3. TEST METHODS
3.1. Initial Examination of Product
Where specified, specimens were visually examined for evidence of physical damage detrimental to
product performance.
3.2. LLCR
LLCR measurements were made using a 4 terminal measuring technique. The test current was
maintained at 100 milliamperes with a 20 millivolt maximum open circuit voltage (Figure 5).

LLCR Test Configuration
3.3. Current Cycling
Specimens connected in a series circuit were subjected to 100% of rated current for 250 cycles
consisting of current ON for 15 minutes and current OFF for 15 minutes.
3.4. Contact Retention
The force necessary to dislodge the terminal was measured using a tensile/compression device with a
free floating fixture and a rate of travel of 25.4 mm [1 in] per minute.
3.5. Thermal Shock
Specimens were subjected to 25 cycles of thermal shock with each cycle consisting of 30 minute dwells
at -40 and 125°C with 1 minute transition between temperatures.
