This is correct. Not having the parts in front of me caused my confusion. I’ve built a lot of wiring harnesses and have quite a selection of Deutsch connectors on hand, and that’s the way I order them. It’s the pins. Here’s one, and the male pin is on the left with its corresponding housing which looks like it’s a female while the female pin on the right with its corresponding housing which looks like a male. The left is called the male connector, right is female. If you look inside an assembled connector, the male has pins that protrude and the female just has holes that the male pins go into.Here’s the vehicle side of the harness.
A connector’s “gender” is determined by the terminals it houses. For example, the connector in my pic above is male because the terminals are male. The factory cluster plug that’s part of the dash harness is female because it houses female terminals.
