5.4.2 Workmanship. Connectors shall be uniform in quality and shall be free from burns, scratches,
cracks, voids, chips, blisters, pin holes, sharp edges, and other defects that will adversely affect
life or serviceability.
5.4.3 Interchangeability. The connector shall be capable of mating with corresponding components
from any source, provided those components are of the same contact population spacing, and
guide post polarization.
6.0 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
6.1 Current Rating. The maximum current rating of the connector shall be 3.0 amperes D.C. The mated
maximum current rating shall be 3.0 amperes D.C. or less depending on the current rating characteristics
for the mated connector.
6.2 Insulation Resistance. The insulation resistance of the unmated and unterminated connector shall not be
less than 5000 Megohms after exposure to the humidity environment described in Para. 8.1 when
measured in accordance with MIL-STD-1344, Method 3003. The following details shall apply:
a. Test condition - 500 volts D.C. applied for (1) minute.
b. Points of Measurement - Between individually paired adjacent contacts.
6.3 Dielectric Withstanding Voltage. There shall be no evidence of arc-over, insulation breakdown or
excessive leakage current (> 1 milliampere) when the unmated connectors are tested in accordance with
MIL-STD-1344, Method 3001. The following details shall apply:
a. Test Potential - 750 Volts RMS 60 HZ at sea level pressure.
b. Test duration - 60 seconds
c. Points of measurement – between individually paired adjacent and opposing contacts.
6.4 Capacitance. The capacitance between pairs of adjacent or opposing contacts in an unmated connector
shall not exceed 2.0 picofarads when measured in accordance with MIL-STD-202, Method 305, at a
frequency of 100 Kilohertz.
6.5 Low-Level Circuit Resistance. The low-level circuit resistance between the compliant press-fit pins and
the plated-through hole, when the connector assembly is pressed on a printed circuit board in
accordance with Para. 9.9, shall not exceed 0.2 milliohms (0.5 milliohms after environmental
conditioning), when measured in accordance with MIL-STD-1344, Method 3002. The following details
shall apply:
a. Test conducted on the pins at the extreme end of the insulator.
b. Test current – 100 MA, maximum (short-circuit)
c. Open circuit Voltage – 20 MV D.C. Maximum
d. Method of Connection - Attach current and voltage leads as shown in Figure 1.
e. Test Conducted on PC boards, with the maximum plated through hole tolerance. (Ref. Para. 9.5)
