Developed by Deutsch from the MIL-C-38999 Series 1.5 (Eurofighter
connector), the Deutsch AS Series is a range of medium and high
density circular connectors designed to meet the stringent requirements
of the autosport industry. Foremost of these requirements are
enhanced performance with both weight and space savings. Available
in a huge range with a wide variety of options, the AS Series features
high density arrangements up to 128 ways with four shell styles, and
five keyway orientations.
100% scoop-proof interface with RFI grounding fingers
Integral screen termination/boot location
In-line and two hole mounting styles
Environmentally sealed to IP67
Filter, Hermetic and Fibre Optic options available
PCB options as standard
Standard Gold-plated crimp contacts
5 keyway orientations, indicated by different colour bands
Universal orientation for test equipment
BENEFITS
Standardised product range
Weight, space and cost savings compared to existing aerospace type connectors
No need for backshells for boot termination
Screening braid and strain relief boot can both be fitted
Scoop-proof interconnection where space envelope would previously have dictated the use of non scoop proof connectors
High quality plating enhances durability and appearance of connector
Intermateable with existing LN29729 (Mil-C-38999 Series 11/2) and Pan 6433-2 style connectors
Uses standard Aerospace crimp tooling
Visual indication of keyway orientation of connector
Purpose designed coupling/decoupling tools
