Deutsch Autosport AS 79-Way Inline — Socket (Female) — Red Key (N)
The Deutsch Autosport AS 79-Way Inline Socket (Female) Connector with Red (N) Keying Insert — SKU: AS120-35SN is a professional MIL-spec-grade motorsport connector for near-maximum-density full race car loom separable joins and primary ECU main harness interfaces in race cars and performance vehicles across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. This socket half is the receptacle side — the gold-plated socket terminals receive the incoming pin contacts from the corresponding pin (pin) half, completing all 79 circuit connections when the connector is engaged and locked. Configured as an inline connector — in-line harness separable join — both halves are free, cable-mounted connectors within the wire run.
Deutsch Autosport AS — 79-circuit Inline Connector
The Deutsch AS series is the standard Autosport circular connector format for professional motorsport — providing the 79-circuit capacity required for this application in a robust aluminium alloy shell with push-pull positive locking, gold-plated contacts, and full MIL-spec environmental sealing for race-condition reliability. One of the highest circuit counts in the as inline range — used where the complete ecu harness, pdm wiring, and ancillary circuits must cross a single inline connector interface in a full professional race car loom build. The 79-circuit AS inline is specified for the most complex full race car loom separable joins — where virtually the entire vehicle electrical system must be separated at a single inline connector point, such as engine bay to chassis harness splits in purpose-built race cars.
Red Key (N) — The standard non-keyed (neutral) position in the deutsch as system
As the standard non-keyed (neutral) position in the Deutsch AS system, the Red N (neutral/non-keyed) option is the correct choice when only a single 79-way AS inline connector is used at this separation point on the harness — and no mis-mate risk exists between multiple same-size connectors. Red N is the neutral (non-keyed) option — an N-keyed connector will mate with any other N-keyed connector of the same circuit count regardless of which specific N-keyed half it is. Red N is the correct choice for single-connector applications where only one AS connector of this circuit count is used on the harness, or where a specific mis-mate prevention requirement does not exist. Red N-keyed 79-way inline connectors are widely used on race car harness builds where a single high-circuit-count connector handles the full harness separation at a given point, with no adjacent same-size connector that could be accidentally cross-mated.
Contact Type — Socket (Female)
This listing is for the socket half of the 79-way AS inline pair — the receptacle contact half — the socket terminals receive and make contact with the incoming pin terminals when the connector is mated, completing the electrical circuit across the separable join. The corresponding pin half of the same circuit count and key colour is required to complete the mated connector pair. AS contacts are ordered separately — select the correct contact part number for your wire gauge and current requirements.
