Deutsch Autosport AS 55-Way Inline — Socket (Female) — Red Key (N)

The Deutsch Autosport AS 55-Way Inline Socket (Female) Connector with Red (N) Keying Insert — SKU: AS116-35SN is a professional MIL-spec-grade motorsport connector for 55-circuit high-density ECU main harness connectors and full PDM wiring system interfaces. Configured as a in-line harness separable connector — this connector creates a separable join within the harness run — both halves are cable-mounted, allowing the harness to be split at any point along its run without a fixed panel or bulkhead mount. 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. 55-way provides very high circuit density for main ecu harness separable joins and complex multi-circuit motorsport loom interfaces. The 55-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.

Inline Configuration — Inline separable join — both halves are free, cable-mounted connectors

The inline configuration is chosen for harness separation points within the wire run — away from any panel or bulkhead surface. Both inline connector halves are free and cable-mounted, allowing the harness to be split cleanly at any intermediate point such as engine bay to chassis joins, subframe separable points, and removable component harness connections.

Contact Type — Socket (Female)

This listing is for the socket (socket) half of the 55-way pair. It mates with the corresponding pin 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.

Red Key (N) — Mis-Mate Prevention

This connector is fitted with a Red (N) keying insert — the standard non-keyed (neutral) option — Red N-keyed connectors do not prevent mating with other N-keyed connectors of the same size, suitable for single-connector applications or where mis-mate prevention between same-size connectors is not required. The physical keying tab prevents mating with any other AS 55-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.
