4.5.10.2 Flat Conductor Cable Termination Tensile Strength (see 3.6.8.2). Terminated inserts
shall be placed in a tensile testing device, and an axial load as specified in Table IX
shall be applied for 10 seconds uniformly across the width of the cable. Cable shall be
gripped 3.0 ± 0.5 inch (76 ± 13 mm) from the termination area. The speed of head
travel of the tensile tester shall be 1.0 ± 0.25 inch (25 ± 6 mm) per minute.
4.5.11 Insert Retention (see 3.6.9). Terminated connector assemblies shall be tested in
accordance with MIL-STD-1344, Method 2010, except that the load shall be applied
only against the insert mating surface. The load shall be 200 psi (1.4 MPa), applied
evenly over the entire mating surface. If a tensile tester is used to apply the load, the
speed of head travel shall be 0.02 inch (0.5 mm) per minute.
4.5.12 Contact Retention (see 3.6.10). Terminated inserts shall be tested in accordance with
MIL-STD-1344, Method 2007. Axial load shall be 10 lbf (44 N) for size 22 contacts
and 5 lbf (22 N) for size 26 contacts, applied to mating ends of contacts.
4.5.13 Coupling Torque (see 3.6.11). Terminated plug and receptacle assemblies shall be
mated by alternately turning jackscrews; one-half turn at each side of the connector to a
torque of 9 lbf inch (1.0 N-m). The mated assembly shall then be visually inspected.
4.5.14 Coupling Overtorque (see 3.6.12). Terminated connector assemblies shall be mated to
a torque of 9 lbf-inch (1.0 N-m). The jack-screws shall then be torqued to 15 lbf-inch
(1.7 N-m), and the shells and mating hardware visually examined.
4.5.15 Maintenance Aging (see 3.6,13). Terminated connector assemblies shall be fully mated
and unmated three times. Using the tool specified in the applicable specification sheet,
removable inserts shall then be removed from the shells and installed in the shells ten
times. Connector assemblies shall then be fully mated and unmated three additional
times.
4.5.16 Random Vibration (see 3.6.14). Terminated, mated connector assemblies shall be
tested in accordance with MIL-STD-1344, Method 2005, Test Condition V1, Letter J.
Connectors shall be panel mounted by normal means, with at least 8 inches (200 mm)
of wire unsupported behind each connector. Specimens shall be subjected to vibration
for 8 hours in each major axis for a total of 24 hours. The discontinuity detector shall
be capable of detecting discontinuities of 100 nanoseconds and greater.
4.5.17 Mechanical Shock (see 3.6,15). Terminated, mated connectors shall be tested in
accordance with MIL-STD-1344, Method 2004, Test Condition D. The connectors
shall be panel mounted by normal means, with at least 8 inches (200 mm) of wire
unsupported behind each connector. The discontinuity detector shall be capable of
detecting discontinuities of 100 nanoseconds and greater.
