1. SCOPE

1.1. Content

This specification covers performance, tests and quality requirem ents for the Tyco Electronics Q uadrax

plug/receptacle crimp cable connectors and printed circuit board plug connectors used in aerospace

applications such as ARINC 600. These connectors consist of a screw m achined shell, m olded

dielec tric , and 4-four size 24 AWG pin and so ck et con tacts with a 2 m m ce nterline (pitch). They are

retained inside connector inserts with size 8 retention clips and are to be soldered to plated through

holes in printed circuit boards and are designed to be front release/front removable or rear release/rear

removable.

1.2. Qualification

4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS

4.1. Qualification Testing

A. Specimen Selection

Specimens shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Instruction Sheets and shall be

selected at rand om from cu rrent produc tion . Eac h test group s hall cons ist of a minimum of 5

specimens installed in ARINC connectors with printed circuit board type or crimp style Q uadrax

contacts.

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 ns re s ub mitted fo r qu a lification . T e s ting to

c o n f irm c o r re ctiv e a ctio n is re q uir e d b e f o r e re sub mittal.

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.
