Contact Retention Test Procedure for Electrical Connectors
Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
ECIA | 2006 | 12 |
This standard establishes a test method to impose axial forces
on the connector contacts to determine the ability of the connector
to withstand forces that tend to displace contacts from their
proper location within the connector insert and resist contact
pullout. These forces may be the result of:
loads on wire connected to the contacts;
— forces required to restrict contact push-through during
assembly of removable type contacts into connector inserts;
— forces produced by mating contacts during connector
mating;
— dynamic forces produced by vibration and shock during normal
use of the connectors;
— forces relating to bundling strains on the wire.
Object
The object of this test procedure is to detail a standard method
to assess the ability of the contact retaining system to withstand
the axial mechanical stresses likely to be encountered during
normal usage.
