Banned/Restricted Substances
All product where the part number ends in “LF” meet the European Union directives and other
country regulations as described in GS-22-008. The part numbers that do not end in “LF” meet
all regulations except for Pb in SnPb plating, if available. Tin plated “LF” product has 100% tin
plating in the interface and has not been tested for whisker growth in all interconnect
environments.
3.6
Manufacturing Processability
This product is not designed to be exposed to manufacturing solder processes.
4.0
PERFORMANCE PARAMETERS:
The crimp to wire pin shall meet the mechanical, electrical and environmental parameters specified herein
when mated with a Mini PV ™contact. Test shall be performed in accordance with MIL-STD-202 where
applicable.
4.1
Mechanical
4.1.1
Crimp Tensile Strength: Pins crimped to wires shall be placed in a standard tensile
testing machine, and an axial load applied. The wire shall not pull out of the wire barrel,
nor break, nor become distorted to such an extent that it is unusable before the minimum
strength is reached. Minimum tensile strength being 75% of wire tensile strength.
4.2
Electrical
4.2.1
Initial Contact Resistance: D.C. resistance shall be measured using the four point
Voltage Current Method. The ohmmeter used must have an accuracy of at least +/- 0.5
milliohms. The digital readout shall be capable of 3 digit display with accuracy of +/- 1 in
the last digit. the probe shall provide suitable metal-to-metal contact. The contact
resistance, when measured as described above and mated with a Mini PV,™ shall be 3.0
milliohms maximum initial and 5.0 milliohms maximum after aging.
Current Carrying Capacity: A pin mated with a Mini PV™ contact and subjected to 3
Amperes continuous load shall show no more than 30oC temperature rise above
ambient.
4.2.3
Wear Test: All pins cycled 100 times with a Mini PV™ contact shall meet the initial
contact resistance as described in 4.2.1.
Temperature Cycling: All pins submitted to temperature cycling test MIL-STD-202C
Method 102A shall be tested and shall meet contact resistance as described in 4.2.1.
Flowers of Sulphur Aging Test: Unmated pins shall be placed in an enclosure containing
flowers of sulphur and water for 10 days. Temperature within the enclosure shall be
150oF +/- 10oF and 80% relative humidity. After aging, terminals shall be stabilized at
room temperature and subjected to 5 cycles of mating with Mini PV's™. Pins shall then
be tested for and meet contact resistance as described in 4.2.1.

4.2.6
Setup for Flowers of Sulphur Test using an enclosure with a volume of approximately
32000 cubic centimeters, 100 grams of sulphur and 500 milliliters of distilled water. A
quantity of 345 grams of anhydrous sodium carbonate shall be added to the distilled
water. Arrangement of material during test shall be as follows:
4.2.6.1
Water on the bottom in a 150 millimeter diameter by 75 millimeter high
beaker.
Sulphur in a 150 milliliter beaker placed inside 150 millimeter x 75 millimeter
beaker.
Test samples placed on a rack suspended over the sulphur and facing the
water.
4.2.6.2
4.2.6.3
4.2.7
Aging Test: After the initial contact resistance test, contaminate each pin with one of the
following contaminants:
a. synthetic dust - formulation II
b. artificial perspiration
Contacts contaminated with a and b must be tested in the unmated condition and
subjected to 50 cycles in the following environment.
1. 50o +_ 10oF 50% maximum R.H.
2. 170o +_ 10oF 92% +_ 3% R.H.
3. 170o +_ 10oF 50% R.H.
4 hours
4 hours
16 hours
After the 50 cycles have been completed, the pins shall be stabilized to room temperature
(70oF +_ 10oF). Pins shall then be subjected to 15 cycles (one cycle equals one insertion
and one withdrawal) with a Mini PV ™contact. Resistance shall not exceed 5.0 milliohms
when measured as described in 4.2.1.
