Deutsch Autosport AS 100-Way Plug — Socket (Female) — Blue Key (B)

The Deutsch Autosport AS 100-Way Plug Socket (Female) Connector with Blue (B) Keying Insert — SKU: AS622-35PB is a professional MIL-spec-grade Deutsch Autosport AS series connector for ultra-high-density full race car loom separable joins and complete vehicle harness interfaces in race cars and high-performance vehicles across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. As a plug connector, the 100-way AS is an ultra-high-density free plug half — used only on the most complex professional and factory-level race car loom builds where up to 100 circuits must cross a single separable plug interface.

Deutsch Autosport AS 100-Way — Series Design and Circuit Application

The Deutsch Autosport AS series is the professional standard circular connector format for motorsport wiring — featuring an aluminium alloy shell machined to MIL-spec tolerances, gold-plated contact interfaces for consistent low-resistance electrical performance across the connector’s service life, and a positive push-pull locking mechanism that holds secure under sustained race vibration and rapid connector cycling at service intervals. The 100-way AS delivers ultra-high circuit density — specified for the most complex full vehicle harness separable joins in professional and factory-level motorsport builds where a single connector must carry the complete vehicle electrical circuit count.

Socket (Female) — 100-Circuit Contact Array

This listing is the socket half of the 100-way AS plug pair. One hundred socket contacts receive one hundred incoming pin contacts simultaneously — the ultra-high-density receptacle half for complete vehicle harness separable joins in professional motorsport. 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 separable join. AS contacts are ordered separately; select the correct contact part number for your wire gauge and current requirements.

Blue Key (B) — Keying Position and Mis-Mate Prevention

Blue B is the second key assignment once Yellow A has been allocated to the first 100-circuit AS plug pair. When a harness includes multiple 100-circuit AS plug connectors at the same separation point — for example, where two parallel 100-circuit cable bundles each have their own plug connector mating into a fixed receptacle panel — keying ensures each plug can only connect to its own correct receptacle, preventing cross-connection during harness assembly and race event connector operations. With Yellow A on the first pair and Blue B on the second, neither pair can be accidentally cross-mated — regardless of how quickly connectors are operated under race event time pressure in Norway, Sweden, or Denmark.

Plug Configuration — The Movable, Cable-Mounted Connector Half

The AS plug configuration is a free, cable-mounted connector half — it does not mount to a panel or chassis surface. Instead, the plug is the movable, harness-side half that disconnects from a fixed receptacle (either a flange-mounted panel connector or a corresponding inline half) to allow component removal, harness separation, and servicing. The plug carries the cable bundle from the removable component or sub-harness and mates into the fixed chassis-side or loom-side receptacle when the system is assembled.

The 100-way AS plug is used for ultra-high-density full race car loom and complete vehicle harness removable joins in race cars and performance vehicles across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. The plug format is specified wherever one connector half must be freely movable — for example, at engine removal points where the engine-side harness plug disconnects from the chassis-side flange, at removable dashboard assemblies where the instrument harness plug mates into a fixed bulkhead connector, and at any harness separation point where the plug side follows a removable component when it is extracted from the vehicle.

Unlike flange or inline connectors that create a two-sided free connection, the AS plug is always the movable half in a plug-to-receptacle pair — providing the connector architecture needed for clean, repeatable component removal and installation across the race service life of the vehicle.
