SAE USCAR12-4 – ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR DESIGN CRITERIA

This document gives specific and measurable design criteria 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 criteria; applicable performance specifications (USCAR-2, etc.) must still be performed.

Items in this document are grouped by component as follows:

1. Terminals

2. Secondary Terminal Locks

3. Connectors

4. Connector Locks

5. Secondary Connector Locks (Connector Position Assurance, CPA)

6. Connector Seals

7. Serviceability

8. High Voltage (≥60V) Application Requirements

9. Drawing and General Requirements
