This standard establishes the test procedures and test sequences for evaluating compliant contact terminations. The test sequences defined herein shall be considered generic. Unless otherwise specified in the referencing document, this standard applies to the following types of contacts with compliant contact terminations.

— Contacts that are supplied as separate items, but may be inserted into a housing,

—free standing contacts that are not used in a housing.

Content

This standard shall not be substituted for any standard defining qualification of connectors or sockets. This document does not address other performance characteristics relative to connectors or sockets. Qualification testing described herein is specifically for the termination portion of a contact.

The qualification testing established herein is specifically for the compliant contact termination. It includes the assessment of the electrical characteristics between the compliant section and the plated-thru-hole of the test board. It also assesses the mechanical characteristics (insertion and retention forces) and the plated thru hole integrity (repair and conditioning) when this termination style is used. Figure 1 indicates when these tests shall be performed.
