Deutsch Autosport AS018 — 66-Way Flange Socket (Female) — Green Key (D)
The Deutsch Autosport 66-Way Flange Socket (Female) Connector — Green Key (D) — SKU: AS018-35SD is a genuine MIL-spec-grade Deutsch Autosport AS series panel-mounted connector built for 66-circuit maximum-density vehicle loom separation points on the most complex professional race car builds in professional race cars, hillclimb, rally, and high-performance builds across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Configured as a flange-mount (panel/bulkhead) separable join, this connector is fixed to a chassis panel, firewall, or bulkhead surface via its integral mounting flange — delivering a clean, reliable, mechanically keyed separable interface at the harness separation point.
AS018 Shell — Series Architecture and Circuit Density
The AS018 is a large circular flange-mount shell supporting circuit counts from 32 to 66 ways — suited to primary vehicle loom bulkhead separation points and consolidated ECU and PDM harness interfaces on complex full race car builds. The AS018 shell provides MIL-spec aluminium alloy construction, gold-plated contacts, and positive push-pull locking at high circuit densities. The 66-circuit configuration in the AS018 shell is suited to 66-circuit maximum-density vehicle loom separation points on the most complex professional race car builds. Typical applications at this circuit count include full vehicle primary loom separation joins in the AS018 shell, maximum circuit consolidation at engine-to-chassis bulkheads, combined ECU, PDM, and sensor bus separation at a single harness split point. The 66-way flange is the highest circuit count in the AS018 shell and one of the largest standard circuit counts in the entire Deutsch Autosport AS range.
Socket (Female) — 66-Circuit Contact Array
This listing supplies the socket half of the 66-way AS flange connector pair — gold-plated socket contacts 66 in total — receiving the incoming pin contacts from the mating half and completing each circuit across the flange-mount (panel/bulkhead) separation point. To form a complete functional connector pair, the matching Pin (Male) 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.
Green Key (D) — Keying Position and Mis-Mate Protection
Green D is the fourth and final standard key colour in the Deutsch Autosport AS keying system — reserved for the fourth 66-circuit AS flange bundle when maximum circuit density at a single separation point demands four parallel pairs. With Yellow A, Blue B, and Orange C already assigned to the first three bundles, Green D completes a four-key, fully protected connector arrangement. No pair can be mated to any other, regardless of how quickly the reconnection must be made. This four-key arrangement represents the maximum mis-mate protection achievable at a single separation point in the AS system. The full four-key scheme — Yellow A, Blue B, Orange C, Green D — is used by professional motorsport loom builders across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark only on the most complex full race car builds where four parallel 66-circuit AS flange bundles are required at the same separation point.
Flange Configuration — Panel and Bulkhead Mounting
The AS flange connector mounts through a panel cutout using its integral aluminium mounting flange — fixing one half of the connector pair permanently to the chassis, firewall, or bulkhead surface. The mating free half (the cable-mounted opposite half) plugs directly into the panel-mounted half, creating a secure separable interface at the bulkhead itself. This configuration is used wherever the harness must separate cleanly at a fixed chassis point — engine bay to cabin firewall, removable subframe to chassis, fuel cell bay to main loom, or any other fixed panel location where one side of the harness needs a permanent, precision-located connection point. Flange connectors are the professional standard for primary chassis separation points in full race car loom builds. Flange-mount AS connectors are the standard choice for primary chassis and bulkhead separation points on race cars and high-performance vehicles built and maintained by loom specialists and motorsport workshops across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
