Formed:
June 1994
Mission:
Permit and encourage cooperative research
and development which includes the joint sharing of technologies
and resources to develop common electrical connection
systems.
Goals:
- To develop common designs for
electrical connectors to reduce costs and product complexity,
while improving reliability, quality and serviceability.
- To establish common families of
best-in-class connection systems.
- To establish a standard "footprint"
for electrical components common to all partners.
To develop industry-wide, test specifications
and design guidelines for electrical components.
Definition Of USCAR Compliance:
- It must meet footprint specification
without deviation.
- I must meet EWCAP blade drawing
- It must meet applicable specifications:
- USCAR-2: Performance Specification
for Automotive Electrical Connector Systems
- USCAR-12: Wiring Component
Design Guidelines
- USCAR-21: Crimped Electrical
Terminal Performance Specification
- USCAR-25: Electrical Connector
Assembly Ergonomic Design Criteria
