Copyright 2011 Yazaki Corp. All rights reserved (Ver.13.01) 19 Our Concerns About Safety

“Safety is Our Top Priority.”

 “500V / 120A” is high current which ordinary people have never handled.  If users handle it mistakenly, it can be a serious risk (arcing) for them.

Copyright 2011 Yazaki Corp. All rights reserved (Ver.13.01) 20 Our Intention To Secure Safety “Safety is Our Top Priority.” 1. Yazaki designs “2-action” mechanism in our connector to secure safety.

 Yazaki’s Disconnecting Process [1 st Action] - The terminals unmate inside the mated connectors.

Arcing can occur at 1st action.

[2 nd Action] - The connectors unmate.  Therefore “2-action” mechanism does not expose the users to arcing.

Copyright 2011 Yazaki Corp. All rights reserved (Ver.13.01) 21 Our Intention To Secure Safety “Safety is Our Top Priority.” 2. Yazaki avoids “1-action” mechanism, even if it looks very easy to use.  “1-action” mechanism can be dangerous because the connector can be disconnected by one step, in which arcing can occur.  Therefore “1-action” mechanism can expose the users to arcing.
