This document gives general guidelines to be used during the connector design stage. Various guidelines may not apply in all situations. Therefore, sound engineering judgment must be used in their application. Consider these guidelines as the basis for connector and wiring DFMEA’s. Items in this document are grouped by DFMEA functional requirements. Groups are as follows: A. Electrical Continuity B. Electrical Isolation/Sealing C. Device Assembly D. Harness Assembly E. Vehicle Assembly F. Materials G. Serviceability H. Environmental Requirements I. High Voltage (≥ 60V) Application Requirements
