Deutsch Autosport AS 32-Way Inline — Socket (Female) — Red Key (N)

The Deutsch Autosport AS 32-Way Inline Socket (Female) Connector with Red (N) Keying Insert — SKU: AS118-32SN 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.

Socket (Female) — 32-Circuit Contact Array

This listing is the socket half of the 32-way AS inline pair. Thirty-two socket contacts receive thirty-two individual pin contacts — the receptacle half completing each of the thirty-two circuits across this high-density inline 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 inline separable join. AS contacts are ordered separately; select the correct contact part number for your wire gauge and current requirements.

Red Key (N) — The neutral (non-keyed) position in the deutsch as system

Red N is the correct keying choice when only a single 32-circuit AS inline connector is used at this separation point on the harness — where no adjacent same-size connector exists to create a mis-mate risk. An N-keyed connector will mate with any other N-keyed half of the same circuit count, making it the straightforward default for single-connector 32-circuit inline joins. Red N is also commonly used on initial harness prototype builds before the final keying strategy is defined, and on race car looms where the circuit separation plan results in each AS connector being a unique circuit count — eliminating any possibility of mis-mating by design rather than by keying. Harness builders across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark routinely specify Red N for standalone 32-way AS inline joins where keyed mis-mate prevention is not required.

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.
