Description
The DEUTSCH M36-18-20PN is a 20-way HD30 plug connector-half kit built around the genuine HD36-18-20PN housing. It supplies pin contacts for crimp termination and normal seals for a serviceable circular connection on compatible vehicle, agricultural, off-highway and industrial wiring.
This is one connector half, not a full mating pair. The matching receptacle must be ordered separately. Plug/receptacle describes the housing style; pin/socket describes the contact type.

Contact Selection
- Size 16: 0460-215-16141, 14 AWG; rated up to 13 A per contact under the manufacturer’s specified conditions
- Size 20: 0460-202-20141, 20 AWG; rated up to 7.5 A per contact under the manufacturer’s specified conditions
Current ratings apply to individual contacts, not the combined connector. Conductor size, temperature, circuit loading and installation affect allowable current. The wire conductor must fit the contact and its insulation must fit the housing seal; these are separate checks.
Compatibility & Installation
Match the opposite housing style, shell size, cavity arrangement and complementary pin/socket contacts. Check keying, any modification suffix and the wire-seal requirements against the manufacturer documentation. N, T and E seal variants are not interchangeable wire-size specifications.
Crimp using tooling suitable for the supplied contacts, insert from the rear and check retention. Close unused cavities with the correct sealing blanks. Follow the HD30 assembly instructions before mating and locking the bayonet coupling. Wire, crimping tools, backshells, dust caps and the mating connector half are not included. Mounting hardware is not included.
