W6S DT Series Wedgelock, 6-Way, Orange — BOLTON SKU 59310.
About the W6S DT Series Wedgelock 6-Way Orange
The W6S DT Series technical component is the six-way wedgelock in the DEUTSCH DT range, supplied in orange. Within DT wedgelock numbering the leading digit gives the cavity count and the S indicates the wedgelock for socket-contact plug housings, so this item pairs with a six-position DT06 plug such as the DT06-6S. TE describes DT wedgelocks as a required component for all DEUTSCH DT housings: the wedgelock is assembled at the mating interface and pressed into place once the contacts are loaded, holding them in alignment and providing secondary retention. On a six-cavity housing that function carries more weight than on a two-way, because a single partially seated contact among six is easy to miss by feel and will show itself instead as a wedgelock that refuses to press home.

Typical applications
Six-way wedgelocks are ordered alongside six-way plug housings and socket contacts as a matched set for harness builds, and separately as spares because they are easily mislaid during rework. They belong in the repair kit for any platform that uses six-way DT breakouts between chassis and module harnesses. Workshops carrying out connector re-pinning hold a supply so a contact can be released and re-terminated without replacing the housing.
