max-min temperature for car components
max-min temperature for car components
(OP)
I have been asked to design a car plastic component which will be positioned in the cockpit but exposed to direct sun lightning.
Being a first timer, I would like to know if there are any automotive standards on max and min temperature to be espected for a component positioned in the cockpit under direct sun.
Thank you for the help

RE: max-min temperature for car components
Low temperature requirement is usually stated as -40 C. I am not aware of any general industry standard or guide on temperature requirements. Your customer should have provided a document that defines the performance requirements, including min and max use temperature. I suggest consulting with someone in your organization about the typical temperature range to which components are engineered.

By the way, I believe you work for the Australian arm of this corporation...

Got this from some OEM spec.
FYI.

I work for a Japanese OEM.
We measured in Okinawa, in the southern most tip of Japan, 110 degrees celsuis on top of the IP. The climate is comparable to Florida/Calif.

-40 C is almost universal as a low end.

You have essentially corroborated statements above of -40C as a lower limit.

Are underhood temperature requirments higher or lower?
