1.
Introduction.
1.1. Description and Purpose.
The Harwin M300 Series is a range of High Reliability 5 & 10A Power connectors on a 3mm pitch. The
following tests were carried out to establish or validate the claims made in the M300 component
specification CO48XX (where XX is issue 01, 02 etc.).
1.2. Conclusion.
The following data has been collated from Harwin test report 1106, with additional dimensional
verification to be found in reports 1089-92, 1097-99 and 1101. The connectors met the test requirements
set out in section 2.3 of this test report summary – all electrical, mechanical and environmental
requirements were fulfilled. These results are representative of all the M300 series connectors. Further

d) Contact Crimp Integrity to EIA-364-08B
Specification: 22 AWG = 50N min., 20 AWG = 80N min., 18 AWG = 140N min.
Method: 3 Samples of all types of Cable Crimp contacts listed in section 2.1 were assembled with the
following types of wire as applicable:

22 AWG (19x0.15) BS 3G 210 Type A

20 AWG (19x0.20) BS 3G 210 Type A

18 AWG (19x0.25) MIL-16878 Type E
Crimping was completed using crimp tool M22520/2-01 (position 8) fitted with Z80-058 positioner. Parts
were inspected for cracks under at least 10x magnification. The wire was then separated from the
contact at a speed of 25mm per minute, and the force required to achieve separation of wire from
contact recorded, as well as the type of separation (Wire Break or Pull Out). Samples were also micro

e) Durability (Mechanical Operations) to EIA-364-09C
Specification: 1000 Operations.
Method: For this test, 3 sets of Female cable SIL 3 position connectors and mating Male PC Tail
connectors were used (as listed in section 2.1). In separate tests, the mated pairs were clamped in a
holding fixture, allowing one-half of the pair to float. Automatic of cycling took place at
25.4mm/minute, fully mating by 4.45mm after female enters male moulding, for 1000 cycles.
Contact Resistance, Insulation Resistance and Dielectric Withstanding Voltage were measured prior to
cycling. Mating/Un-Mating forces were measured throughout cycling. After 10, 30, 50, 100, 200, 300,
400, 500, 750 and 1000 cycles, electrical tests and visual inspection took place. After 1000 cycles and
other tests completed, Contact retention in housing also measured and recorded.
Result: No failures reported.
f) Mating and Un-Mating Force to EIA-364-13C
Specification: 9N max. mating (Insertion) force, 1N min. un-mating (Withdrawal) force per contact.
Method: 3 samples of all types of connectors listed in section 2.1, in separate tests, were clamped in
holding fixture allowing one half of set to float. The pairs were then fully mated and un-mated at
25.4mm/minute (same setup as Durability). Peak mating and un-mating forces measured and recorded.

g) Temperature Life, Test Method A, Condition 6D to EIA-364-17B
Specification: After conditioning at 175°C for 1000 hours the following specifications must be met: Unmating force per contact = 1N min.; Contact resistance per contact = 25mΩ max.; Visual inspection to
reveal no sign of cracking, crazing, delamination or damage caused by fusing or seizure; 15N min.
contact removal force in housing; 50N min. contact crimp integrity pull out force on 22AWG wire and
140N on 18AWG.
Method: 12 samples of all cable connector assemblies listed in section 2.1 had 45cm of wire crimped to
each contact: 6 with 18 AWG wire and 6 with 22 AWG. These were checked before conditioning that
parts met specification. Half of these were then suspended as shown in an oven set at 175±5°C and
remained there for 1000 hours. The remaining samples were then suspended in a similar manner but at
normal ambient temperature for the same period of time.

