Deutsch Autosport AS 13-Way Flange — Socket (Female) — Orange Key (C)
The Deutsch Autosport AS 13-Way Flange Socket (Female) Connector with Orange (C) Keying Insert — SKU: AS010-35SC is a professional MIL-spec-grade Deutsch Autosport AS series connector for 13-circuit ECU sub-harness joins and mid-range motorsport harness separable points in race cars and high-performance vehicles across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. As a flange connector, the 13-way AS creates a fixed 13-circuit panel interface for bulkhead separation points where 12 circuits are one short.
Deutsch Autosport AS 13-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 13-way AS provides a 13-circuit separable interface — used where the 12-way circuit count is marginally insufficient and the step to the 16-way would be over-specified for the application.
Socket (Female) — 13-Circuit Contact Array
This listing is the socket half of the 13-way AS flange pair. Thirteen socket contacts receive thirteen incoming pin contacts — the receptacle half completing the precise 13-circuit array of this mid-range motorsport harness separable join. 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.
Orange Key (C) — Keying Position and Mis-Mate Prevention
Orange C is the third key assignment for a flange separation point carrying three parallel 13-circuit bundles. When a panel carries multiple 13-circuit AS flange connectors — for example, a bulkhead with two parallel 13-circuit flange mounts for separate cable bundles — keying ensures each harness plug half can only mate with its own correct flange counterpart, preventing cross-mating errors during harness assembly and servicing. With Yellow A, Blue B, and Orange C assigned across three pairs, complete mis-mate protection is provided for all three 13-circuit AS flange pairs at this separation point — essential for the most complex full race car loom builds in Scandinavia.
Flange Configuration — Panel-Mounted Fixed Connector Point
The AS flange configuration mounts permanently to a chassis panel, bulkhead, or firewall using the integrated flange holes — creating a fixed, chassis-anchored 13-circuit connector point that the harness cable-side plug half mates into from the wiring loom side. Flange connectors are specified at all harness separation points that align with a structural chassis surface — engine bay-to-chassis bulkheads, firewall primary harness separation points, and chassis rail panel interfaces.
Once bolted to the mounting surface, the AS flange connector remains in position throughout the vehicle’s race service life — the harness plug is mated and unmated repeatedly for component installation, removal, and servicing without disturbing the chassis-side flange. The 13-circuit AS flange provides the fixed connection point that makes systematic, repeatable harness separation possible at this chassis location on race cars and performance vehicles throughout Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
