Delphi OCS Connectors and Terminals Enhance Connection System Performance

This new series of OCS components is simple in design, yet superior in function, said Brenton Smith, director, global product line management, Delphi Connection Systems. The simplicity allows for more consistent manufacturing and improved quality while the superior design delivers the performance features automakers are seeking.

The optimal connection system application uses both Delphi OCS terminals and connectors together, providing customers the maximum benefits of the total component series. Connection integrity is ensured with OCS's innovative component designs including low profile connector locks, side actuated connector position assurance locks with visual seat indication, and dual cantilever beam terminal contact geometries. These features target to improve the top connection system warranty issues found in vehicles today, including connector disconnect and terminal continuity issues.

Delphi OCS connectors are available in sealed and unsealed versions for in-line and device applications in multiple terminal sizes including 0.64 mm, 1.50 mm, and 2.80 mm. High-performing OCS terminals are available with Delphi-specific interfaces and proven crimp technology. The terminals are available in a wide product range of crimp sizes from 0.13 mm² to 3.0 mm² (26 gauge to 12 gauge).

Delphi continuously launches new products to meet the needs of the global transportation and commercial markets. A complete portfolio of connection systems, including miniaturized connections, helps deliver high power safely and keeps drivers connected with high-speed data.
