Connectors for Motorsport, Automotive, Industries and Instrumentation

Autosport Connectors from Deutsch and Souriau

The connectors of the Deutsch and Souriau Autosport series are the most used parts in professional motorsports. They stand out by compactness and low weight going along with high temperature resistance and electric load capacity. Due to their excellent properties these connectors more and more also get used in amateur racing and with restoration of classic race and sports cars. The AS and 8STA series of both manufacturers are equal in quality and fully interchangeable.

circular Autosport connectors with 1 - 128 terminals
two pairings, each with six single unmistakable colour codings
contact sizes: AWG22 (5A) / AWG20 (7.5A) / AWG16 (20A)
ASL: 5 pole miniature connector with AWG23 contacts (3A)
ASU: 3 and 5 pole sub-miniature connector (AWG22/24, 5A / 3A)
ASX: 3 / 5 and 6 pole sub-miniature connector (AWG22/24, 5A / 3A)

Normally, Aamgard Engineering delivers standard coded connectors in single quantities from own stock or within few working days from manucaturer inventory. We would be pleased to help with further advise in pairing and systematics, processing and tooling of Autosport connectors.

🖂 Request MIL Connector

MIL Connectors

Due to their military origin, multipolar circular connectors with bayonet coulpling and greenish anodized aluminium housing are usually called MIL connectors. But from beginning, they have been used also in civil naval and aerospace applications and in motorsports of the seventies and eighties. Since end of the nineties, in modern racecars they have been mainly replaced by the lighter and better performing Autosport connectors.

many interchangeable types from Amphenol, ITT-Cannon, Souriau et al.
number of terminals: 2 - 60+

Due to the overwhelming count of manufacturers and variants, we only have a few MIL connectors in stock. But e.g. for classic Cosworth engines, the most common connectors can be purchased at our distributors at reasonable lead times.

🖂 Request DT / DTP / DTM

Deutsch Industrial Connectors DT / DTP / DTM

Due to their robustness, DT, DTP and DTM connectors from TE-Deutsch are mainly used in special vehicles and construction machinery. The DTM series offer a good electric quality, depending of the exact terminal type a heigh contact durability, compact dimensions and a good temperature and chemicals stability. DTM connectors are easy to assemble and very popular in motorsports, being an inexpensive alternative to ASL Autosport connectors.

DT: standard connector at construction machinery
DTP: connector with high ampacity
DTM: pole counts 2 - 12, roll crimp contacts or machined contacts

We frequently use DTM connectors, so usually small quantities are available from stock or higher numbers at short notice via our suppliers.

🖂 Request Superseal Connector

Tyco Superseal

The striking Superseal connectors are mainly used by us, where a high mechanical quality at low prices is required. The connectors contain standard roll crimp contacts, the amperage of a single terminal is up to 14 Ampere.

AE part number: SS
number of terminals: 1 - 6
applications: industries, automotive technology and special vehicles

Superseal connectors are usually available off the shelf.

🖂 Request Thermostecker

Thermocouple Connector / Compensation Connector

Due to its physical functional principle, a thermocouple should not been connected with ''normal'' contacts, but only via thermal contact materials matching the particular element. For the most used K-type thermocouples these are so-called Alumel resp. Chromel contacts. The suitable connectors are colour-coded (IEC / DIN-EN 584 green) and terminals (+/-) must not be interchanged.

AE part number: CTCK-S / CTCK-P
number of terminals: 2-polig
colour code: IEC / DIN green (type K)
applications: connecting of thermocouples, exhaust gas sensors etc.

Type K thermocouple connectors are usuable available from stock.
