This radio frequency (RF) connector interface specification is suited for unsealed automobile applications up to 2 GHz. Dimensional requirements are specified in this document to ensure interchangeability. This RF connector interface specification is intended for in-line, board mount, device mount, straight or angled applications. Performance requirements are specified in SAE/USCAR-2, and in SAE/USCAR-17.

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 for coaxial cable connection systems (hereafter referred to as RF connectors) in road vehicle applications. The intent of this specification is to qualify RF connectors that operate at frequencies greater than 200 MHz. This specification does not apply to single conductor wire or twisted pair connection systems. The RF connection system will be qualified for specific coaxial cable; the qualified coaxial cable and frequency range of interest must be listed on the connector drawing. Changing coaxial cable necessitates re-qualification. This specification is a supplement to the SAE/USCAR-2 Performance Standard for Automotive Electrical Connector Systems and all requirements herein must be met in addition to all requirements of SAE/USCAR-2, unless otherwise specified.

This life test for underhood/passenger/trunk connector systems may be used in place of Section 5.8.6 (Connector System Electrical Test Flow Chart) of SAE/USCAR-2. All other requirements of SAE/USCAR-2 remain applicable even when this test is used. Refer to SAE/USCAR-2 and Connector/Terminal Supplier for appropriate power rating and current cycle Testing.

This document gives general guidelines to be used during the connector design stage. Various guidelines may not apply in all situations. Therefore, sound engineering judgment must be used in their application. Consider these guidelines as the basis for connector and wiring DFMEA’s. Items in this document are grouped by DFMEA functional requirements. Groups are as follows: A Non-functional Drawing Requirements B Electrical Continuity C Electrical Isolation/Sealing D Device Assembly E Harness Assembly F Vehicle Assembly G Serviceability

This standard covers the operational characteristics, environment, durability procedures, and test procedures for in-tank electric fuel pumps for automotive gasoline applications. Specific performance and test criteria used in conjunction with this procedure are specified on the pump drawing. Particular sections of this document may be required for all applications. This standard is intended to evaluate specific characteristics as a supplement to normal material inspections, dimensional checking, and in-process controls, and should in no way adversely influence other inspection operations.

The materials defined by this U.S. CAR / S.A.E Recommended Practice are low VOC water based coatings for automotive tooling and general maintenance.

This standard is intended to cover cigar or cigarette lighters as well as power outlets based on the form and dimensions of the cigar lighter. This standard is a full performance specification, it includes dimensional and operational parameters as well as performance characteristics which must be met when submitting a cigar lighter assembly or power outlet assembly for production approval. This standard constitutes an acceptance specification for a surface mounted, front-loaded cigar lighter or power outlet.
