V3d Product Specification, Version 2.06
5.3.3 Connector Mating Durability
All connectors shall have a minimum 100 mating cycles rating.
5.3.4 Battery Pack Connector
The battery pack connector is internal to the V3d enclosure. It connects the battery pack power
and ground leads to the power input circuitry of the V3d, and to the internal Power I/O
Connector harness (specifically, to the charging power and charging ground pins). As the
battery pack may be replaced time to time, the battery pack connector must be accessible with
the cover removed. Also it is desired that the connector mate is to be mounted directly to the
PCB to enable simple but secure connect and disconnect.
The connector uses a combination of pins to match board circuitry and harnesses to battery
type: sealed lead acid (SLA), Lithium Ion (Li-ion) and Lithium Thionyl Chloride (LiSOCl2).
5.3.5 Connector Caps
Caps for the key-switch and power connectors are to be included with initial shipment. The four
RF connectors are shipped open.
5.4 Environmental Limits
Note: All requirements in this section are expected to be met by the V3d product version, based
on component ratings and product design, but will not be verified in the DVT.
5.4.1 General Limits
The V3d shall conform to appropriate sections of the ORBCOMM Subscriber Communicator
Standards and Specifications, the International Electrotechnical Commission and the SAE
J1455 Joint SAE/TMC Recommended Environmental Practices for Electronic Equipment Design
(Heavy-Duty Trucks). Specific requirements are defined in the sections below.
5.4.2 Operating Temperature
The V3d shall operate from -40 °C to +85 °C. The lower temperature limit shall be verified per
MIL-STD-810E, Method 502.3, Procedure II, 4-hour test duration. The upper temperature limit
shall be verified per MIL-STD-810E, Method 501.3, Procedure II, 3-diurnal cycle test duration.
5.4.3 Operational Shock
The V3d while operating shall withstand half sine acceleration of 30 g (300 m/s
2
) shock, 18 ms
duration in accordance with IEC 68-2-27 Ea.
5.4.4 Operational Vibration
The V3d while operating shall withstand 3 g (30 m/s
2
) vibration for 10 frequency sweeps from 25
to 500 Hz, as tested according to IEC 68-2-6 (test Fc).
