Update....
I found out at SEMA 2013 that Delcity.com is selling a knockoff Deutsch connector that is waaaayyy cheaper than I've been able to find the originals. Beyond having green wedges instead of the traditional orange they look and function just like the originals. Delcity is limited on their selection- no flange mounts, no bulkheads... but maybe those are in the works.

They have the easiest and most complete reference to Deutch connectors I've found anywhere! I've been trying to find Deutch firewall bulkheads with 50+ pins and can find plugs here and there but not the flanged recepticles, or I will find partial descriptions without pictures to verify that is what I am really looking for. The reference on LADDinc has them right in the catalog pages and a breakdown on the part numbers to decode with!! Thanks again Heep!!
PS...Tonight while researching part numbers for the bulkheads I've been looking for I found
www.wirecare.com that appears to sell the full line of Deutsch connectors from 2 pin up to 100+ pin bulkheads. I ordered a set of 60 pin connectors, mounting flanges, wedges, and wiring boot for a current project! I will update when they show.
PPS... I was sitting down entering my Delcity generic Deutsch connector order into QuickBooks and did a head to head price comparison... here are just a couple from my order showing the difference. The previous prices on true Deutsch connectors in my QB were from Battsracing.com where I was ordering from previously.
Prices include wedges- Batts racing comes with pins/sockets where Delcity they are ordered separately. All AT series... 12 pin Receptacle- Batts Racing $22.68 Delcity $4.63 3 Pin Plug Batts Racing $7.10 Del City $1.40 3 Pin Receptacle Batts Racing $5.99 Del City $1.36 6 Pin Plug Batts Racing $12.11 DelCity $3.16 6 Pin Receptacle Batts Racing $7.08 Delcity $2.08.
Huge difference in price for a product that so far has proven to be comparable... hope this helps someone else!
