round connectors; keep it off the wire seals and out of Deutsch wedge locks.
- Strain-relieve the cable within a foot of the connector. Most failures are at the first zip tie or the boom hinge, not the plug.
- Check it with the console on. Wiggle the repaired joint and watch the screen — intermittent means a bad crimp or a backed-out pin.
How to identify a sprayer electrical connector
Almost every connector on an ag sprayer, spreader or planter comes from a handful of families: Deutsch DT / DTM / DTP (the gray rectangular plugs with the colored wedge), Weather Pack (black tower-and-shroud with round pins and green seals), Metri-Pack (flat blade terminals, used on sensors and transducers), AMP Superseal, round Conxall / AMP CPC plugs on older Raven consoles and flow meters, the round 9-pin ISOBUS / J1939 CAN connector, and the big round Deutsch HD30 / HDP20 shells on Hawkeye and planter harnesses. Tell them apart by four things: overall shape, pin count, whether the contacts are round pins or flat blades, and how it locks.
Deutsch DT vs DTM vs DTP
All three are gray (sometimes black) rectangular connectors with a wedge lock. The difference is the contact size: DT uses size 16 contacts (about 1.6 mm pin, 14–20 AWG, 13 A); DTM uses smaller size 20 contacts (1.0 mm pin, 16–22 AWG, 7.5 A) in a noticeably smaller housing; DTP uses size 12 contacts (2.4 mm pin, 10–14 AWG, 25 A) in a bigger one. A 2-pin DT is about 7/8" wide; a 2-pin DTM about 5/8"; a 2-pin DTP over an inch. The series is also molded on the housing. Plugs (DT06-xS) hold socket contacts and the wire seal; receptacles (DT04-xP) hold pin contacts.
Weather Pack vs Metri-Pack
Weather Pack contacts are round pins and sleeves with a separate color-coded cable seal (gray 20–18 AWG, green 16–14, blue 12–10); housings are a "tower" and a "shroud" that snap together with a hinged latch. Metri-Pack contacts are flat blades — the series number is the blade width in tenths of a millimeter (150 = 1.5 mm, 280 = 2.8 mm, 480, 630) — and come in sealed and unsealed versions, often pull-to-seat on sensors and pressure transducers.
Which one is on my Raven system?
| Component | Connector you'll usually find |
|---|---|
| Boom sense, boom valves, section valves (newer) | 2-pin Deutsch DT |
| Control / boom valve motors (older) and Raven "Packard" valves | 2-pin Weather Pack |
| Flow meter (RFM series) | 3-pin round Conxall (older) or 3-pin Deutsch DT |
| Pressure transducer | 3-pin Metri-Pack 150 (pull-to-seat) or 3-pin Deutsch DT |
| Radar / speed sensor | 3-pin round (Dickey-john) or 4-pin Deutsch DT |
| CAN / ISOBUS in-cab, tractor and implement | 9-pin round Deutsch (ISO 11783 / J1939 style) |
| Hawkeye NCV chain, Gen 3 planter harness | 19-pin round Deutsch HDP20 |
| Older SCS 440 / 450 / 660 console rear | Round AMP CPC and Conxall plugs |
| Proximity, bin-level and implement switches | 3-pin Deutsch DT, M12, or 2-pin Weather Pack |
Common questions
Is my Deutsch connector male or female?
Go by the contact, not the housing. The receptacle (DT04) has pin contacts and a flat face — call it male. The plug (DT06) has socket contacts, the orange/green wedge and the big wire seal — call it female. Cable houses and parts books describe them both ways, so "2-pin DT receptacle with pins" is the unambiguous way to order.
Can I replace one pin, or do I need a new connector?
One corroded or backed-out contact is a ten-minute fix with the right crimper and removal tool. Replace the housing if it's cracked, the latch is broken, or the wedge won't stay in. If more than two or three contacts are green, the corrosion is up the wire too and a new cable is the better repair.
Can I convert from one connector to another?
Yes — that's most of what we build: Deutsch-to-Weather Pack sensor adapters, Conxall-to-DT flow meter adapters, gender swaps and extensions. Use the "Request this cable" form above with both ends and the length and we'll quote it.
Do you sell individual contacts and wedges?
We keep common Deutsch DT contacts, wedges and cavity plugs and Weather Pack terminals and seals in the store. Not all are on the website — call with the series and pin count and we'll ship them.
