4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
4.1. Qualification Testing
A. Sample Selection
Samples shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Instruction Sheets and shall be selected
at random from current production. Test group 1 shall consist of: 5, 6 position standard samples
with .045 inch square posts. All samples shall be terminated to the maximum wire size and
mounted on printed circuit boards. Test group 2 shall consist of: 3, 10 position standard samples
terminated to 24 AWG wire and mounted on printed circuit boards; and 3, 10 position standard
samples terminated to 18 AWG wire and mounted on printed circuit boards. Test group 3 shall
consist of 15 contacts per wire size.
B. Test Sequence
Qualification inspection shall be verified by testing samples as specified in Figure 2.
4.2. Requalification Testing
If changes significantly affecting form, fit or function are made to the product or manufacturing process,
product assurance shall coordinate requalification testing, consisting of all or part of the original testing
sequence as determined by development/product, quality and reliability engineering.
4.3. Acceptance
Acceptance is based on verification that the product meets the requirements of Figure 1. Failures
attributed to equipment, test setup or operator deficiencies shall not disqualify the product. When
product failure occurs, corrective action shall be taken and samples resubmitted for qualification.
Testing to confirm corrective action is required before resubmittal.
4.4. Quality Conformance Inspection
The applicable quality inspection plan will specify the sampling acceptable quality level to be used.
Dimensional and functional requirements shall be in accordance with the applicable product drawing
and this specification.

(a) To determine acceptable current carrying capacity for percentage connector loading and wire
NOTE gage indicated, use the Multiplication Factor (F) from the above chart and multiply it times the
Base rated Current for a single circuit at the maximum ambient operating temperature shown
in Figure 4A.
(b) The F-factor for the 50% loading condition is based on the temperature rise data where every
other position was energized. The F-factor will change if different positions are energized
since the loading density calculation would be different.
