Deutsch Autosport AS 8-Way Plug — Pin (Male) — Green Key (D)
The Deutsch Autosport AS 8-Way Plug Pin (Male) Connector with Green (D) Keying Insert — SKU: AS616-08PD is a professional MIL-spec-grade motorsport connector for 8-circuit ECU sub-connector interfaces and sensor cluster harness joins. Configured as a free-hanging cable-mounted plug connector — this connector is a free, cable-mounted plug half that mates with a fixed panel-mount, flange, or inline receptacle. 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. 8-way suits ecu auxiliary sub-connectors, sensor cluster harness joins, and compact motorsport circuit separable points. The 8-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.
Plug Configuration — Free-hanging cable plug — mates with the fixed receptacle or flange half
The plug configuration is a free, cable-mounted connector half that mates with a fixed inline or flange-mount receptacle. The plug is the movable half — disconnected and carried with the removable component or harness section when the connector is unmated.
Contact Type — Pin (Male)
This listing is for the pin (pin) half of the 8-way pair. It mates with the corresponding socket 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.
Green Key (D) — Mis-Mate Prevention
This connector is fitted with a Green (D) keying insert — the fourth keying position — used on harnesses requiring four uniquely-keyed connectors of the same circuit count, typically found in full race car loom builds with multiple separable joins. The physical keying tab prevents mating with any other AS 8-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.
