Specimens shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Instruction Sheets and shall be
selected at random from current production. Test groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 shall each consist of a
minimum of 5 connector assemblies with a minimum of 30 data points. Test group 5 shall consist
of a minimum of 5 headers with a minimum of 30 header posts. Test group 6 shall consist of 25
specimens of each wire size.
B. Test Sequence
Qualification inspection shall be verified by testing specimens as specified in Figure 2.
4.2. Requalification Testing
If changes significantly affecting form, fit or function are made to the product or manufacturing process,
product assurance shall coordinate requalification testing, consisting of all or part of the original testing
sequence as determined by development/product, quality and reliability engineering.
4.3. Acceptance
Acceptance is based on verification that the product meets the requirements of Figure 1. Failures
attributed to equipment, test setup or operator deficiencies shall not disqualify the product. If product
failure occurs, corrective action shall be taken and specimens resubmitted for qualification. Testing to
confirm corrective action is required before resubmittal.
4.4. Quality Conformance Inspection
The applicable quality inspection plan will specify the sampling acceptable quality level to be used.
Dimensional and functional requirements shall be in accordance with the applicable product drawing
and this specification.
