1V5EPS ValeoReviewMPP

This document summarizes a review of Valeo's potential to provide power packs for Nexteer's SPEPS steering system. It discusses the program context, technical aspects of Nexteer's current power pack design, and opportunities to transfer the electronics integration to Valeo. Key points of discussion include cost reduction through a standardized design, maintaining Nexteer's electrical architecture, meeting thermal and integration requirements, and Valeo's experience with automotive electronics and safety systems.

Valeo review – Power Pack for SPEPS system
Context
 Program
- Global program : ~1,5 Mveh/year, 12Mveh LT, Europe (40%) / China (~40%) / Brazil (~20%)
- Very large variety of vehicles (gears boxes, subframe, track width…) drive diversity
- Nexteer incombent on 50% of the volume
 Maintream Electronic integration approach
- Power pack mechanization design in-house by Nexteer
- Power pack internal components designed by Nexteer and manufactured by built-to-print suppliers
- Power pack manufactured in-house by Nexteer
 Opportunities
- “Enlarge” pannel of supplier for built-to-print CCA
- “Transfer” mechanization of electronics (logic / power / EE interfaces) to CCA manufacturer
 Timing
- Sourcing : imminent
- DV freeze #1 : 1/6/15
- DV freeze #2 : 1/2/16
- PV built EU : 10/17
- PV built CH : 7/18
- SOP EU : 7/18
- SOP CH : 8/19 “Modular Power Pack”
• Motor
• Torque sensor
• Sealed unit
• Integrated harness
• CCA (Circuit Card Asm) – Including
motor shaft position sensing

Power Pack design
 Vehicle package did not allow Nexteer “standard” construction across the board
 Heavier vehicle / package space drive high current variant “Integration process @ Nexteer
• Press sensor magnet
• Position harness in housing
• Dispense thermal paste
• Screw CCA in place
Single layer 115A • Solder phase leads, header and
torque sensor interface
• Calibrate position sensor (test
points on CCA)
• Dispense thermal paste
• Screw cover in place

MPPV1
Base Controller single
layer

Double layer 115A

MPPV2
Base & Premium controller
dual layer
Double layer 140A

Points of discussion
 Opportunities
- Cost MPPV1B / MPPV2B as built to print units
- Investigate alternate CCA mechanization
 Maintaining Nexteer electrical architecture
 Using readily available bill of design and bill of process
 Allowing “one” power pack construction to fit all variants
 Allowing Nexteer to maintain existing power pack integration bill of process (ie “end mount” unit)
 Maintaining the ability to handle 115A & 140A variants
 Key areas of investigation
 Leadframe + PCB construction
 Harness integration versus connector header
 Motor / CCA interface
 Cover sealing / elimination of fasteners

 Challenges
- Reduce diversity : cost effective “one-fits-all”
- Electronics integration
 External / internal interfaces, Thermal dissipation…
- Global footprint
 Europe / China manufacturing (must have)
 Brazil manufacturing (preferred)
- FX exposure
- Quality targets

Questions
 Willingness to quote “built to print” electronics
 Background with safety critical electronics
 Typical techniques for “effective” integration of underhood electronics
 Typical leadtime to perform such an EE integration study
 Experience with Steering system electronics
 Bill of design for “hot at all time” power interfaces underhood
 Burn-in techniques to eliminate “infant” EE ppm
