Connector Holder based on Yazaki created drawing according to the technical standard, requirements
and specification agreed during Global benchmarking, including Best in Practice latest result.
2. SCOPE:
This document is valid for all YEL/YWT manufacturing plant, PTC, original holders makers and must be
applied to each connector holder, being used in the assembly area.
If the customer’s specifications do not contain any or insufficient directions with regard to the
connector’s holder design, the standards laid down in this document are to be applied.
3. TERMS & DEFINITIONS:
• BM-18 - 18th Global Yazaki benchmarking “Assembly Fixture”

• Connector - Housing for joining electrical circuits together: usually made up of a plug (male)
and a socket (female)
• Connector holder - A jig for securely fixing and holding connector (thereafter C/H)
• EME - European Manufacturing Engineering
• PTC - Porto Technical Center
• TCC /COSEE - Process Engineering/ Committee Of Standardization Equipment Evaluation
• YEG: Yazaki Europe Group
4. PROCESS DETAILS:
4.1 CONNECTOR HOLDER DESIGN

4.1.1 Due to the different types, shapes, and sizes of connectors, it is very difficult to make a
complete standardization and unification of all connector holders. Therefore, in this
document main criteria are described and should be applied to connector holders in all
cases, whatever it possible.
4.1.1.1 All connector holders must have the next design features (basic):
• same as connector shape and wrong connector can not be mounted
• a connector can not be mounted in a wrong orientation
• all gates and locking features can be left in an open position to enable the fitments
to be inserted
• connector holders must be the same color as connectors (or dot color when several
different components are existing in one part)
• engraved data panel included (Yazaki identification number/ manufacture batch
code for traceability)
4.1.1.2 Connector holder must be equipped with:
• fitted with ejector pin (plastic with spring)
• equipped with a secure locking device
• equipped with cable form part
• equipped with wire’s holder

Revision Date:
08/FEB/2021
SPECIFICATION
4.1.1.3 Connector holders must be always used (ordered) for the connector:
• if the connector has a secondary lock
• if the connector has more than 3 cavities
• when the terminal insertion is made by the operator into connector’s cavities
• if wires are taken out from the side (or back) of the connector
• if connector do not have any fragile parts (or body) which can be broken or made
connector unusable after usage of connector holders
• if connector holder fixture is fix type (not fall down)
• if the connector is an airbag connector (due to quality risk for handling process)
• if wire size cross-section bigger than 6.00 mm2
If there are no special customer requirements existing and the connector are not matching to
criteria described above, YEG plants may use a pin fork with a connector stopper (low-cost
solution) for each individual case.
4.1.2 Connector Holder Types

There are existing 3 types of connector holders, based on connector position:
a) Sided (Yokodashi) connector holder
b) Straight connector holder

SPECIFICATION
4.2.3.2 Criteria to design Lockin Device position on Connector Holder:

• The locking device can not block or limit access to connector cavities, where terminals
are being inserted.
• It is very important that the locking device should be placed in the correct position
towards to connector surface.
• Holder locking devices should not touch any part of the connector's locking system or
any fragile areas for fear of damage.
Pic.26 Wrong position of locking device Pic.27 Wrong position of locking device
• When there is a female connector with sensitive male terminals (for example 050
Terminals) there might be a risk that the locking device can damage the terminals. For that
reason, it is necessary to hide the locking device inside the gravity (to prevent terminals
touching.

4.2.5 Cable form part

A part should be fixed to the sided holder (from wires take-out direction) to assure branch’s
shape with wires bent 90 degrees (main target - to minimize extra-tension of terminated wires
and to prevent TPO - Terminal Push Out or Not fully inserted terminals defect, caused by tension).

Cable form part has 2 different shape options:
4.2.5.1 Thinner (5mm) Cable form part: It is directly mounted on Connector Holder. This
option should be used when there is the distance between the first insertion
cavity is longer than 20mm from the cable form part surface.

SPECIFICATION
4.2.5.2 Larger (10mm) Cable Form Part: There is an additional 5mm wall on the Cable
form part. In this way, it is possible to bring the surface of the Cable Form part
more away to make insertion possible when the cavities are closer to Cable
Form Part. If the fist insertion cavity dimension is less than 20mm, this option
should be used.

