Deutsch Autosport AS024 — 128-Way Flange Socket (Female) — Red Key (N)
The Deutsch Autosport 128-Way Flange Socket (Female) Connector — Red Key (N) — SKU: AS024-35SN is a genuine MIL-spec-grade Deutsch Autosport AS series panel-mounted connector built for 128-circuit absolute-maximum-density primary loom separation points across the entire Deutsch Autosport AS range in professional race cars, hillclimb, rally, and high-performance builds across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Configured as a flange-mount (panel/bulkhead) separable join, this connector is fixed to a chassis panel, firewall, or bulkhead surface via its integral mounting flange — delivering a clean, reliable, mechanically keyed separable interface at the harness separation point.
AS024 Shell — Series Architecture and Circuit Density
The AS024 is the largest standard flange-mount shell in the Deutsch Autosport AS series — supporting circuit counts from 29 to 128 ways and delivering the absolute maximum circuit consolidation achievable in a single AS series panel-mount connector pair. The AS024 is reserved for the most demanding full race car loom builds where consolidating the greatest possible circuit count at a single bulkhead separation point is the primary wiring design objective. The 128-circuit configuration in the AS024 shell is suited to 128-circuit absolute-maximum-density primary loom separation points across the entire Deutsch Autosport AS range. Typical applications at this circuit count include full vehicle primary loom engine-to-chassis separation joins at the maximum circuit density achievable in the AS024 shell, combined ECU, PDM, sensor bus, and full power distribution consolidation at a single separation point. The 128-way flange is the largest standard circuit count available in the entire Deutsch Autosport AS series — consolidating up to 128 circuits into a single mated pair.
Socket (Female) — 128-Circuit Contact Array
This listing supplies the socket half of the 128-way AS flange connector pair — gold-plated socket contacts 128 in total — receiving the incoming pin contacts from the mating half and completing each circuit across the flange-mount (panel/bulkhead) separation point. To form a complete functional connector pair, the matching Pin (Male) half of the same circuit count, shell size, and key colour must be ordered separately; both halves are required to create a mated, functional separable join. AS series contacts are ordered independently of the connector shells — select the correct contact part number for your wire gauge, current rating, and preferred termination method.
Red Key (N) — Keying Position and Mis-Mate Protection
Red N is the non-keyed (neutral) insert in the Deutsch Autosport AS system. Unlike the A, B, C, and D colour keys which enforce strict connector-to-connector mating relationships, Red N allows a 128-circuit AS flange half to mate with any counterpart of the same circuit count and shell size regardless of key colour. This makes Red N the correct choice for service tools, test harness jumpers, PDI connectors, and any application where a fixed mating relationship between two specific connector halves is deliberately not required. Red N provides connection flexibility rather than mis-mate restriction — and is selected by experienced harness builders precisely when that flexibility is needed. Red N inserts are used by Scandinavian race teams, wiring specialists, and motorsport workshops across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark for service tools, test connectors, and intentionally flexible interface points where strict directional keying is not required.
Flange Configuration — Panel and Bulkhead Mounting
The AS flange connector mounts through a panel cutout using its integral aluminium mounting flange — fixing one half of the connector pair permanently to the chassis, firewall, or bulkhead surface. The mating free half (the cable-mounted opposite half) plugs directly into the panel-mounted half, creating a secure separable interface at the bulkhead itself. This configuration is used wherever the harness must separate cleanly at a fixed chassis point — engine bay to cabin firewall, removable subframe to chassis, fuel cell bay to main loom, or any other fixed panel location where one side of the harness needs a permanent, precision-located connection point. Flange connectors are the professional standard for primary chassis separation points in full race car loom builds. Flange-mount AS connectors are the standard choice for primary chassis and bulkhead separation points on race cars and high-performance vehicles built and maintained by loom specialists and motorsport workshops across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
