Supplie

34、r catalogs andliterature should be consulted for details.8. Physical Properties8.1 The physical size of connectors conforming to thisspecification shall fall within the limits given in Table 2 for alldimensions indicated in that table. All other dimensions and alldetails of construction shall be det

35、ermined by a manufacturersspecific design.9. Test Methods9.1 Test Frequency:9.1.1 The following tests shall be conducted as eitherQualification or Production tests in Table 4.9.1.2 Tests listed as “Qualification” tests shall be initiallyperformed by the manufacturer to demonstrate conformance tothis

36、 specification, and then periodically, as determined by themanufacturer, to verify that the connectors continue to meet therequirements of this specification.9.2 Contact Resistance Test:9.2.1 A direct current of 1.0 A from a constant currentsource shall be passed through one half (for example, thepo

37、sitive leg) of a mated connector pair (see Fig. 2). The voltagedrop across that leg of the mated pair shall be measured andrecorded. The procedure shall be repeated on the same leg ofthe mated connector pair but with reversed polarity. Theaverage of the two measured voltage drops shall be calculated

38、to eliminate thermoelectrical effects. The contact resistance inohms is then computed by dividing the average drop in volts bythe current in amperes.9.2.2 The entire procedure of 9.2.1 is then repeated for theother half (negative leg) of the mated connector pair.9.2.3 The contact resistance value fo

39、r each leg must bewithin the limit given in Table 1.9.2.4 Alternate test methods may be used if agreeable toboth the supplier and the purchaser. In such event, the testmethod to be used shall be identified.9.3 Thermal Gradient Test:9.3.1 Apparatus:9.3.1.1 Heated ChamberObtain or construct a chamberm

40、ade of suitable heat-resisting materials. Use Fig. 3 as ageneral guide for construction. A controlled heat source otherthan light bulbs may be used.9.3.1.2 Test Panel, fabricated and fitted similar to thatshown in Fig. 3. The small, removable central panel throughwhich the plug and jack are mated sh

41、ould be made ofelectrically insulating, heat-resistant material not more than132-in. (0.8-mm) thick. This central panel should be somewhatlarger than the outside dimensions of the connectors to betested. The panel is pierced with two clearance holes throughwhich the connector prongs pass during the

42、test. A third hole isprovided alongside the connector location through which asingle length of duplex thermocouple wire can pass.9.3.2 Test Specimen Preparation:9.3.2.1 For uniformity of test results, use 24 AWG (0.020-in. or 0.5-mm diameter) thermocouple wire or extension wireof the type correspond

43、ing to the connector to be tested. Largerdiameter wire will produce higher values of measured testdifference, while smaller diameter wire will produce lowervalues.9.3.2.2 Cut (in half) a continuous length of appropriateduplex thermocouple wire. Strip all cut ends. Form a singlejunction by welding fo

44、ur conductors at one end into a commonbead. Cut one of the two wire lengths at a distance of 4 to 6 in.(10 to 15 cm) from the junction bead. Strip these newly cutends, and connect the jack connector being tested to the shortwire length extending from the weld bead. Then connect theseparate segment o

45、f wire to the plug connector being tested, asshown in Fig. 4.9.3.2.3 Assemble the connectors in the removable test panelby pushing the plug prongs through two holes in the test paneland mating the jack to it as shown in Fig. 3. Pass the uncutlength of wire from the junction bead through the third ho

46、le inthe test panel.9.3.3 Test Procedure:TABLE 4 Qualification TestsParagraph Number Test Description Type9.2 Contact Resistance Qualification9.3 Thermal Gradient Qualification9.4 Insulation Resistance Qualification9.5 Disengagement Force Qualification9.6 Repeated Cycle Test Qualification9.7 Service

47、 Life Test QualificationE1684 1039.3.3.1 Install the test panel containing the previously wiredconnectors in an opening in the test chamber so that thejunction bead and jack connector are inside the heated chamberas shown in Fig. 3. Stabilize the test chamber at 150 6 10F(65 6 5C) and allow the syst

48、em to come to thermal equilib-rium.9.3.3.2 Connect an instrument, capable of resolving 0.2F(0.1C) or less, to the wire pair passing through the hole in thetest panel, and measure and record the chamber temperature.Reconnect the instrument to the wire pair extending from theconnector plug under test.

49、 Measure and record the new reading.The difference between the first reading, taken directly, and thesecond, taken through the connector pair under test, is the testdifference.9.3.3.3 The test difference expresses quantitatively the ef-fect of the connector pairs presence in the circuit under the testconditions. The test difference shall not be greater than thevalue given in Table 1 for qualification under this specification.9.4 Insulation Resistance Test:9.4.1 Insulation resistance between legs shall be measuredwith a megohm meter using a voltage b