4.2.8 Nano MQS marking on connector holders

It is necessary to mark connector holders with 2mm gravity and orange color inside. The idea is to
identify Nano MQS connector holders because of the sensitive terminals and not allowed / high
risk of the rework process. This color marking must e applied in all type of connector holders
(Sided, Straight, Angled, and as well Sub Assembly)

4.2.9 Airbag Connector Holders

All airbag connector holders’ color must be yellow as it is a critical process and not allowed
rework. The idea is to identify Airbag connector holders because of the not allowed rework
process. All types of connector holders (Sided, Straight, and as well Sub Assembly) must be yellow.
Angled type of connector holder should not be used for Airbag connectors.
Pic. 44 Airbag Connector Holder
4.2.10 Standard Sub-assembly jig

It is recommended to use this jig in the sub-assembly station to fix the connector inside when the
terminal insertion is necessary to perform.
Sub-assembly holders must have the below features:
A - Color identification
B - Locking device
C - Ejection pin
D - Visual aid (color)

This jig has the same function as a standard sub-assembly connector holder but is additionally
equipped with Alum plates (as a color template), which closes unused cavities and preventing from
the wrong insertion.
Pic.46 Connector holder with mask plate
4.3 Connector Holder Height Adjustment: All connector holder heights should be adjusted
according to the height of BM1 Forks. Adjusting CH heights according to forks’ heights is an
important point because of the below reasons:
• To prevent the Quality Risk of damaging wires. Because operators have to place the
wires inside the forks before starting the taping process. During this process, wires are
been pulled by the operator and stressed onto the pins of the forks while placing them
inside.
• To have a negative impact on efficiency. Because when the wires are not kept in the
forks, then operators on the taping side have to reorganize the wires which are causing
an impact of losing time.
Some variants of the forks can be different but in general, the center of the BM1 fork's height is
100mm. The purpose is to keep the brunch/trunk center always at the center of the fork.

SPECIFICATION
Pic.47 Center of the brunch / trunk into the assembly fork
4.3.1 Height Adjustment for Straight Connector Holders: The center of the connector into
the connector holder should be equal to the branch center in the fork. A correct height of
leg (in chapters 4.2.1.5, 4.2.1.6, or 4.2.2.2) should be chosen for Connector Holder.
The same logic should be applied in Angled Type of Connector Holders (The dimensional
center should be the center of the connector into the Angled Connector Holder)
Point A should be equal to Point B

Pic.48 Height Adjustment for Straight Connector Holder
4.3.2 Height adjustment for Sided Connector Holders: The center of the branch coming
from the sided Connector holder should be equal to the branch center in the fork. A correct
height of leg (in chapters 4.2.1.5, 4.2.1.6, or 4.2.2.2) should be chosen for Connector Holder.

4.5 Procedure:
4.5.1 Connector Holder procurement
4.5.1.1 The YEG plants must purchase connector’s holders and their part (leg, locking
device, cable form part, etc.) - only from certificated YAZAKI suppliers in
accordance with the purchasing agreement with YEG Supply management. In
any special case, plants should contact and receive permission from YEG SM or
EME TCC COSEE Assembly team leader.
4.5.1.2 YEG plant needs to check central PTC database, before preparing purchasing
order, if individual C/H drawing with Yazaki part number exists.
If an individual C/H drawing exists in the PTC database (with status “Validated”)
then the YEG plant needs to order to the supplier by means of standard YEG
“Calculation Quotations Sheet for Assembly Jig Board and Clip Checker Fixture”.
4.5.1.3 If a C/H drawing exists with a status marked “Trial”, then the plant can order
only one sample (it is not allowed to order to duplicate/copied jig, if jig had
been not validated).
4.5.1.4 If a C/H drawing does not exist then, YEG plants need to request PTC to create a
drawing and upload it in the database.
4.5.1.5 All connector holders shall be handled carefully so that surface scratching and
other damage are avoided. The outside surface of connector holders shall not
be dragged or slid over other material during handling operation.
4.5.1.6 All connector holders shall be packed in a suitable cardboard box (each
cardboard box must have advised notes attached that records the contents of
that box) with a delivery note.
4.5.1.7 The supplier must ensure handling and delivery of connectors holders in a
secured way (all products are cushioned and will not move inside the cardboard
box during normal condition or transportation).
4.5.1.8 After receiving connector holders from the connector holder’s supplier, the
responsible person in the YEG plant must check and verify that connector

