Design and Construction
The compliant Pin shall be available in various above- and below-
board lengths suitable for use as 2,64mm (0.025 inch) square male disconnects or as similarly
configured wrappost for solderless wrapped connections, in accordance with MIL-STD-1130. The
pin shall incorporate a compliant staking area providing mechanical stability of the free-standing pin
in a plated-through-hole.
3.4.1
The pin shall perform within the requirements of this specification when
Installation
installed in a plated-through-hole having a finished diameter of 1,02mm ± , 08 ( 0.040 ±
0.003 inches).The pin shall accommodate any printed wiring board thickness from
(0.093. (3/32) to 3,18mm (0.125 (1/8) ) inches (nominal) and be capable of installation on
minimum centers of 2.54mm (0.100 inch) (see Paragraph 5.4 ).
3.4.2
3.4.3
Wrappost The wrappost geometry shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-1130. The tip
of the wrappost shall be beveled to facilitate insertion onto the bit of the wire wrap tooling.
Workmanship
Pins shall be uniform in quality and shall be free from burrs, scratches,
cracks, voids, chips, sharp edges, and other defects that will adversely affect life or
serviceability.

Electrical Characteristics
3.5.1
Low-Level Circuit Resistance The low-level circuit resistance between
the pin
and the plated-through-hole shall not exceed 0.2 milliohms when (0.5 milliohms after
environmental conditioning) when measured in accordance with MIL-STD-1344, Method
3002. The following details shall apply:
A. Test Current-100 ma, maximum (short-circuit)
B. Open Circuit voltage- 20 mv D.C., maximum
C. Method of Connection-attach current and voltage leads as shown in Figure 1

Mechanical Characteristics
3.6.1
Contact Retention A force of 44,40N (10 pounds) applied in either direction along the
axis of the pin shall not displace the pin from its applied position in the printed wiring
board. The force shall be applied at a crosshead speed of 2,54mm (1 inch) per minute
with the peak load maintained for 5 to 10 seconds.
A torque of 0.021 Nm (3.0 ounce-inches) applied to the tip of the
Wrappost Torque
installed wrappost shall not cause yielding of this member, when tested in accordance
with MIL-STD-202, Method 211, Condition E.
