QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
Qualification Testing
A.
Sample Selection
Connector housings and contacts shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Instruction
Sheets. They shall be selected at random from current production. All test groups shall each
consist of a minimum of six double ended cable assemblies with appropriate shielding hardware.
The cable used shall be a single shielded jacketed cable with enough conductors that a minimum
of 75% of the contacts in the connector are terminated.
Each cable shall be 6 feet + .5 inches long as specified in the cable length figure of AMP Test
Specification 109-90.
All contacts shall be crimped in accordance with Application Specification 114-10000.
B.
C.
Test Sequence
Qualification inspection shall be verified by testing samples as specified in Figure 2.
Acceptance
1.
Test results from development on pre-qualification samples will be used to determine upper
and lower one-sided statistical tolerance limits for 99% reliability at 95% confidence, as
follows. Let Xbar and s denote the sample average and standard deviation, respectively, of
the test data. Let k denote the normal distribution one-sided tolerance factor for 95%
confidence and 99% reliability. The value of k varies with sample size. Values of k are given
in various tables, for example, NBS Handbook 91, Factors for One-Sided Tolerance Limits
for Normal Distribution. Suitability of the normal distribution for representing the data shall be
verified with normal probability plots, goodness of fit tests, etc.
Then the upper one-sided tolerance limit for 99% reliability at 95% confidence is given by
Xbar + ks. The interpretation of this tolerance limit is as follows: based on the test data, and
assuming a normal distribution for the test data, we can be 95% confident that 99% of the
population of values represented by the sample data will not exceed Xbar + ks. For any test
parameter for which there is specified an upper requirement which is not to be exceeded,
satisfactory performance of the product is achieved when the value of Xbar + ks does not
exceed the requirement value.

The lower one-sided tolerance limit for 95% confidence and 99% reliability is given by Xbar -
ks. This has a similar interpretation and corresponding application to lower requirement
values. All samples tested in accordance with this specification shall meet the stated
tolerance limit.
Failures attributed to equipment, test setup, or operator deficiencies shall not disqualify the
product. When product failure occurs, corrective action shall be taken and samples
resubmitted for qualification.
2.
4.2.
Requalification Testing
Requalification shall be established by the cognizant divisional engineering function and may consist of
all or any part of the overall qualification program provided that it is conducted within the required time
period.
4.3.
Quality Conformance Inspection
The applicable quality inspection plan will specify the sampling acceptable quality level to be used.
Dimensional and functional requirements shall be in accordance with the applicable product drawing
and this specification.
