Design and Construction
The connector shall be a multi-piece assembly having a single row of non-removable contacts with
an insulation displacement style crimp termination. The female contact shall be a high reliability
disconnect for 0.025 square or round male pins on 0.100 centers.
3.4.1
3.4.2
3.4.3
Installation. The connector shall simultaneously terminate up to 32 signal leads on 0.100
inch centers.
Mating. The connector shall be capable of mating and unmating by hand without the use
of special tools within the specified temperance range.
Workmanship. Connectors shall be uniform in quality, and shall be free from burrs,
scratches, cracks, voids, chips, blisters, pin holes, sharp edges, and other defects that
will adversely affect life or serviceability.
Interchangeability. The connector shall be capable of mating with an appropriately
constituted male connector or pin filed (see figure 2) of the same population without
degradation in performance.
3.4.4
3.5
Electrical Characteristics
3.5.1
3.5.2
Current Rating. The maximum current rating of the connector shall be 2.0 ampere DC.
Contact Resistance. The contact resistance shall not exceed 15 milliohms (20 milliohms
after environmental exposure) when measured in accordance with MIL-STD-202, Method
307; the following details shall apply:
a. Method of Connection - Attach current and voltage leads as shown in Figure 1.
b. Test Current - 1.0 ampere DC
3.5.3
Low Level Circuit Resistance. The low level circuit resistance shall not exceed 10
milliohms (20 milliohms after environmental exposure) when measured in accordance
with EIA-364 TP45; the following details shall apply:
a. Method of Connection - See Figure 1
b. Test Current - 10 milliamperes DC, approximate
c. Open-Circuit Voltage - 50 millivolts, maximum

Insulation Resistance. The insulation resistance of the unterminated connector shall be
not less than 5000 megohms (10 megohms within 15 minutes after exposure to the
humidity environment described in 3.7.2) when measured in accordance with MIL-STD-
202, Method 302; the following details shall apply:
a. Test Condition - B (500 volts DC)
b. Points of Measurement - Between adjacent contacts
3.5.5
Dielectric Withstanding Voltage. There shall be no evidence of arc-over, insulation
breakdown, or excessive leakage current (> 1.0 milliampere) when the unterminated
connector is tested in accordance with MIL-STD-202, Method 301; the following details
shall apply:
a. Test Potential - 1000 volts RMS, 60 Hz (sea-level pressure)
b. Test Duration - 60 seconds
c. Points of Measurement - Between adjacent contacts
3.6
Mechanical Characteristics
3.6.1
Total Mating and Unmating Force. The total force to mate (or unmate) the terminated
connector with an appropriately populated header consisting of properly configured (see
Figure 2) 0.025 inch square or round pins shall not exceed 300 grams times the number
of terminals. The test shall be in accordance with EIA-364 TP13, at a cross-head speed
of one (1) inch per minute.
For product with an external mechanical locking device, the total mating force shall not
exceed 300gm times the number of terminals plus 521gm for the mechanical latch.
For product with an external mechanical locking device, the total unmating force shall not
be more than 300gm times the number of terminals plus 1200gm for the mechanical
latch.
3.6.2
Individual Contact Withdrawal Force. When measured using a minimum gage configured
as shown in Figure 3, the individual contact withdrawal force shall be not less than 25
grams. The test shall be in accordance with EIA-364 TP37; the following details shall
apply:
a.
b.
c.
d.
3.6.3
Test Procedure - 1
Speed of Withdrawal - 1 inch per minute
Insertion Depth - 0.230 to 0.250 inch
Number of Prior Activations - 1 (with maximum gage shown in Figure 3)
Cable Retention. The contact termination shall withstand, without loss of continuity, an
evenly distributed force of 10 pounds per inch-of-cable-width applied to the cable in a
direction parallel to the contact axis.
