ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
6.1
Contact Resistance, Low Level (LLCR) - The initial low level contact resistance shall not exceed 25
milliohms (40 milliohms max. after environmental exposure) when measured in accordance with MIL-
STD-202G, Method 307 .The following details shall apply:
a. Method of Connection - attach current and voltage leads as shown in figure 1.
b. Test Voltage: 20 millivolts DC maximum open circuit.
c. Test Current: Not to exceed 100 milliamperes.
Insulation Resistance - The initial insulation resistance of mated connectors shall be not less than
5,000 megohms (1,000 megohms after environmental exposure) when measured in accordance with
MIL-STD-202G, Method 302. The following details shall apply:
a. Test Voltage: 500 volts DC.
b. Electrification Time : 2 minutes.
c. Point of Measurement : Between adjacent contacts.
Dielectric Withstanding Voltage - There shall be on evidence of arc over, insulation breakdown, or
current leakage in excess of 1 milliampere when the mated connectors are tested in accordance with
MIL-STD-202G, Method 301. The following details shall apply :
a. Test Voltage: 1,000 volts RMS, 60 Hz.
b. Test Duration: 1 minute
c. Test Condition: (760 torr - sea level).
Current Rating - The temperature rise above ambient shall not exceed 30°C at any point in system
when all contacts are powered at 3 amperes. Or the connectors must be able to pass 5A permanently
loaded all contacts at 70°C with a max temp of the connector of 125°C.
The following details shall apply with IEC 512-3 test 5a.

MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS
7.1
Total mating/unmating force - The total force to mate the male plug and female receptacle (or use
VESA) shall not exceed the values shown in Table 1. The total unmating force shall not be less than
the values shown in Table 1. The test shall be in accordance with EIA-364, TP-13B. Following details
shall apply:
a: Cross Head Speed : 25.4 mm per minute.
b: Lubrication : no.
c: Utilize free floating fixtures.
Table 1 - Total lnsertion / Withdrawal force
7.2
Individual Contact insertion / withdrawal force - The insertion force shall not exceed 5N when a
maximum gauge is inserted. After three insertions with a maximum gauge, the withdrawal force shall
not be less than 0.3N when measured using a minimum gauge. See Figure 2 for gauge description.
Gauge shall not be lubricated. The gauge pins will be set to insert into the female connector .25" depth
far away from the mating top surface. Testing shall be in accordance with FCI test specification IEC
512-7 Test 13b.