h) Withstanding Voltage (Proof) Test Method B, Conditions I and IV to EIA-364-20C
Specification: Condition I (Sea Level 913/1050mb) = 1200V DC min. and Condition IV (Altitude 70,000ft. /
44mb max.) = 300V DC min. (Specification will be increased.)
Method: 3 Samples of all types of connectors listed in section 2.1 were mated with connectors that had
all adjacent contacts linked in series with 22 AWG wire. A voltage was passed through all contacts and
maintained for 60 seconds – this was raised at 500V per second to various test voltages, each level
maintained for 60 seconds. Voltage is then reduced back to zero, while being monitored for leakage
current not to exceed 5mA, or evidence of disruptive discharge (Flashover or Spark).

i) Insulation Resistance to EIA-364-21C
Specification: 100MΩ min. at 500V DC. (Specification will be increased.)
Method: 3 Samples of all types of connectors listed in section 2.1 were assembled with 22 AWG, BS 3G
210 Type A wire, so a voltage could be passed through all adjacent contacts. Results were monitored
using a Megger MIT400 insulation tester, set at 500V DC for a 2 minute period. The test was then
repeated at 1000V DC.
Results: All results for 500V DC
were greater than 10,000MΩ. All
results for 1000V DC were greater
than 20,000MΩ.
j) Low Level Contact Resistance to EIA-364-23C
Specification: 25mΩ max. (Specification will be reduced.)
Method: Unused mated combinations (shown in the table below), made from the connectors listed in
section 2.1 were prepared by attaching 100mm of 18 AWG (19/30) MIL-16878E Type E wire to all
contacts.
Using a Fluke 8808A multimeter, the test current was set at 100mA max., 20mV open circuit (source)
voltage max. The resistance of two of the 100mm lengths of the 18AWG wire only were measured, to
establish the wire resistance alone.
Connectors were mated for the first time, then each mated contact (including wire) measured for
resistance. The initial results were recorded as this reading minus the wire resistance. The connectors
were then separated and mated for a second time, before re-measuring for an “After conditioning”
result.

l) Humidity (Damp Heat) Test Method II, Conditions A and D to EIA-364-31B
Specification: 96 hour or 56 day, 90% RH (relative humidity) at 40°C.
Method: Samples of all cable-to-board, mated and un-mated pairs of connectors listed in section 2.1
were prepared with sufficient lengths of wire, and suspended vertically in a drying oven while having a
polarising voltage applied. They were subject to 50°C for 24 hours. Immediately after conditioning, the
samples were measured for bulk contact resistance (including test circuit) in ambient conditions. The
samples were returned to the test chamber with a 100V DC polarising voltage, a relative humidity of 9095% and 40±2°C. After 96 hours, a sample of each type was removed, leaving the remaining samples to
complete the 56 day period. Bulk contact resistance on 1 control sample was measured immediately
after removal from the test chamber. All sampleswere measured after 5 hours (to recover to standard
ambient conditions).

m) Thermal Shock (Temperature Cycling) Test Condition V to EIA-364-32C
Specification: +175/-65°C.
Method: Samples of all cable-to-board mated pairs of connectors listed in 2.1, prepared with sufficient
lengths of wire, were checked for Mating/Un-Mating force, Voltage Proof, Insulation Resistance and
Contact Resistance. Parts were also visually inspected for signs of damage, cracking, crazing or
delamination of surfaces or finishes.
These samples were then placed in a Temperature Cycling oven as shown, cycled 5 times from
+175/178°C to -65/70°C with dwell time 30 minutes min. Parts were then removed from the oven and
allowed to return to ambient temperature before final checks were made.
A summary of the findings are as follows:

n) Temperature Rise versus Current (Power Rating) Test Method 2 to EIA-364-70A
Specification: 10A for all contacts with 18 AWG wire, 30°C max. rise. 5A for 22 AWG wire.
Method: 3 samples of all possible cable-to-cable mated variants, listed in section 2.1 were prepared
with 18 and 22 AWG wire. These samples were tested for temperature rise v. current, for a single
contact through to all contacts. The test started with a load of 2A: after the temperature stabilised, it
was recorded. The current was increased by a similar amount and left to stabilise before recording. This
was repeated until the maximum working temperature of 175°C reached.
