5. Notes on connectors
The connections developed by RB are tested and approved by the
development departments responsible. In addition, evaluations of
the connection systems are conducted within the scope of equipment
and system testing.
For connectors from outside sources (connector is prescribed by the
customer --> no RB-connector), the approval testing must be
conducted by the supplier of the
connectors and documented within the scope of evidential testing
(Test Reports). In addition, these connectors are subjected to a
reduced evaluation (e.g. abrasion, contact, sealing....) within
the scope of equipment testing.
As a matter of principle, the connector must comply with the
control unit specification.
