ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

2021-01-20
CURRENT
USCAR12-6
This document gives specific and measurable design requirements to be applied at a design review prior to tooling. The specification is formatted as a checklist to aid in its use. The requirements do not apply in all situations so engineering judgment must be used. This is a specification for design; applicable performance specifications (USCAR-2, etc.) must still be performed. Specific requirements in this document are grouped by component using a prefix as shown in Table 1 and are numbered by an item number following the prefix.

CURRENT
USCAR40-2
This guideline is applicable to existing lead solder production products that will change to lead-free solder processes to meet the ELV Directive 2000/53/EC Annex II, exemption 8B requirements. This guideline is applicable to similar products used by multiple OEM's that have the same manufacturing processes / equipment. The intent is to streamline the supplier’s environmental testing via common qualification to reduce timing, quantities, and costs.

CURRENT
USCAR32-1
This standard lists variables that shall be investigated and reported as an initial investigation into new or revised surface finishes intended for use on fasteners. This standard provides instruction for producing a final report that will be used to determine if further investigation of a surface finish is justified. Further investigation may include tests and evaluations specific to an individual OEM prior to introduction/approval of the surface finish. The final report shall include the results, observations, and conclusions for all of the variables. The final report may be made up of several individual reports covering each variable. In all cases the laboratory performing the test, the test date and the report approver shall be included in the final report.

PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION FOR AUTOMOTIVE RF CONNECTOR SYSTEMS

2002-11-18
HISTORICAL
USCAR17-1
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 a 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.

PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION FOR AUTOMOTIVE RF CONNECTOR SYSTEMS

2023-07-10
CURRENT
USCAR17-6
This document contains procedures for testing performance of SMB-style electrical terminals, connectors and components for coaxial cable connection systems intended for road vehicle applications. These are often called FAKRA II designs. This specification does not apply to the Non RF portion of a Hybrid RF connection system. The intent of this specification is to qualify sealed and unsealed RF connectors that operate at frequencies from DC to 6 GHz. The characteristic impedance of the SMB/FAKRA connection system is 50 ohms however this specification does not exclude the use of these RF connectors on non-50 ohm cables or systems. This specification does not apply to single conductor wire or twisted pair connection systems. This specification (along with SAE/USCAR 18) is designed to provide the mechanical and electrical data required to insure that assemblies from various manufacturers will perform reliably in actual conditions.
