Deutsch Autosport AS 6-Way Flange — Socket (Female) — Blue Key (B)
The Deutsch Autosport AS 6-Way Flange Socket (Female) Connector with Blue (B) Keying Insert — SKU: AS010-98SB is a professional MIL-spec-grade Deutsch Autosport AS series connector for 6-circuit sensor cluster joins and compact ECU auxiliary interfaces in race cars and high-performance vehicles across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. As a flange connector, the 6-way AS is panel-mounted to provide a fixed 6-circuit interface for sensor cluster wiring and compact auxiliary circuit connections.
Deutsch Autosport AS 6-Way — Series Design and Circuit Application
The Deutsch Autosport AS series is the professional standard circular connector format for motorsport wiring — featuring an aluminium alloy shell machined to MIL-spec tolerances, gold-plated contact interfaces for consistent low-resistance electrical performance across the connector’s service life, and a positive push-pull locking mechanism that holds secure under sustained race vibration and rapid connector cycling at service intervals. The 6-way AS provides 6 circuits in a compact shell — used for sensor cluster harness joins, ECU auxiliary sub-connectors, and compact motorsport separable points where the 4-way is insufficient and the larger 8-way would be over-specified.
Socket (Female) — 6-Circuit Contact Array
This listing is the socket half of the 6-way AS flange pair. Six socket contacts receive six incoming pin contacts — the receptacle half completing the full 6-circuit array across this compact motorsport 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 separable join. AS contacts are ordered separately; select the correct contact part number for your wire gauge and current requirements.
Blue Key (B) — Keying Position and Mis-Mate Prevention
Blue B is the second key assignment once Yellow A has been allocated to the first 6-circuit AS flange pair. When a panel carries multiple 6-circuit AS flange connectors — for example, a bulkhead with two parallel 6-circuit flange mounts for separate cable bundles — keying ensures each harness plug half can only mate with its own correct flange counterpart, preventing cross-mating errors during harness assembly and servicing. With Yellow A on the first pair and Blue B on the second, neither pair can be accidentally cross-mated — regardless of how quickly connectors are operated under race event time pressure in Norway, Sweden, or Denmark.
Flange Configuration — Panel-Mounted Fixed Connector Point
The AS flange configuration mounts permanently to a chassis panel, bulkhead, or firewall using the integrated flange holes — creating a fixed, chassis-anchored 6-circuit connector point that the harness cable-side plug half mates into from the wiring loom side. Flange connectors are specified at all harness separation points that align with a structural chassis surface — engine bay-to-chassis bulkheads, firewall primary harness separation points, and chassis rail panel interfaces.
Once bolted to the mounting surface, the AS flange connector remains in position throughout the vehicle’s race service life — the harness plug is mated and unmated repeatedly for component installation, removal, and servicing without disturbing the chassis-side flange. The 6-circuit AS flange provides the fixed connection point that makes systematic, repeatable harness separation possible at this chassis location on race cars and performance vehicles throughout Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
