FAQs
What is an HDSCS connector?
HDSCS stands for "High-Density Sealed Circular Connector." It's a type of connector designed for harsh environments, offering sealing against dust and moisture, and is commonly used in automotive and industrial applications.
What size cables can be used with this connector?
This connector is designed for cables with a cross-sectional area of 1.0mm² to 2.0mm².
Does this kit include the crimping tool?
No, the crimping tool is not included. It is recommended to use a compatible tool such as Laser Part No. 7002.
What are the different terminal sizes for?
The kit includes 1.5mm² terminals with grey seals and 2.8mm² terminals with blue seals. These are for connecting wires of different gauges or current ratings within the specified 1.0mm² - 2.0mm² range.
How do I ensure the connection is weatherproof?
Proper installation of the included weather seals is crucial. Ensure the correct seal (grey for 1.5mm², blue for 2.8mm²) is fitted over the terminal and slides snugly into the connector housing, creating a barrier against moisture.
Can I use this connector for standard automotive applications?
While it can be used in automotive applications, it is specifically designed and optimized for the more demanding conditions found in commercial vehicles and off-road environments.
Where can I find other Connect HDSCS connector sizes?
The product description lists several other part numbers for different pin counts and terminal sizes, such as 34338, 34339, 34340, and more. You can also check for the 265pc assorted kit (Part No. 34337).
Troubleshooting
Terminal not making good contact
Ensure the terminal is fully seated in the connector housing and that the crimp on the wire is secure and properly formed. Check that the correct terminal size was used for the wire gauge.
Connector leaks water/moisture
Verify that the correct weather seals are installed and properly seated on each wire, covering the terminal and the back of the connector cavity. Ensure seals are not damaged.
Wire pull-out from terminal
Re-crimp the terminal onto the wire using the appropriate tool, ensuring a strong mechanical bond. Use the correct terminal size for the wire gauge.
Connector housing difficult to assemble
Ensure terminals and seals are correctly oriented and fully inserted into their respective cavities before attempting to mate connector halves. Check for any debris obstructing the cavities.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Specifically engineered for rugged commercial and off-road environments.
- Includes a variety of terminal sizes for flexibility in wiring projects.
- Comes with necessary weather seals to ensure a protected connection.
- Provides a neat and organized 16-pin connection point.
- Part of a broader range of Connect HDSCS connectors for system compatibility.

- May be more than needed for simple, non-critical applications.
- Specific terminal and seal types mean users must match them correctly to wires.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Identify the wires to be connected and ensure they are within the 1.0mm² - 2.0mm² range.
- Select the appropriate terminal size (1.5mm² or 2.8mm²) for each wire.
- Using a compatible crimping tool (e.g., Laser Part No. 7002), crimp the terminals onto the stripped ends of the wires.
- Slide the correct color weather seal (grey for 1.5mm², blue for 2.8mm²) onto each terminated wire, ensuring it is positioned correctly over the terminal.
- Insert each wire with its terminal and seal into the corresponding cavity of the 16-pin connector housing. Ensure they click into place.
Compatibility:
This connector is designed for commercial vehicle and off-road vehicle applications. It is compatible with other Connect HDSCS connectors within the same series (see Product Information for other part numbers).
Care:
To maintain optimal performance, periodically inspect the connector for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections. Ensure seals remain intact and properly seated. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary; avoid harsh solvents.
