ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
5.1
Contact Resistance
5.1.1
Low Level (LLCR)
Measurements shall be performed using a four-wire method per EIA 364-23. The maximum initial
contact resistance is 150 mΩ for backpanel and orthogonal configurations, and 255 mΩ for
coplanar configurations. The increase in resistance for any position shall not exceed 10 mΩ.
Make sure metal organizer has been removed for all signal contact measurements because
several positions are shorted together by the organizer.
The following details apply:
a.
b.
c.
5.1.2
Test voltage: 20 mV maximum open circuit
Test current: 100 mA maximum
Number of readings: 500 minimum
At Specified Current (power contacts only)
The contact resistance at a specified current shall not exceed 5.00mΩ initially or after mating
cycles and environmental exposure when measured in accordance with EIA 364-06. The test
current is as follows:
1 Column Fully Powered
6.00A
2 Adjacent Columns Fully Powered
4.50A
All Columns Fully Powered
2.25A
The metal organizer is to remain assembled for power contact evaluation. There is no
shorting between power contacts and the metal organizer.
5.2
Insulation Resistance
The insulation resistance of mated connectors shall not be less than 1000 MΩ after environmental
exposure when measured in accordance with EIA 364-21.
Make sure metal organizer has been
removed for all signal contact measurements because several positions are shorted together by
the organizer.
The following details shall apply:
a.
b.
c.
d.
Test voltage: 500 VDC
Electrification time: 60 seconds
Points of measurement: between closest adjacent contacts
Number of readings: 30 (10 readings per loose-piece connector set)
5.3
Dielectric Withstanding Voltage
There shall be no evidence of arc-over, insulation breakdown, or excessive leakage current (> 0.5 mA)
when the mated connectors are tested in accordance with EIA 364-20.
Make sure metal organizer has
been removed for all signal contact measurements because several positions are shorted together
by the organizer.
The following details shall apply:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
Test voltage: 500 VAC, 60Hz
Test duration: 60 seconds
Voltage application rate: 500 V per second
Points of Measurement: between closest adjacent contacts
Number of readings: 30 (10 readings per loose-piece connector set)

Test Specification: EIA 364-70
Ambient Temperature: 25˚C
Airflow: None (still-air)
Signal Contacts
•

•
The metal organizer must be removed for all signal contact measurements because
several positions are shorted together by the metal organizer.
Measure temperature versus applied current
All contacts powered
Thermocouple attachment: Mechanically attached to the base of the receptacle mating beams.
Thermocouple location: One thermocouple on a central position on each of the two middle
columns (two thermocouples per tested assembly)
Copper trace weight: 1oz on one external layer, connector side.
The temperature-rise above ambient shall not exceed 30˚C at 0.25A per contact for backpanel
and orthogonal configurations, and 0.20A per contact for coplanar configurations.

The metal organizer is to remain assembled for power contact evaluation. There is no
shorting between power contacts and the metal organizer.
Measure temperature versus applied current
Powered contact configurations to be qualified are represented in the supporting table.
Thermocouple attachment: Mechanically attached to the base of the receptacle mating beams.
Thermocouple location: One thermocouple on a central position of each column tested.
Columns with thermocouples are noted in the supporting table
Copper trace weight: 2oz on one external layer, opposite connector side.
The temperature-rise above ambient shall not exceed 30˚C at the current levels noted in the
supporting table. Actual output curves shall be plotted up to 50˚C T-rise.

Current-rating per column drops as the number of adjacent powered columns increases. This is
due to the cumulative heating effect of multiple columns powered in still-air test conditions.
