4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
4.1. Qualification Testing
A. Specimen Selection
Connector housings and contacts shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Instruction
Sheets and selected at random from current production. T est groups shall consist of the following:
1. Tes t G roups 1 and 3 sha ll co nsist of 10, size 1 (9 pos ition ) crimp-s na p con nec tor m ated pairs
(plugs without grounding indents), fully loaded with crim p-snap contacts with insulation
support and crimped to 24 AWG wire. Group 1 uses gold flash and 30 gold contacts. G roup 3
uses only gold flash contacts. Cable clamps are to be used on all connectors. During vibration
and physical shock tests, screwlocks and m ale screws are to be used to secure the
connectors.
2. Tes t G roup 2 shall cons ist of 15 m ated pairs, size 5 (50 p os ition ) crimp-s na p con nec tors. Five
m ated pairs are loaded with 18 AWG wires, 5 with 24 AWG wire and 5 with 28 AWG wire.
The plugs have no grounding indents, and the wires are crimped to contacts without
in s u la tio n s up po r t. T h e c o ntac ts a r e g o ld f la s h p la te d . Ca b le c lamp s a r e to b e u se d o n a ll
connectors.
3. Test Group 4 shall consist of 30 each of contacts with insulation support crimped to 24, 26,
and 28 AWG wire. The 18, 20 and 22 AWG wires are crimped to contacts without insulation
support. The contacts are gold flash plated.
4. Test Group 5 shall consist of 5 of each size of mated pairs fully loaded with contacts. T he
plugs have grounding indents. The contacts are gold flash plated.
B. Test Sequence
Q ualification inspection shall be verified by testing specimens as specified in Figure 2.
4.2. Requalification T esting
If changes significantly affecting form , fit or function are m ade to the product or m anufacturing process,
product assurance shall coordinate requalification testing, consisting of all or part of the original testing
sequence as determ ined by developm ent/product, quality and reliability engineering.
4.3. Acceptance
Acceptance is based on verification that the product m eets the requirements of Figure 1. Failures
attributed to equipm ent, test setup or operator deficiencies shall not disqualify the product. If product
fa ilure o c cu rs , c orr e ctive ac tion s ha ll be ta k e n a n d s p e cime n s re s u bmitted fo r q u a lific a tion . T es ting to
c o n f irm c o r rectiv e a ction is r e q u ir e d b e f o re r e s u b mitt a l.
4.4. Quality Conformance Inspection
The applicable quality inspection plan shall specify the sam pling acceptable quality level to be used.
Dim ensional and functional requirements shall be in accordance with the applicable product drawing
and this specification.
