21 ELECTRICAL WIRING COMPONENT APPLICATION PARTNERSHIP  Mission: –Facilitate and encourage cooperative research and development including sharing of technologies and resources to develop common electrical connection systems and standard electrical components (e.g., motors, relays, and switches)  Staff: –Three full-time engineers, representing Ford, GM and DaimlerChrysler, located in Southfield, MI (Presently considering a reorganization) Harry Zaverzence /Jim Roberts (DaimlerChrysler) Dan Jarmolinski (GM) –  Formed: –June, 1994  Uniqueness: –Projects are not research oriented, but aimed at introduction of terminals, connectors, and electrical components for specific model year What is EWCAP?

22 1.Develop common electrical connector specifications 2.Establish a standard “footprint” for electrical connections 3.Reduce the number of different connectors on a vehicle by using common device connection footprints 4.Establish and Catalog common families of “Best-in- Class” connection systems USCAR / EWCAP Objectives

23 BENEFITS  Improve performance, reliability, and durability  Reduce development time  Commonization of “non-competitive” electrical devices  Reduces resource requirements on new systems  Reduces duplicate testing at suppliers  Assist in “Internationalization” of electrical components USCAR / EWCAP Objectives
