Deutsch Autosport ASU (Ultra-Miniature) Series — 3-Way Plug Socket (Female)
The Deutsch Autosport ASU 3-Way Plug Socket (Female) — Orange Key (C) — SKU: ASU603-03SC-HE is a genuine MIL-spec-grade cable-mounted plug connector for 3-circuit sensor, actuator, and switch sub-harness separable joins in professional race cars, rally, hillclimb, and high-performance builds across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. This is the socket half of the mated pair — Pin (Male) must be ordered separately to complete the join.
Shell and Circuit Count — ASU603, 3-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 ASU603 is the ASU603 — ultra-miniature plug (free cable-mounted half) of the ASU connector pair. At 3 circuits, this connector is suited to 3-circuit sensor, actuator, and switch sub-harness separable joins. Common applications include 3-wire sensor assemblies (MAP, TPS, CLT, IAT), individual coil-on-plug sub-connectors, 3-wire actuator feeds, and small auxiliary circuit groupings.
Orange Key (C) — Mis-Mate Protection
Orange C is the third key position, assigned when three parallel 3-circuit ASU plug bundles run through the same separation point. With Yellow A on the first bundle and Blue B on the second, Orange C prevents the third from being cross-mated to either. This three-connector keying scheme is used on complex loom builds requiring multiple parallel 3-circuit groups at a single split. It is a standard arrangement for professional race car harness builders across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
Plug Half — Free Cable-Mounted Connector
The plug is the removable, cable-mounted half of the connector pair — the half the technician handles and disconnects during harness separation. It mates with a fixed socket or flange-mount body to complete the separable interface. The push-pull locking collar engages with the fixed socket, creating a positive, vibration-resistant mated connection. Plug halves are supplied by Arctic Performance Parts to harness builders and race teams across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
