Harwin Test Report Summary HT00201 Voltage Breakdown and Insulation Resistance of Datamate (M80 Series) Connectors HT00201 Test Report for Datamate (M80 Series) – Voltage Breakdown, Insulation Resistance 1. Introduction. 1.1. Description and Purpose. The Harwin Datamate (M80 series) connector is manufactured to the requirements of BS9525F0033. The following tests were carried out on a selection of Datamate connectors, to establish the ultimate breakdown voltage across a two millimetre (adjoining contacts), four millimetre and six millimetre contact pitches. 1.2. Conclusion. The following test data has been taken from Harwin test report T43/97 and 413.The connectors tested achieved a greater flashover voltage than the BS9525-F0033 Voltage Proof requirement of 360 Voltsdc, and can be rated to an 800Vdc working Voltage and 1200Vdc maximum Voltage. However, it must be noted that these tests were conducted under standard factory conditions. Any requirement to use the connectors should consider these conditions, and also the spacing of the printed circuit board tracking to which the assemblies are connected. The specified insulation resistance of 1,000MΩ minimum at 500Vdc for 1 minute was also confirmed during these tests. 2. Test Method, Requirements and Results. 2.1. List of Test Samples. A.

Test Method and Results – Insulation Resistance from T43/97. A 500Vdc test voltage was applied to each test gap in turn (See Figure 1), for a period of 60 seconds. +ve Test Gap 2 Test Gap 3 (4mm Pitch) (6mm Pitch) -ve -ve Test Gap 1 (2mm Pitch) +ve Results: Test Gap 1 (2mm pitch) Test Gap 2 (4mm pitch) Test Gap 3 (6mm pitch) A 20 x 106MΩ 20 x 106MΩ 20 x 106MΩ SAMPLE B 15 x 106MΩ 20 x 106MΩ 15 x 106MΩ C 5 x 106MΩ 9 x 106MΩ 15 x 106MΩ D 15 x 106MΩ 15 x 106MΩ 15 x 106MΩ 2.4. Test Method and Results – Voltage Proof from T43/97. An increasing dc voltage was applied to each test point in turn, until either breakdown or flashover occurred. Results: All flashovers occured across the contacts mating face “air gap” at the following voltages: SAMPLE A B C D Test Gap 1 (2mm pitch) 2,500Vdc 3,500Vdc 2,500Vdc 3,000Vdc Test Gap 2 (4mm pitch) 4,000Vdc 4,000Vdc 5,000Vdc 4,000Vdc Test Gap 3 (6mm pitch) 5,000Vdc 5,000Vdc 6,500Vdc 5,500Vdc 2.5. Test Method and Results – 1,200V Voltage Proof from 413. 1,200Vdc voltage was applied to adjacent contacts for the duration of 1 minute to see if breakdown or flashover occurred. Results: Sample E – No breakdown or flashover occurred. Sample F – No breakdown or flashover occurred. Sample G – No breakdown or flashover occurred. Sample H – No breakdown or flashover occurred. Sample I – No breakdown or flashover occurred. Sample J – No breakdown or flashover occurred.