SPECIFICATION
holder is not damage the connector or its fragile parts. Only after verification, it
is possible to start to build up an assembly jig board.
4.5.2 Newly designed Connector holder process flow

If YEG plants need to have a group of new C/H (example: more than 5 C/H for a new
project) then it is necessary to full fill the “Connector Holder Progress Follow Up Chart”
document and to submit it to the PTC team.
4.5.2.1 PTC design team need to prepare a 3D drawing (*r.X_T format) and 2D (*pdf
format) of the connector holder based on the 3D model file, received from the
component supplier. If the 3D model is not available – then PTC needs to
request a physical connector sample and make a re-drawing of the connector
based on the physical sample. Connector holder drawing should be uploading
to the database with marked “Trial” status.
4.5.2.2 The supplier must download the C/H drawing from the PTC database and
manufacture one prototype jig sample. If tolerance in PTC drawing can not be
supplied, suppliers must guarantee the function of the connector holder with
respect to the samples provided – clearance dimension 0.2 mm.
The supplier must check with a physical sample of the connector’s holder:
dimensions and functionality. If any problem is detected with the C/H drawing
or its accessories then the supplier must contact and inform the PTC team
about deviation. PTC must review drawing – and when it is necessary, to solve
the jig design issue or to correct the dimensional problem.
4.5.2.3 The supplier must manufacture a new jig based on drawing correction, which
was done from PTC, and repeat the test with the connector sample.
Only if test results will be good and connector holder is functional – it is allowed
to send jig prototype to YEG plant for final functional approval.
4.5.2.4 YEG plant must make validation of first C/H prototype according to “Connector
holder approval form “EA-MF-WH-S-080-F1 checklist and send with approval
results in written form to PTC.
In case when some malfunction is found with the jig (or its parts), then the
plant needs to analyze the problem and to inform:
A) PTC team:
If any dimensional problem is detected with C/H or its accessories in drawing
(when the jig is fully matching to drawing, but not functional), then the plant
must contact and inform the PTC team about drawing deviation;
B) Supplier:
If any functional problem is found with a jig or its part (sample is not matching
drawing or connector is not fitting properly to the holder), then it is necessary
to contact and inform the supplier about holder (or it’s accessories) problem;
PTC or supplier must analyze requests from the plant and take corrective
actions accordingly.
4.5.2.5 When the “Connector holder approval form “EA-MF-WH-S-080-F1is received
from the plant and C/H is approved – then the PTC team needs to approve the
C/H drawing and to change status from “Trial” to “Validated” (which means

Revision Date:
08/FEB/2021
SPECIFICATION
valid for mass production). A new C/H drawing “Validated” should be uploaded
in the data base and a “Trial” drawing should be deleted with immediate effect.
4.5.2.6 PTC team must coordinate all activity between plant and supplier by means of
“Connector Holder Progress Follow Up Chart” document and by consolidating
all reports from all sides.
4.5.3 Connector holder improvement

4.5.3.1 If there any improvements should be done with C/H or its part, then the YEG
plant needs to submit a Kaizen request with described changing content in
written form to the PTC team.
4.5.3.2 PTC must make analyze improvement requests and describes acceptance or
rejection judgment result in the defined time period (not longer than two
weeks). If the subject requires some more time (longer than two weeks) making
the judgment, the revision period should be set accordingly and inform via e-
mail to the requesting plant.
If the result is accepted by all plants, PTC makes the final judgment. Update the
drawing on the database, and inform the relevant plant via email that revision
of the document is completed.
4.5.3.3 When the Kaizen request is rejected, PTC needs to describe its reason and send
it back to the requesting plant.
4.5.4 How to fulfill the Quotation Sheet

The quotation sheet is separated between Category A (The simplest and cheapest one) to
Category O (The most complicated and expensive one)
Pic.50 Quotation Sheet
The Quotation Sheet must be fulfilled according to the below table which shows the Size
and Complexity classification. A category should be selected between “a” and “o” (if the
