ASU003-98PB-HE

Deutsch Autosport ASU (Ultra-Miniature) Series — 10-Way Flange Pin (Male)

The Deutsch Autosport ASU 10-Way Flange Pin (Male) — Blue Key (B) — SKU: ASU003-98PB-HE is a genuine MIL-spec-grade panel-mounted connector for 10-circuit ECU sub-harness, sensor bus, and PDM output separable joins in professional race cars, rally, hillclimb, and high-performance builds across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. This is the pin half of the mated pair — Socket (Female) must be ordered separately to complete the join.

Shell and Circuit Count — ASU003, 10-Way

The ASU series is the smallest-format circular connector in the Deutsch Autosport family, designed for ultra-compact sensor sub-assemblies, low-channel signal interfaces, and weight-critical race car loom builds where the standard AS or ASX body is too large. The ASU003 is the ASU003 — ultra-miniature flange-mount shell for panel and bulkhead installations. At 10 circuits, this connector is suited to 10-circuit ECU sub-harness, sensor bus, and PDM output separable joins. Common applications include ECU auxiliary sub-connector separation points, 10-channel sensor bus interfaces, PDM auxiliary output bundles, and combined signal and power sub-harness joins.

Blue Key (B) — Mis-Mate Protection

Blue B is the second key assignment, used when two parallel 10-circuit ASU flange bundles share the same separation point. Once Yellow A is allocated to the primary bundle, Blue B identifies the secondary — physically preventing cross-mating between the two pairs. Mis-mate protection is mechanical and holds regardless of time pressure or connector volume. Blue B and Yellow A are the standard two-key pairing used by harness builders across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.

Flange Mount — Panel and Bulkhead Installation

The flange connector mounts through a panel cutout via its integral aluminium flange — fixing one half permanently to the chassis, firewall, or bulkhead. The mating cable-mounted half plugs directly into the fixed half, creating a precise, repeatable separable interface at the panel itself. This is the standard for primary chassis separation points, engine bay to cabin firewall joins, and fixed bulkhead interfaces. Flange connectors are the professional choice for motorsport workshops across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
