3.3 Finish – The female contact shall be plated in the contact area with 30 micro-inches
(minimum) gold per MIL-G-45204, Type II, Grade C over 50 micro-inches (minimum)
nickel per QQ-N-290, Class 2.
3.4 Design and Construction – The female connector shall be of multi-piece design,
consisting of: contacts having self stripping terminations and two single ended cantilever
spring members for interfacing with 0.025 inch square backplane contacts; a housing to
maintain the contacts in position to interface with the backplane contacts on a 0.100
inch square grid and with the terminating cable, having conductors on 0.050 inch
centers; and a pre-loaded cover providing an integral slot for alignment of cable during
termination. The shroud shall be of one-piece construction and, when installed over the
backplane contacts, shall simulate a composite two-row male header for mating with the
female connector.
3.4.1 Installation
3.4.1.1
Female Connector – The female connector shall simultaneously terminate up
to 60 wires size AWG 28 (stranded) or AWG 30 (solid) on 0.050 inch centers
without pre-stripping the PVC (polyvinylchloride) cable insulation. The cable
shall conform to the requirements of Company Specification BUS-12-001.
Shroud – The shroud shall be capable of being assembled within an 0.100 by
0.100 field of .025 inch square backplane contacts. The shroud will utilize four
rows of contacts and a number of contacts per row two greater than that of
the female connector with which it will be mated; the two outside rows and
eight end contacts shall not be functional as disconnects. Iterative use of the
shroud in end-to-end or side-to-side locations shall be possible on a
continuous basis, without the elimination of an intervening row of contacts in
the former and with the elimination of one intervening row in the latter.
3.4.1.2
3.4.2 Polarization – An optional, molded-in polarizing feature shall be available to insure
correct orientation of the female connector and shrouded backpanel contacts.
3.4.3 Mating – The connector system shall be capable of mating and un-mating by hand
without the use of special tools within the specified temperature range.
3.4.4 Workmanship – Connectors and shrouds 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.
3.4.5 Interchangeability – Any female connector shall be capable of mating with any
properly constituted shrouded backpanel assembly without degradation in
performance.
3.5 Electrical Characteristics
3.5.1 Current Rating ( see 5.1) – The maximum continuous current rating of the connector
system shall be 1.0 Ampere DC.
3.5.2 Contact Resistance – The contact resistance shall not exceed 15 milliohms (20
milliohms after exposure to the environments described in paragraph 3.6.5 and
3.7.1 to 3.7.7) when measured in accordance with MIL-STD-1344, Method 3004.
The following details shall apply:
(a) Method of Connection – Attach current and voltage leeds 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 15
milliohms (20 milliohms after exposure to the environments described in paragraph
3.6.5 and 3.7.1 to 3.7.7 ) when measured in accordance with MIL-STD-1344,
Method 3002. The following details shall apply:
(a) Method of connection – See Figure 1
(b) Test Current – 1 milliampere DC
(c) Maximum Open – Current Voltage – 20 millivolts DC
3.5.4 Insulation Resistance ( See 5.2 ) – The insulation resistance of mated connectors
shall be not less than 5000 megohms ( 1000) megohms after after exposure to the
humidity environment described in paragraph 3.7.2 ) when measured in
accordance with MIL-STD-1344, Method 3003. The following details shall apply:
(a) Test Potential – 500 volts DC
(b) Points of Measurement – Between adjacent contact positions
(c) Special Preparation – The female connector shall not be terminated.
