QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
Qualification Testing
A.
Sample Selection
Connectors housings and contacts shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Instruction
Sheets. They shall be selected at random from current production. Test groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 shall
consist of 37 position, all plastic plugs and receptacles; gold flash duplex plated contacts.
Contacts in these groups shall be terminated as follows: 20 and 22 AWG to the number 3 slot, 24
and 26 AWG to the number 2 slot, and 30 AWG to the number 1 slot. Test group 5 shall consist of
25 position, all plastic plugs and receptacles; gold flash duplex plated contacts. Contacts in group
5 shall be terminated as follows: 22 AWG to the number 3 slot, 22 and 26 AWG to the number 2
slot, 26 and 30 AWG to the number 1 slot. Test group 6 shall consist of 37 position, all plastic
plugs and receptacles; gold flash duplex plated contacts. Contacts in group 6 shall be terminated
as follows: 20 and 22AWG to the number 3 slot. Test group 7 shall consist of 9 position, all plastic
plugs and gold flash duplex plated F crimp replacement contacts. Contacts to be terminated as
follows: 20 and 22 AWG to the number 3 slot, 22, 24 and 26 AWG to the number 2 slot, 26, 28
and 30 AWG to the number 1 slot. F crimp contacts to be terminated to 18, 20 and 22 AWG wire
and 22, 24 and 26 AWG wire as applicable. Test group 8 shall consist of 9, 15, 25 and 37 position
plugs and receptacles; all plastic and metal shall (any plating or slot size) un-terminated.
B.
Test Sequence
Qualification inspection shall be verified by testing samples as specified in Figure 2.
4.2.
Requalification Testing
If changes significantly affecting form, fit, or function are made to the product or to the manufacturing
process, product assurance shall coordinate requalification testing, consisting of all or part of the
original testing sequence as determined by development/product, quality, and reliability
engineering.
4.3.
Acceptance
Acceptance is based on verification that the product meets the requirements of Figure 1. 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.
Testing to confirm corrective action is required before resubmittal.
4.4.
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.
