United States Council for Automotive Research LLC 4/7/2017 What is USCAR? United States Council for Automotive Research LLC USCAR is a collaborative technology research company owned by the major Detroit Automobile Manufactures USCAR does not purchase or manufacture products 2

4/7/2017 Why Collaborate? Provides shared capabilities and access to resources that no single organization would otherwise be able to access Accelerates technical development and innovation Improves quality and reduces cost for developing enabling technologies Provides common voice to supply base Increases value of research investments 3

4/7/2017 USCAR Mission Expand the technical knowledge and know-how of the domestic auto industry Encourage and support cooperative research and development of automotive technologies 4

Independent Research & Development Portfolios 4/7/2017 Independent Research & Development Portfolios Before USCAR 5

Common Interests Enable Effective Collaboration 4/7/2017 Common Interests Enable Effective Collaboration After USCAR 6

4/7/2017 Shared Priorities Continue to Grow the USCAR/EWCAP Research & Development Portfolio Trade Associations Tier 2+ Equipment and Connector Makers Other and Emerging Industries Codes and Standards Organizations Collaborative Activities Automotive Wiring Suppliers 7

EWCAP Technological Leadership 4/7/2017 EWCAP Technological Leadership Footprints Specifications Related Products Process Equipment 12

Why “USCAR” Footprints One design accepted for all N. American OEMs Known technically-sound designs USCAR provides technical support for interface Device interface specifications Cost avoidance of having to tool/test multiple interfaces Higher connector volumes and quality on harness side Footprints are categorized by family 13

What’s a Footprint family ? Families grouped by terminal size 0.50 U 0.64 S 1.2 1.5 2.8 6.3 9.5 Sub-Families grouped by Sealed-Unsealed Most Families contain multiple terminal configurations such as 2,3,4 way The potential for additional rows of terminals for instance an 8 way may consist of 2 rows of 4 terminals each Part Numbers are arranged by Families 14

P/N System Standardized 150-S-003-1-Z01 Size Sealed Unsealed Cavitation # of Rows Serial Number 15
