Electrical Connection standards for road vehicles focus on the dimensional characteristics of both on-board and towing electrical connectors. Also addressed in some standards are electrical characteristics, contact allocation, performance requirements, tests, and test requirements. Additionally, the interchange of digital information is covered by the ISO 11992 as it uses the electrical towing connections. These standards are related to the electrical connections within a motor vehicle.
This document specifies the mechanical dimensions of mandatory connectors and optional connectors used by the recording equipment for the data and the service interfaces. This includes, in particular, the connection to the CAN-based in-vehicle networks.
This document specifies the electrical interfaces of the data and the service interfaces. The electrical interfaces to the CAN-based in-vehicle networks are not in the scope of this document.
ISO 20860-1:2008 specifies male and female connectors of the 50 ohms impedance system interface for radio frequency applications in road vehicles, and ensures communication to and within road vehicles. It specifies dimensional and electrical requirements and characteristics required for interchange ability. This connection system can be applied in all relevant equipment and cable connections of road vehicles.
Adopts IEC/TR 60783, Ed. 1.0 (1984), which provides general rules for all external wiring and connectors which are used for interconnecting the traction components and sub-systems. The rules will be applicable to the heavy current, the light current and the signal harnesses.
Procedures included within this specification are intended to cover performance testing at all phases of development, production, and field analysis of electrical terminals, connectors, and components that constitute the electrical connection systems in high power road vehicle applications that operates at either 20 V to 600 volts regardless of the current applied or any current greater than or equal to 80 A regardless of the voltage applied.. These procedures are applicable only to terminals used for In-Line, Header, and Device Connectors and for cable sizes up to 120 mm 2x (4/0). In cases where power levels are mixed in the same connector, (i.e. sensing or normal 14.5 volt system circuits with High Power Contacts) the High Power Contacts must pass J1742 requirements, and all other contacts must pass SAE J2223-2 requirements. The connection system (housing and high power contacts) shall meet J1742 requirements. The requirements and procedures in this document are not intended for connections internal to electrical/electronic modules or complete subassemblies. This document does not contain a test for EMI/EMC since these parameters must be tested as a combination of cable and connector. These are considered system level requirements. Determination of the need and type of test must be considered at that level. See Appendix C , Design Notes for further information. IMPORTANT NOTICE : In any intended vehicle application, if the products covered by this specification are, or may be, subjected to conditions beyond those described in this document, they must pass special tests simulating the actual conditions to be encountered before they can be considered acceptable for actual vehicle application. By way only of example, this includes products that may be subjected to temperatures beyond the extremes of Class 5 in Table 2 of SAE J2223-2, or may be subjected to shock or vibration in the un-sprung portions of a vehicle, such as the wheel hub. Products certified by their supplier as having passed specific applicable portions of this specification are not to be used in applications where conditions may exceed those for which the product has been satisfactorily tested. The Authorized Person is the final authority as to what tests are to be performed on his or her parts and for what purpose these tests are required. He or she is also the final authority for resolving any questions related to testing to this specification and for authorizing any deviations to the equipment, procedures and/or acceptance requirements contained in this specification. Any such deviation must be documented and included in the final test report and on the part print. The following are examples of appropriate print notations: Example 1: Test value per SAE J2223-2, Revision 1, paragraph 5.4.2 Connector Mating/Un-mating Force – mating force value = 85 N. Example 2: SAE J2223-2, Revision 1, paragraph 5.4.9 Cavity Damage Susceptibility – not applicable to this design. Agreement to waive or alter test procedures and Acceptance Criteria must be made between customer and supplier. Guidance as to the recommended tests for selected purposes is given in the charts in Appendix A and B . In the absence of contrary direction from the Authorized Person in the test request/order, all electrical connectors and their associated terminals and other components are required to meet all applicable portions of this document with the following exception: Specific tests that are not required or additional test requirements as specified in any document in the hierarchy of Section 2 .
This document has been declared 'Stabilized" and will no longer be subjected to periodic reviews for currency. Users are responsible for verifying references and continued suitability of technical requirements. Newer technology may exist. This SAE Standard specifies dimensional characteristics of flat blades of single-pole connectors and specific requirements for on-board electrical harnesses of road vehicles, which can be fitted into female connectors such as those given as in Appendix A. This document applies to connectors designed to be disconnected after mounting in the vehicle in the case of repair and/or maintenance only.

This document references the latest publication of SAE J1962. On-board diagnostic (OBD) regulations require road vehicles to be equipped with a standardized connector for purposes of access to OBD information by external test equipment. This document describes the requirements for the physical connection and associated pin usage to allow for standard access to the OBD data. This document is technically equivalent to SAE J1962 with the exception of the specific requirements identified and the specification of additional requirements related to right hand driven (RHD) vehicles.
This part of ISO 15170 specifies those items, principally dimensions and classes of application of electrical connectors with up to four pins and twist lock coupling, necessary for assuring the interchangeability of both parts of electrical connections according to ISO 15170. This type of connection is intended for electrical connections in truck, bus and trailer applications (e.g. for components directly mounted on the engine).
