This standard establishes a test method to determine whether a plastic electrical connector or socket housing generates corrosive elements when in contact with metallic parts or components.

NOTE — This procedure is not intended to be used for qualitative analysis of corrosion products.

This corrosiveness may be a result of:

— Additives and/or filler material contained within the plastic formulation,

— Inadequate cure or post-cure of the material that can result in outgassing of the material.
