QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
Qualification Testing
A.
Sample Selection
Connector housings and contacts shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Instruction
Sheets and shall be selected at random from current production. Test group 1 shall consist of
three, 24 position housings fully loaded with contacts crimped on 16 AWG wire and three, 24
position housings fully loaded with contacts crimped on 18 AWG wire. Test group 2 shall consist
of three, 24 position housings fully loaded with contacts crimped 14 AWG wire and three, 24
position housings fully loaded with contacts crimped on 18 AWG wire. Test group 3 shall consist
of five, 24 position housings selectively loaded with contacts crimped on any size wire. Test group
4 shall consist of five, 24 position housings randomly loaded with 30 contacts crimped on 14 AWG
wire. All contacts shall be mated with a tinned male spade, .020/.025 by .125 inch, where
specified.
B.
Test Sequence
Qualification inspection shall be verified by testing samples as specified in Figure 2.
4.2.
Requalification Testing
If changes significantly affecting the form, fit or function are made to the product or 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 re-submittal.
4.4.
Quality Conformance Inspection
The applicable quality inspection plan will specify sampling acceptable quality level to be used.
Dimensional and functional requirements shall be in accordance with the applicable product drawing
and this specification.
4.5.
Certification
Product is recognized under Component Recognition Program of Underwriter's Laboratories Inc., File
Number E28476 and certified by Canadian Standards Association, File Number LR16455.
