MARC 73 Series Connectors
Service and Performance Data
MARC 73 Series Connectors meet or exceed the performance requirements of specification MIL-C-38999. Your sales rep-
resentative or field engineer can supply detailed, cross-reference information. MARC 73 Series Connectors meet the fol-
lowing selected test parameters as specified below:
DESCRIPTION
Contact Retention
TEST REQUIREMENTS
Contacts are to withstand 10 lbs [44.48 N] axial load without axial displacement
in excess of 0.012 [0.30] or damage to contacts or inserts when the axial load is
applied to the mating end of the contacts in unmated plugs and receptacles at a
rate of approximately 1 lb/sec. [4.45 N].
The potential drop across normally mated contacts shall not exceed 25 mv
under room ambient and high temperature service conditions when measured
as specified in MIL C-39029 with maximum rated current.
No evidence of dielectric breakdown or flashover when mated and unmated
plugs are subjected to 645 and 180 volts RMS, respectively, at altitudes up to
70,000 feet [21,336 m] and 1000 volts RMS at sea level.
Insulation resistance of mated plugs and receptacles shall be 5000 megohms,
minimum, at room temperature and 1000 megohms, minimum, at 257°F
[+125°C] when measured per MIL-STD 202, Method 302, Test Condition B.
Plugs and receptacles shall withstand up to 500 cycles of engagement and
separation without detrimental damage to plugs or receptacles or not satisfying
subsequent tests.
Mating and unmating forces shall not exceed 27 Ibs [120.10 N] maximum,
(15 shell size) after fully wired plugs and receptacles are immersed for 20 hours,
each, in hydraulic fluid (MIL-H-5606) and high temperature lubricating oil
(MIL-L-9236) followed by a one-hour dry.
Mated connectors shall show no circuit interruptions greater than one microsec-
ond during 12 hours vibration to include six sweeps in each axis at extreme tem-
peratures of -85°F [-65°C] and 257°F [+125°C] per MIL-STD-202, Method 204,
Test Condition D. Post inspection shall show no detrimental cracking, breaking,
or loosening of parts.
The insulation resistance of mated connectors shall exceed 1000 megohms after
subjection to moisture resistance testing per MIL-STD-202, Method 106.
The insulation resistance of wired and mated connectors shall be 5000
megohms, minimum, and there shall be no flashover or breakdown at test voltage
of 1000 volts RMS after the third cycle and while immersed in 5% salt water
solution at 68°F [20°C] and room ambient pressure at 68°F [20°C].
Unmated plugs and receptacles shall show no excessive corrosion which
would detrimentally affect the electrical and mechanical performance of the
connectors after subjection to 24 hours exposure to salt spray atmosphere per
MIL-STD-202, Method 101.
