Delphi 150 & 280 Series GT FBT USCAR Unsealed Connection Systems - 1

CONNECTION SYSTEMS Delphi 150 & 280 Series GT FBT USCAR Unsealed Connection Systems Delphi offers the industry's first application of advanced Flexible Beam Technology (FBT) designed into an automotive connection system. The connection system is an extension of the GT product line and features Flexible Beam Technology for the terminal-to-connector cavity interface. The connection system offers reduced complexity at lower cost while providing industry-leading terminal retention. The GT FBT series includes 1.5 and 2.8 mm unsealed female connectors designed to mate to USCAR footprint devices. The GT FBT series provides better terminal retention, with reduced mass and a robust locking mechanism. The GT terminal and connector system offers a small package size suited to fit the tight space requirements of today's vehicles. The GT Connection System includes: Tangless terminals with stamped serrations Primary cantilever lock with features for optional Connector Position Assurance (CPA) Female terminals compatible with ISO or SAE blades GT FBT USCAR 16 way unsealed 1.5 mm female connector Benefits Terminal position assurance without additional pieces is a technology differentiator Improvement in harness first time quality enhances quality/warranty performance Reduces mass up to 12 percent with fewer pieces 30 percent increase in terminal retention enhances performance Industry standard repair tools used for simple servicing, with no secondary pieces to remove Tangless terminals yield durability Low engage force improves reliability and ergonomics Primary cantilever lock with features for optional CPA for easy disassembly and low engage force Mates to ISO, SAE blades for compatibility with existing systems FBT uses a rigid ramp to provide the terminal primary lock. A flexible beam opposite the retention ramp holds the terminal against the ramp and provides audible and tactile feedback. Tel: (1) 248.813.2000 | www.delphi.com | © 2007 Delphi Corporation.
