DEUTSCH ASC-ASU SOCKET POSITIONER K1494

Deutsch ASC-ASU Socket Positioner K1494 – Crimp Positioner for Deutsch Autosport Socket Contacts

The Deutsch ASC-ASU Socket Positioner K1494 is a crimp-tool positioner used to correctly locate Deutsch Autosport ASC and ASU series socket contacts during crimping. It’s an essential accessory for motorsport harness builders across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark who assemble Deutsch Autosport (Mil-Spec style) connectors.

What Does a Positioner Do?

A positioner indexes the contact to the exact depth and orientation in the crimp tool so the indents land in the correct place on the barrel. The K1494 is matched to ASC-ASU socket contacts, ensuring every socket is crimped to specification for a repeatable, high-reliability termination.

Part of the Autosport Tooling System

Deutsch Autosport connectors are built around a precision crimp system where the frame, turret/positioner, and contact must all match. The K1494 socket positioner pairs with the appropriate crimp frame to complete the setup for ASC-ASU socket contacts in demanding motorsport wiring.
