MECHANICAL TESTS (continued)
Test Ref. Test data Requirement
Effectiveness of polarization
On a receptacle housing and tab housing connector
couple, with different coding, gradually apply a force, at
a velocity of 50 mm/min, until a value of 200 N is
reached.
Maintain for 10 s. Release.
Connectors cannot be coupled
Activation of secondary lock
with no contact in housing
Apply a force across the entire surface of the lock, until
it clicks fully into locked position
15 N ≤ F ≤ 30 N
15 N ≤ F ≤ 35 N for X-1379658-Y
Effectiveness of detection of
contact not properly inserted
Apply a force across the entire surface of the lock
All contacts properly inserted: F ≤ 40 N
1 contact not properly inserted: F ≥ 60 N
Resistance to pulling out the
secondary lock (secondary lock
inactive)
Apply a force in the direction opposite to the closing of
the secondary lock
F ≥ 17 N
Force to open secondary lock
Apply a force in the direction opposite to the closing of
the secondary lock
F ≤ 20 N
Mating and unmating force for
female/male housings
On a receptacle housing / tab housing couple, apply a
force at a velocity of 50 mm/min
F ≤ 60 N until 24 positions connector
F ≤ 70 N for 40 positions connector
Effectiveness of connector
locking
Gradually apply a force, at a velocity of 50 mm/min,
until a value of 160 N is reached.
Maintain for 10 s. Release.
No defect affecting proper operation
Unmating force on
receptacle/tab housings
On a receptacle housing / tab housing couple, apply a
force at a velocity of 50 mm/min
