Deutsch Autosport AS108 — 6-Way Inline Pin (Male) — Orange Key (C)
The Deutsch Autosport 6-Way Inline Pin (Male) Connector — Orange Key (C) — SKU: AS108-35PC is a genuine MIL-spec-grade Deutsch Autosport AS series cable-mounted connector built for 6-circuit sensor cluster and actuator bundle 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.
AS108 Shell — Series Architecture and Circuit Density
The AS108 is one of the smallest circular inline shells in the Deutsch Autosport AS range — designed for minimal-footprint separable joins on compact sub-harness runs, sensor feeds, and single-actuator circuits. Despite its very small body, the AS108 delivers the same MIL-spec aluminium alloy shell, gold-plated contacts, and positive push-pull locking as every larger AS series shell. The 6-circuit configuration in the AS108 shell is suited to 6-circuit sensor cluster and actuator bundle separable joins. Typical applications at this circuit count include 6-wire sensor clusters, combined power and signal sub-harness joins, dual coil-on-plug group sub-connectors, throttle body and actuator bundles with redundant circuits, and auxiliary relay output groupings. The 6-way inline is a compact but versatile circuit count spanning both the AS108 and AS110 shell sizes depending on contact configuration requirements.
Pin (Male) — 6-Circuit Contact Array
This listing supplies the pin half of the 6-way AS inline connector pair — gold-plated pin contacts 6 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 6-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 6-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 6-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 6-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.
