Deutsch Autosport AS 10-Way Inline — Socket (Female) — Green Key (D)
The Deutsch Autosport AS 10-Way Inline Socket (Female) Connector with Green (D) Keying Insert — SKU: AS112-98SD is a professional MIL-spec-grade Deutsch Autosport AS series inline connector for ECU auxiliary sub-connector interfaces, multi-sensor harness separable joins, and compact motorsport loom separable points in race cars and high-performance vehicles across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Configured as an inline separable join — both halves are free, cable-mounted connectors within the wire run, creating a separable interface at any intermediate point in the harness without requiring a panel or bulkhead mounting point.
Deutsch Autosport AS 10-Way — Series Design and Circuit Count
The Deutsch Autosport AS series is the standard circular connector format for professional motorsport wiring — featuring an aluminium alloy shell machined to MIL-spec tolerances, gold-plated contact interfaces for low-resistance long-term electrical performance, and a positive push-pull locking mechanism that stays secure under sustained race vibration and rapid connector cycling at service intervals. The 10-way AS inline fits between the compact 8-way and the more common 12-way in circuit density — used for ECU auxiliary interfaces, multi-sensor harness separable joins, and motorsport loom separation points where a single connector is preferred over two smaller ones. The 10-way shell provides additional circuit capacity over the 8-way while remaining compact — suited for auxiliary ecu and pdm sub-circuit harness separable joins.
Socket (Female) — 10-Circuit Contact Array
This listing is the socket half of the 10-way AS inline pair. Ten socket contacts receive ten incoming pin contacts — each completing one of the ten circuits across the ECU auxiliary sub-connector or multi-sensor harness separable join when the lock is engaged. The corresponding pin half of the same circuit count and key colour is required to complete the mated connector pair — both halves must be ordered to form a functional inline separable join. AS contacts are ordered separately; select the correct contact part number for your wire gauge and current requirements.
Green Key (D) — The fourth keying position in the deutsch as system
Green D is the fourth and final colour in the Deutsch AS keying system — assigned to the fourth 10-circuit AS inline connector pair when a harness separation point carries four parallel bundles of 10 circuits each. With Yellow A, Blue B, Orange C, and Green D all assigned at the same separation point, four physically identical 10-way AS inline connectors can be fully separated and reconnected without any possibility of cross-mating — regardless of how quickly or under what conditions the reconnection takes place. This four-key arrangement is reserved for the most elaborate full race car loom builds in professional motorsport across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, where maximum circuit density at a single separation point drives the use of four parallel high-circuit-count connector pairs.
Inline Configuration — Flexible Harness Separation Without a Fixed Mount
The AS inline configuration places the separable join within the harness run itself — neither connector half is fixed to a panel or chassis surface. This makes it the preferred choice for engine-to-chassis harness separation points, subframe and removable component harness joins, and any separable interface along the wire run where flexible placement is required. The inline format is widely used across professional race car loom builds in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark for its placement flexibility and its clean, balanced appearance when both halves are routed through the same harness trunk or loom sleeve.
