Defense Aerospace A defense/aerospace manufacturer was experiencing problems with a non-Delphi fiber optic connector supplier, which created high replacement and repair costs. Expensive circuit card assemblies were required to repair the broken fibers and devices. Delphis optics engineers developed a solution to help eliminate these high rework costs by creating a connector that meets extremely low height and weight requirements. This improved connector design provides a high-reliability, replaceable fiber optic connector and termini system used in harsh environment applications. Portable Communications A major mobile electronics manufacturer developed an accessor y that slid into a unit and mated with a connector that slid over part of a bare circuit board. Preliminar y testing by the OEM showed that the circuit board would damage the contacts after only a few cycles. Delphi was able to provide a new insert-molded connector design to the OEM that utilized a proprietary Teflon impregnated material. The first design was completed two days after the initial customer meeting. Production parts in tape and reel packaging were shipped six weeks after receiving the customers initial order. Medical Equipment A key medical device manufacturer was experiencing serious reliability problems with a critical part from another supplier. Delphis custom product engineering team redesigned the part and delivered customer-validated,

high-volume production quantities within six months. As a result, Delphi was able to help resolve all prior quality issues and provide significant cost savings to the customer. To date, more than six million high-reliability Delphi parts have been shipped to the customer. Computers and Peripherals A large computer OEM discovered that after completely redesigning a desktop computer system, the original batter y holder did not fit on the circuit board and needed remote mounting. Delphis innovative solution eliminated the design problem by creating a holder with cable and connector attached to the circuit board. Prototypes were delivered four weeks after the initial customer meeting, and full production occurred eight weeks after customer approval. Automotive Delphi actively participates in USCAR (United States Consortium for Automotive Research) and Electrical Wiring Component Applications Partnership (EWCAP) to develop common designs for electrical connectors to help reduce cost and product complexity, while helping to improve reliability, quality and ser viceabilit y. Our ongoing involvement in the technical and design sessions of these consortiums directly influences the development of industr y-wide test specifications and design guidelines for electrical components. Ultimately, Delphis initiative to help create these common best practices results in faster times to market for OEMs and Tier 1 customers.
