Deutsch Autosport ASU (Ultra-Miniature) Series — 5-Way Inline Socket (Female)
The Deutsch Autosport ASU 5-Way Inline Socket (Female) — Orange Key (C) — SKU: ASU103-05SC-HE is a genuine MIL-spec-grade cable-mounted connector for 5-circuit sensor cluster and actuator bundle 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 — ASU103, 5-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 ASU103 is the ASU103 — ultra-miniature inline shell for free-hanging cable-mounted separable joins. At 5 circuits, this connector is suited to 5-circuit sensor cluster and actuator bundle separable joins. Common applications include 5-wire sensor clusters, combined power/ground/signal interfaces, 5-channel switch pack sub-connectors, and mixed signal and power actuator bundles.
Orange Key (C) — Mis-Mate Protection
Orange C is the third key position, assigned when three parallel 5-circuit ASU inline 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 5-circuit groups at a single split. It is a standard arrangement for professional race car harness builders across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
Inline Configuration — In-Harness Separable Join
The inline connector places both halves within the harness run — neither is fixed to a panel or bulkhead. Both halves are cable-mounted and the mated join floats within the loom, held by harness sleeve or tie-wrap points. This is the standard format for engine-to-chassis harness splits, removable subframe sub-harness joins, and any separable interface along the wire run. Inline connectors are used by motorsport wiring specialists across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark wherever a fixed panel location is not required.
