QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
Qualification Testing
A.
Sam ple Selection
Sam ples shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Instruction Sheets and shall be selected
at random from current production. All test groups shall consist of a m inim um of 5 m ated pairs
crim ped to m axim um and m inim um gage wire. All contacts shall be crim ped to 3 foot lengths of
silver plated wire per MIL-W -16878/5 or MIL-W -22759.
B.
Test Sequence
Qualification inspection shall be verified by testing sam ples as specified in Figure 2.
4.2.
Requalification Testing
If changes significantly affecting form , fit or function are m ade to the product or m anufacturing process,
product assurance shall coordinate requalification testing, consisting of all or part of the original testing
sequence as determ ined by developm ent/product, quality and reliability engineering.
4.3.
Acceptance
Acceptance is based on verification that the product m eets the requirem ents of Figure 1. Failures
attributed to equipm ent, test setup or operator deficiencies shall not disqualify the product. W hen
product failure occurs, corrective action shall be taken and sam ples resubm itted for qualification.
Testing to confirm corrective action is required before resubm ittal.
4.4.
Quality Conform ance Inspection
The applicable quality inspection plan will specify the sam pling acceptable quality level to be used.
Dim ensional and functional requirem ents shall be in accordance with the applicable product drawing
and this specification.
