Deutsch Autosport AS 22-Way Plug — Pin (Male) — Yellow Key (A)

The Deutsch Autosport AS 22-Way Plug Pin (Male) Connector with Yellow (A) Keying Insert — SKU: AS612-35PA is a professional MIL-spec-grade motorsport connector for 22-circuit medium-complexity ECU and PDM harness separable joins. Configured as a free-hanging cable-mounted plug connector — this connector is a free, cable-mounted plug half that mates with a fixed panel-mount, flange, or inline receptacle. Designed for use in demanding race car, rally, and high-performance vehicle wiring harnesses across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.

Deutsch Autosport AS — Shell Design and Build Quality

The Deutsch AS series is the standard Autosport circular connector format for professional motorsport wiring — larger than the AS Mini, providing higher circuit counts in a robust aluminium alloy shell with push-pull positive locking, gold-plated contacts, and full environmental sealing for race-condition reliability. 22-way provides a high circuit count in a mid-size shell — used for ecu sub-harness connectors and pdm input/output circuit joins in professional motorsport builds. The 22-way AS is specified by professional race teams, ECU harness fabricators, and motorsport engineers for applications where a compact, high-integrity, serviceable separable connector is required at a harness split point.

Plug Configuration — Free-hanging cable plug — mates with the fixed receptacle or flange half

The plug configuration is a free, cable-mounted connector half that mates with a fixed inline or flange-mount receptacle. The plug is the movable half — disconnected and carried with the removable component or harness section when the connector is unmated.

Contact Type — Pin (Male)

This listing is for the pin (pin) half of the 22-way pair. It mates with the corresponding socket half of the same circuit count and key colour. Both halves are required to form a complete mated connector pair. AS contacts are ordered separately — select the correct contact part number for your wire gauge.

Yellow Key (A) — Mis-Mate Prevention

This connector is fitted with a Yellow (A) keying insert — the first standard keying position — Yellow A is the most widely specified starting key when multiple same-circuit-count connectors appear on a single harness, ensuring each connector pair can only mate with its correct counterpart. The physical keying tab prevents mating with any other AS 22-way connector carrying a different key colour — eliminating incorrect connection errors during installation or servicing of complex race car electrical systems in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
