Deutsch Autosport AS 2-Way Flange — Socket (Female) — Yellow Key (A)
The Deutsch Autosport AS 2-Way Flange Socket (Female) Connector with Yellow (A) Keying Insert — SKU: AS010-02SA is a professional MIL-spec-grade Deutsch Autosport AS series connector for 2-circuit compact sensor, switch, and single-actuator harness separable joins in race cars and high-performance vehicles across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. As a flange connector, the 2-way AS mounts permanently to a panel or bulkhead — providing a fixed 2-circuit interface point for sensor and switch wiring on the vehicle structure.
Deutsch Autosport AS 2-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 2-way AS is the most compact circuit count in the series — used for simple 2-wire sensor connections, on/off switch interfaces, and minimal-circuit separable joins where a secure, vibration-resistant connector is required in a minimal-footprint format.
Socket (Female) — 2-Circuit Contact Array
This listing is the socket half of the 2-way AS flange pair. Two gold-plated socket contacts receive both incoming pin contacts — the receptacle half completing the 2-circuit electrical path across this compact 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.
Yellow Key (A) — Keying Position and Mis-Mate Prevention
Yellow A is the first key assigned in any AS flange harness keying plan. When a panel carries multiple 2-circuit AS flange connectors — for example, a bulkhead with two parallel 2-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. The Yellow A key tab on this flange half ensures it accepts only a matching Yellow A-keyed mating half — making it the primary connector in any multi-pair 2-circuit AS flange arrangement. Professional harness builders across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark standardise on Yellow A as the primary key for consistency across multiple builds.
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 2-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 2-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.
