SAE USCAR-2 Document Information:
Title
Performance Specification for Automotive Electrical Connector Systems
SAE International
Publication Date:
Nov 1, 2007
Scope:
Procedures included within this specification are intended to
cover performance testing at all phases of development, production,
and field analysis of electrical terminals, connectors, and
components that constitute the electrical connection systems in low
voltage (0 - 20 VDC) road vehicle applications. These procedures
are only applicable to terminals used for In-Line, Header, and
Device Connector systems with and without Shorting Bars. They are
not applicable to Edge Board connector systems, twist lock
connector systems, > 20 VAC or DC, or to eyelet type
terminals.
Note: Some tests detailed in this document such as connector
environmental or terminal electrical may be applicable to twist
lock systems. For twist lock connector system ergonomic
requirements refer to USCAR 25.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: In any intended vehicle
application, if the products covered by this specification are, or
may be, subjected to conditions beyond those described in this
document, they must pass special tests simulating the actual
conditions to be encountered before they can be considered
acceptable for actual vehicle application. By way only of example,
this includes products that may be subjected to temperatures beyond
the extremes of Class 5 in Figure 5.1.4, or may be subjected to
shock or vibration in the un-sprung portions of a vehicle, such as
the wheel hub. Products certified by their supplier as having
passed specific applicable portions of this specification are not
to be used in applications where conditions may exceed those for
which the product has been satisfactorily tested.
The Authorized Person is the final authority as to what tests
are to be performed on his or her parts and for what purpose these
tests are required. He or she is also the final authority for
resolving any questions related to testing to this specification
and to authorizing any deviations to the equipment or procedures
contained in this specification. Any such deviation must be
documented and included in the final test report.
Guidance as to the recommended tests for selected purposes is
given in the charts in Appendix C and D. In the absence of contrary
direction from the Authorized Person in the test request/order, all
electrical connectors and their associated terminals and other
components are required to meet all applicable portions of this
document with the following exception:
Specific tests that are not required or additional test
requirements as specified in any document in the hierarchy of
Section 3.
