Description / Abstract:
This SAE Recommended Practice defines test methods and general
requirements at all phases of development, production, and field
analysis of electrical terminals (including sense pins),
connectors, and components that constitute the jump-start
connection for road vehicles having 42 V (nominal) electrical
systems. The 42 V jump start connector is always remote from the
vehicle battery and may take the form of an in-line or Header
Connection, either of which is in an accessible location for
attachment of a jumper cable from an assist vehicle or battery
charger.
WARNING—The Jump Start Connector requires environmental
protection. This specification assumes that such protection is in
place and remains effective for the life of the vehicle. The level
of protection depends on the vehicle packaging environment and duty
cycle.
Appendix B of this document contains the physical specification
for the Jump Start Connector.
