Deutsch is continually assessing the requirements of the ever demanding world of motorsport, where weight and size are ever critical. Although the current Micro HE set a new industry standard some four years ago, due to innovative design with leading-edge materials, Deutsch has introduced the AS Microlite HE, which sets a new standard for both space envelope and weight for an all aluminium connector. The new As Microlite HE is in excess of 30% lighter than the original AS Micro HE and approximately 8mm shorter, whilst still retaining all the critical features of the As Micro HE including the renowned Deutsch #23 contacts, and remaining fully intermateable with the original Micro HE.
