Delphi Grounding Systems
Delphi Grounding Systems offer easy, one-step preassembly of
multiple wiring harnesses to one centrally located grounding base.
While most systems today are limited by the number of parts you
can preassemble, this simple, manual process allows the assembly
of multiple components (limited only by the length of the grounding
bolt). They have the added flexibility of allowing preassembly either
at the wiring harness plant or vehicle assembly line.
The systems feature an innovative ring terminal design that allows
the assembly of several stacked terminals onto one grounding bolt.
The terminals are secured into position utilizing their unique locking
and anti-rotation latches. These design features help to ensure
integrity of the preassembled harnesses and to optimize the
electrical and mechanical interfaces.
Delphi's grounding systems provide simplicity and flexibility. The
terminal has one standard base design with five different crimp
sizes offered. This allows unmatched flexibility in the build sequence,
since all assemblies use the one, common ring design. The
terminal's simple design allows production with high-speed stamping
processes, which helps improve manufacturing costs compared to
traditional systems.

Benefits
Improves buildability and system integrity
No chassis modification necessary for OEMs (original equipment
manufacturers)
Simple design can be produced with high-speed stamping
processes
Assembly without additional tools required
Assembly is in a clockwise direction and counter-clockwise is
possible
Common terminal design
Five crimp sizes available
Flexible assembly allows 1 to 5 terminals per standard bolt (bolt
length determines the limit)
Anti-rotation: between terminal-to-bolt and terminal-to-terminal
Defined position (angle) of ring terminals to bolt
Packaging comparable to conventional systems
System sealing with heat shrink
Typical Applications
Delphi Grounding Systems are designed for automotive and commercial vehicle interiors and industrial
applications, whenever multiple grounding points are required.
