  • Who Is Making That Terrible DIN?
    Who is making that terrible DIN? Undoubtedly there are those amongst us who cannot sleep at night because they wonder what the numbers on the bottom of Automotive Relays actually mean. You have seen them. The relay coils are labelled 85 and 86. Contacts are labelled 30, 87 and 87a. Who got to say What the numbers were? Why are we still stuck with them? Is it really the relay numbers that prevent you from sleeping? Set the wayback machine to 1917 when the German Institute for Standardisation (Deutsches Institut für Normung) was formed, who’s name was translated and abbreviated to DIN standards. Then fast-forward to when they announced DIN standard 72552 Electrical terminal numbers in automobiles. Yes, there is a list for the designation of almost every wire within a car. They successfully persuaded the auto relay manufacturers to continue to put these codes on their relays, even though they have forgotten why. Sure it is likely that motor vehicle electrics have moved on somewhat since 1917, but don’t hold your breath waiting for the numbers to disappear from the bottoms of Chinese made relays displayed on your supermarket peg board. The DIN 72552 CODE Code Wire Function 1 Coil, distributor - low voltage 1a To contact breaker I (distributor with 2 separate circuits) 1b To contact breaker II (distributor with 2 separate circuits) 2 Shorting circuit - magneto ignition 4 Coil, distributor - high voltage 4a From coil I (distributor with 2 separate circuits) 4b From coil II (distributor with 2 separate circuits) 7 Ballast resistor terminal to/from

Opinnäytetyössä käsiteltiin sähköajoneuvojen mukanaan tuomia haasteita ja mahdollisuuksia sekä jännitetasojen eroavaisuuksia teollisuus- ja ajoneuvopuolella. Lisäksi käsiteltiin lyhyesti erilaisia latausmetodeja sekä alan standardisointia. Työ tehtiin PKC Wiring Systems Oy:lle. Korkeajännitejärjestelmässä käytettäviä komponentteja ja niiden ominaisuuksia käsiteltiin siten, että lopputuloksesta muodostuu yleiskäsitys uusista vaatimuksista. Keskeisimpänä ominaisuutena olivat henkilöturvallisuusnäkökohdat sekä suunnittelussa ja materiaalivalinnoissa huomioonotettavat asiat toimittaessa korkeajänniteympäristössä. Yrityksen sisäiseen käyttöön tarkoitetussa osiossa laadittiin lyhyt tekninen analyysi korkeajännitekomponentteja sisältäneistä tarjouskyselyistä. Näiden pohjalta tehtiin ehdotuksia mihin osa-alueisiin tulisi panostaa, mikäli

As well as supplying to private brand distributors, we have also launched a range of branded product ranges, each uniquely branded with no reference to CCL. These offer distributors the option to stock products in high impact branded packaging, supported by marketing and promotional material and technical information. Each brand also has it’s own online eco- catalogue for use by you and your customers, where you will always find the most up-to-date product range information, vehicle application data, cross reference data and technical support. As with the branded product packaging, the eco- catalogues contain no reference to CCL. Although CCL already has a large product range, we realise that we must continue to increase the range and service that we offer, in addition to rapidly responding to our customers changing requirements and so are eager to discuss the development of new/bespoke products at the request of our customers and as part of our continuous improvement strategies we would warmly welcome your suggestions as to how we can improve the service that we currently offer. To that end we are always mindful of our greatest asset, which is the opportunities that YOU, our valued customer offer us.

  • White Paper 4 Understanding Electrical Overstress - EOS
    White Paper 4 Understanding Electrical Overstress - EOS Industry Council on ESD Target Levels August 2016 Revision 1.2 Industry Council on ESD Target Levels 1 This document is available through various public domains as listed below: The Industry Council on ESD http://www.esdindustrycouncil.org/ic/en/ The Electrostatic Discharge Association http://www.esda.org/ JEDEC – Under Publication JEP174 http://www.jedec.org/ Industry Council on ESD Target Levels 2 Abstract Damage signatures from Electrical Overstress (EOS) are the leading reported cause of returns in integrated circuits and systems that have failed during operation. Solutions to this problem are hindered by a prevailing misconception in the electronics industry that insufficient robustness to electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a primary cause of EOS. This document, White Paper 4, (WP) has been carefully compiled by the Industry Council on ESD Target Levels to foster a unified global understanding of what constitutes EOS and how EOS damage signatures can result from a wide variety of root causes. The paper begins by outlining a brief history of EOS. It then presents the results of an industry-wide EOS survey. This survey gathered information on the types of EOS problems experienced by over 80 different companies, the relative importance of EOS to their overall business, and the methods assigned by these companies to address EOS issues. The survey provides a combined picture from which a more comprehensive definition of EOS can be made. The numerous categories and sub- categories of EOS root causes are explored in an attempt to understand how to create better specifications which will reduce their occurrence.
