QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
Qualification Testing
A.
Sample Selection
Connector assemblies shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Instruction Sheets. They
shall be selected at random from current production per Figure 6. Hardware where indicated shall
be female screwlock kit 205817-1 and screw retainer kit 746881-1 for connector sizes 1 through 4.
Connector size 5 shall utilize slide latch 745577-1 with screw 206943-5 and locking post 206514-
1.
B.
Test Sequence
Qualification inspection shall be verified by testing samples as specified in Figure 2.
4.2.
Retention of Qualification
If, in a five-year period, no changes to the product or process occur, the product shall be subjected to
the two groups of the testing described in the test sequence, see Figure 3. Justification for exceeding
this time limit must be documented and approved by the division manager.
4.3.
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.
4.4.
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.
4.5.
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.
