Deutsch Autosport AS 32-Way Inline — Pin (Male) — Yellow Key (A)

The Deutsch Autosport AS 32-Way Inline Pin (Male) Connector with Yellow (A) Keying Insert — SKU: AS118-32PA is a professional MIL-spec-grade Deutsch Autosport AS series inline connector for high-density ECU sub-harness connectors, primary PDM wiring interfaces, and complex race car loom separable joins in race cars and high-performance vehicles across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Configured as an inline separable join — both halves are free, cable-mounted connectors within the wire run, creating a separable interface at any intermediate point in the harness without requiring a panel or bulkhead mounting point.

Deutsch Autosport AS 32-Way — Series Design and Circuit Count

The Deutsch Autosport AS series is the standard circular connector format for professional motorsport wiring — featuring an aluminium alloy shell machined to MIL-spec tolerances, gold-plated contact interfaces for low-resistance long-term electrical performance, and a positive push-pull locking mechanism that stays secure under sustained race vibration and rapid connector cycling at service intervals. The 32-way AS inline is a high-circuit-count configuration for primary ECU harness sub-joins and PDM main circuit interfaces — used where the 26-way is insufficient and multiple ECU sensor inputs plus PDM output circuits must cross a single separable join to minimise connector count at the separation point. The 32-circuit configuration provides high circuit density for primary ecu and pdm harness separable joins in complex motorsport loom builds.

Pin (Male) — 32-Circuit Contact Array

This listing is the pin half of the 32-way AS inline pair. Thirty-two pin contacts carry thirty-two individual circuits across this high-density inline join — each gold-plated contact maintaining low-resistance electrical continuity across the full service life of the connector. The corresponding socket 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 inline separable join. AS contacts are ordered separately; select the correct contact part number for your wire gauge and current requirements.

Yellow Key (A) — The first keying position in the deutsch as system

Yellow A is universally the first key assigned when a harness design includes multiple 32-circuit AS inline connectors at the same separation point. It identifies the primary connector pair — the first 32-way inline in the harness plan, and typically the one most frequently disconnected and reconnected during race event preparation and servicing. The Yellow A physical key tab ensures this connector half can only mate with its own Yellow A counterpart, regardless of how many other 32-way AS connectors are present nearby. Professional harness builders across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark standardise on Yellow A as the primary key — ensuring consistent keying conventions across multiple builds and making harness identification straightforward for mechanics at events.

Inline Configuration — Flexible Harness Separation Without a Fixed Mount

The AS inline configuration places the separable join within the harness run itself — neither connector half is fixed to a panel or chassis surface. This makes it the preferred choice for engine-to-chassis harness separation points, subframe and removable component harness joins, and any separable interface along the wire run where flexible placement is required. The inline format is widely used across professional race car loom builds in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark for its placement flexibility and its clean, balanced appearance when both halves are routed through the same harness trunk or loom sleeve.
