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:

A

Terminals

B

Secondary Terminal Locks

C

Connectors

D

Connector Locks

E

Secondary Connector Locks (Connector Position Assurance, CPA)

F

Connector Seals

G

Serviceability

H

High Voltage (≥60V) Application Requirements
