3.6.5 Durability. After 100 mating cycles of the connector and an appropriately populated header
consisting of properly configured (see Figure 2) 0.025 inch square or round pins, the total
mating and unmating force shall not exceed 375 grams times the number of terminals (see
3.6.1), the individual contact withdrawal force shall be not less than 30 grams (see 3.6.2)
and the contact resistance shall not exceed 25 milliohms (see 3.5.2).
3.6.6 Mechanical Latch Retention. Total Force required to dislodge the latch only of an
unloaded housing with the appropriate mating header shall be 4lbs. Minimum.
3.6.7 Mechanical Latch Normal Force. Force required to depress the mechanical latch .040
of an inch. Is 3 lb. Maximum at ambient temperature. (See Figure 6)
3.6.8 Latch Durability. Latch to be depressed .040 of inch and return to it’s original position +/-
.010 after initial and 25 cycles at ambient temperature and at –65 C degrees. There shall
be no evidence of cracking of the latch after cycling.
3.7 Environmental Conditions
3.7.1 Thermal Shock (see 5.2). After exposure of the mated connector and header to alternate
periods of extreme high and low temperature, there shall be no evidence of cracking or
crazing of the insulator or other physical damage to the connector; the dielectric
withstanding voltage of an unterminated connector shall be not less than 1000 volts RMS,
60 Hz (see 3.5.5). The test shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-202, Method 107; the
following details shall apply:
a. Test Condition - B (5, 1-hour cycles)
b. Temperature Range - -65oC to +105oC
c. Time at each Temperature - 30 minutes, minimum
d. Transfer Time - 30 seconds, maximum
3.7.2 Humidity. Within one (1) hour after exposure to a high humidity environment, the
insulation resistance of an unterminated connector shall be not less than 5000 megohms
(see 3.5.4); the low level circuit (contact) resistance of the mated connector and header
shall not exceed 20 milliohms (see 3.5.3). The test shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-
202, Method 103; the following details shall apply:
a. Test Condition - B (96 hours)
b. Chamber Temperature - +40oC
c. Relative Humidity - 90%
3.7.3 High Temperature Life (see 5.2). After exposure of the unterminated connector to a high
temperature operating environment, the insulation resistance shall be not less than 5000
megohms (see 3.5.4); the contact resistance of the mated connector and header shall not
exceed 20 milliohms (see 3.5.2). The test shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-202,
Method 108; the following details shall apply:
a. Chamber Temperature - +85oC, (+105oC, unterminated connector only)
