Central grounding cuts costs

Delphi’s new electrical grounding system for vehicle interiors reduces the need for several grounding assemblies to just one.
Multiple wiring harnesses are attached to one centrally located grounding base with virtually no limit on the number of terminals that can be attached. A specially designed ring terminal provides for the installation of terminals that are stacked onto the grounding bolt and automatically lock into place. This prevents rotation and ensures the integrity of the pre-assembled harnesses while optimising the electrical and mechanical interfaces.
Unlike most grounding systems, which are limited by the number of parts that can be pre-assembled, the Delphi system is limited only by the length of the grounding bolt. One to five terminals can be assembled on a standard bolt but the length of the grounding bolt can vary based on OEM spec, the electrical harness design and the number of terminals to be attached.
