Deutsch Autosport AS112 — 4-Way Inline Pin (Male) — Orange Key (C)
The Deutsch Autosport 4-Way Inline Pin (Male) Connector — Orange Key (C) — SKU: AS112-04PC is a genuine MIL-spec-grade Deutsch Autosport AS series cable-mounted connector built for compact 4-circuit sensor, switch, ignition coil, and actuator sub-harness separable joins in professional race cars, hillclimb, rally, and high-performance builds across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Configured as a free-hanging inline separable join, this connector is both halves floating freely within the wire run without any panel fixing requirement — delivering a clean, reliable, mechanically keyed separable interface at the harness separation point.
AS112 Shell — Series Architecture and Circuit Density
The AS112 is the most widely used compact inline shell in the Deutsch Autosport AS range — carrying circuit counts from 4 ways upward in a compact, cable-mounted inline body. The AS112 combines MIL-spec aluminium alloy shell construction, gold-plated contacts, and positive push-pull locking in the standard compact inline shell size preferred for sub-harness separable joins across a wide variety of race car and high-performance vehicle loom builds. The 4-circuit configuration in the AS112 shell is suited to compact 4-circuit sensor, switch, ignition coil, and actuator sub-harness separable joins. Typical applications at this circuit count include individual ignition coil sub-connectors, 4-wire sensor assemblies, auxiliary switch circuit separable points, and small actuator interface connectors. The 4-way inline is the smallest standard circuit count in the AS112 shell — prioritising minimal connector size and weight over circuit density.
Pin (Male) — 4-Circuit Contact Array
This listing supplies the pin half of the 4-way AS inline connector pair — gold-plated pin contacts 4 in total — carrying each circuit across the free-hanging inline separation point. To form a complete functional connector pair, the matching Socket (Female) half of the same circuit count, shell size, and key colour must be ordered separately; both halves are required to create a mated, functional separable join. AS series contacts are ordered independently of the connector shells — select the correct contact part number for your wire gauge, current rating, and preferred termination method.
Orange Key (C) — Keying Position and Mis-Mate Protection
Orange C is the third key position, assigned to the third 4-circuit AS inline bundle at a separation point where three parallel connector pairs are required. With Yellow A on the first bundle and Blue B on the second, Orange C completes the three-connector mis-mate protection scheme — preventing any of the three 4-circuit pairs from being accidentally cross-mated during reconnection. Three-connector keying arrangements appear in complex loom builds where the combined circuit count at a single split demands three independent 4-circuit groups running in parallel. Professional harness builders working on high-complexity race car looms in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark reach for Orange C when a third 4-circuit AS inline pair is required at the same separation point alongside Yellow A and Blue B.
Inline Configuration — Flexible Harness Placement Without Panel Mounting
The AS inline connector places the separable join within the harness run itself — neither half is fixed to a chassis panel, firewall, or bulkhead surface. Both halves are cable-mounted and the mated join floats freely within the loom, held in position by the surrounding harness sleeve, loom tape, or tie-wrap points. This configuration is the professional standard for engine-to-chassis harness separation points, removable subframe and suspension cradle sub-harness joins, and any separable interface along the wire run where mounting flexibility and positioning freedom are required over a fixed panel location. The inline format is widely used across race car loom builds wherever a harness needs to be separable at a point that does not coincide with a chassis panel or bulkhead. Inline AS connectors are used as the default harness separation format by motorsport wiring specialists and race car builders across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark — giving clean, serviceable loom splits at any point along the harness run without committing to a fixed panel location.
