  2. Fishtailing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishtailing

    Fishtailing is a vehicle handling problem which occurs when the rear wheels lose traction, resulting in oversteer. This can be caused by low- friction surfaces (sand, gravel, rain, snow, ice, etc.). Rear-drive vehicles with sufficient power can induce this loss of traction on any surface, which is called power-oversteer .

  3. Understeer and oversteer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Understeer_and_oversteer

    This sensitivity is defined for a level road for a given steady state operating condition by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in document J670 [1] and by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in document 8855. [2] Whether the vehicle is understeer or oversteer depends on the rate of change of the understeer angle.

  4. Skid (automobile) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skid_(automobile)

    fishtailing, where the vehicle yaws back and forth across the direction of motion. spin or spinout where a vehicle rotates in one direction during the skid. understeer and oversteer where front or rear wheels lose traction during cornering, causing a vehicle to follow a larger or smaller turning radius.

  5. Trailer connectors in North America - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailer_connectors_in...

    Flat 5-pin connector (Towing vehicle side) This contact is not as common, but is compatible with the 4-pin connector in the way that a towing vehicle with this connector can be connected to a trailer with the 4-pin flat plug. The extra connection is often used to block the surge brakes when reversing with the trailer. #

  6. Lift-off oversteer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift-off_oversteer

    Lift-off oversteer (also known as trailing-throttle oversteer, throttle off oversteer, or lift-throttle oversteer) is a form of sudden oversteer.While cornering, a driver who closes the throttle (by lifting a foot off the accelerator, hence the name), usually at a high speed, can cause such sudden deceleration that the vertical load on the tires shifts from rear to front, in a process called ...

  7. SAE J3068 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAE_J3068

    Type 2 connector socket The J3068 connector is mechanically identical to the Type 2 connector , because it makes direct references to IEC 62196 -2 and -3. [ 4 ] Additionally, SAE J3068 supports voltage ratings which align with North American grid voltages and EVSE standards.

  8. Floppy disk drive interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floppy_disk_drive_interface

    The de facto standard for 3.5 inch drives uses a 34-pin header mating to an IDC Berg connector, collectively slightly smaller than the PCB edge pin connector and mating socket used for the 5¼ inch standard but with the same 34 pin definitions as the 5¼ inch standard. [7]

  9. Bent pin analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bent_Pin_Analysis

    Figure 1 – Essential Connector Parts for Bent Pin Analysis. In most pairs of mating connectors, one connector is fitted with an array of socket contacts and the other connector has a corresponding array of pin (or other shaped) contacts, as illustrated in Figure 1. These are sometimes called female and male contacts.
