SCOPE This test procedure is intended to evaluate and/or validate electrical ground schemes for use on the b

7、ody or chassis. There are two classes based on the expected environmental conditions. Exposed Grounds can be located anywhere in the vehicle (except on the powertrain) and is the class for which most schemes should be tested. Unexposed Grounds can only be used in the passenger compartment or trunk a

8、nd as such are special cases. This procedure as written is not intended for testing powertrain grounds where high temperatures and vibration levels may be encountered. These situations may require modifications to this procedure and are left to the Responsible Engineer to determine. This specificati

9、on does not specifically address validation of terminal to wire electrical crimps. Crimps are tested to SAE/USCAR-21 2.

10、AR-2 for other Reference Documents Required. 3. DEFINITIONS Exposed Ground Points - Exposed Ground Points can be located anywhere in the vehicle. Most ground schemes should be tested to this profile. Unexposed Ground Points - Unexposed Ground Points can only be used in the passenger compartment or t

11、runk and as such are special cases. Life Cycle - The number of life cycles run during the conditioning procedure depends on the desired confidence and reliability levels. For purposes of this document, one life cycle equals 6 years/100,000 miles. 4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Refer to SAE/USCAR-2 for Gene

12、ral Requirements. The test equipment list is replaced with the following: 4.1. Test Equipment and Tolerances 4.1.1. Test tolerances are per SAE/USCAR-2 except as noted. 4.1.2. Test equipment required is shown in table 1 SAE/USCAR-26 Issued August 2003 TEST PROCEDURE FOR ELECTRICAL GROUND ATTACHMENTS

Power Supply for taking measurements

14、. Capable of sustaining 5 volts at a minimum of 10 amps shall be set to current limit at 10 0.1 A Milli-volt meter Capable of measuring at least 0.01 mV Dry-off Environment: Temperature Humidity 60oC +/-2o40-50% RH Salt Fog Chamber Per ASTM B117 (+40oC) Table 1 Test Equipment and Conditions 4.1.3. T

15、est Fixture All conditioning and testing shall be conducted with the test specimens mounted to a test fixture made from a thermally non-conductive material. The test fixture shall be designed so that test samples will remain mounted to the same fixture throughout the entire test. (If a fixture becom

16、es unusable once the test has started and the samples are transferred to a different fixture, this should be recorded along with the data.) The test fixture shall have provisions to securely fix all wires to the fixture such that the wire length from the terminal to the fixture attachment point shal

17、l be 150 +/- 50mm. 4.2. Test Samples 4.2.1. Sample Quantity For validation, the number of required samples to be tested without failure is 20. Larger sample quantities may be tested depending upon the desired reliability and confidence levels. The number of samples tested and life cycles run shall b

18、e recorded as part of the test data. Running this test for only one life cycle is unacceptable for validation. For evaluation testing, one, two or three life cycle can be used with any number of samples - though a minimum of ten is recommended. SAE/USCAR-26 Issued August 2003 TEST PROCEDURE FOR ELEC

19、TRICAL GROUND ATTACHMENTS - 4 - 4.2.2. Test Coupons The actual shape of the test coupon is not critical, but the size should be kept at a minimum to reduce the thermal mass. Figure 1 shows one possible configuration. The number of parts attached to a coupon is also not critical, but again the coupon

20、 size should be kept at a minimum. When performing a test to compare parameters, all coupons in the test shall be the same size. Coupons should be made of 0.8 mm galvanized steel for general fastener testing. Where specific fastener or vehicle location requirements dictate otherwise, coupons should

21、simulate the actual mating material to be used in production. (i.e. cast iron, aluminum.) The coupons shall be treated with production intent coating and processes. The actual formulation and methods of application shall be included as part of the test data. Provided the area of attachment is proper

22、ly coated, incomplete sample coverage is not a concern. 4.2.3. Terminal Preparation The samples will be tested using a four-wire scheme; therefore each terminal shall have two wires attached to it. All wires shall be multi-strand 0.5mm2with cross-linked insulation, unless the purpose of this test di

23、ctates otherwise. Wires with PVC insulation shall not be tested. The two wires shall both be directly attached to the terminal and either soldered or welded in place (see Figure 2a). 4.2.4. Ground Wire Attachment to Test Coupon Two ground wires shall be attached to each test coupon. They shall be th

24、e same size and have the same type of insulation as the power wires. Both wires shall be directly attached to the test coupon and either soldered or welded in place. The voltage sense wire shall be located within 30mm of the attachment point (see Figure 2b). Provided the above criteria are met: a. I

25、f multiple parts are attached to the same coupon, they may share both ground wires. One ground wire may be daisy chained from coupon to coupon, but a separate voltage sense wire shall be used for each attachment/coupon. b. The area of attachment to the coupons may be coated. SAE/USCAR-26 Issued Augu

26、st 2003 TEST PROCEDURE FOR ELECTRICAL GROUND ATTACHMENTS - 5 - 4.2.5. Assembly of Test Samples Terminals shall lie parallel with respect to all mating surfaces (see Figure 2c). Additionally, if terminals are stacked, they shall be arranged so that there is no interference between crimp barrels (see

27、Figure 2d). Torque all fasteners to the low end of their respective torque ranges, unless torque variation is a consideration of the test. The torque for each fastener shall be included as part of the test data. The method, tool and tool settings used to torque the fasteners shall be the same for al

28、l similar fasteners, unless method and/or tool variability is a consideration of the test. The method, tool and tool settings used shall be included as part of the test data. Each attachment point shall be given a unique designation to be used for recording data. This designation shall be permanentl

29、y marked on the test coupon. If terminals are stacked, a uniform method of distinguishing the position of each terminal shall be used (e.g. #24t is the top terminal on fastener #24). 4.2.6. Grouping of Samples When performing a test to compare parameters and multiple groups of samples are to be test

30、ed, samples of each configuration shall be divided among all the groups. As a result, each group will be comprised of samples from each of the test configurations. 4.3. Test Procedures 4.3.1. Biasing Samples Samples shall be powered (biased) during all phases of the conditioning procedures except Th

31、ermal Shock and vibration. Any number of samples may be connected in parallel to reduce the number of power supplies required. Each power supply shall be set to current limit based on the number of samples connected to it: a. For 1 to 5 samples, the current limit shall be set to x amps 0.1 amps, whe

32、re x is the number of samples. b. For more that 5 samples, the current limit shall be set to x amps 0.5 amps, where x is the number of samples. 4.3.2. Test Schedule Repeat the cycle shown in figure 2 on the electrically biased samples. Additional life cycles may be run at the option of the test requ

33、estor. The test can be continued throughout weekends to decrease the overall test time. Samples shall be oriented with surfaces of the coupons horizontal so that water does not readily drain away during the Temperature/Humidity and Salt Fog conditioning procedures.
