-----------------------------------------------------------LOW LEVEL CIRCUIT RESISTANCE (LLCR)
PURPOSE:
1.
To evaluate contact resistance characteristics of the
contact systems under conditions where applied voltages and
currents do not alter the physical contact interface and
will detect oxides and films which degrade electrical
stability. It is also sensitive to and may detect the
presence of fretting corrosion induced by mechanical or
thermal environments as well as any significant loss of
contact pressure.
2.
This attribute was monitored after each preconditioning
and/or test exposure in order to determine said stability
of the contact systems as they progress through the
applicable test sequences.
3.
The electrical stability of the system is determined by
comparing the initial resistance value to that observed
after a given test exposure. The difference is the change
in resistance occurring whose magnitude establishes the
stability of the interface being evaluated.

-----------------------------------------------------------DURABILITY
PURPOSE:
1.
This is a conditioning sequence which is used to induce the
type of wear on the contacting surfaces which may occur
under normal service conditions. The connectors are mated
and unmated a predetermined number of cycles. Upon
completion, the units being evaluated are exposed to the
environments as specified to assess any impact on
electrical stability resulting from wear or other wear
dependent phenomenon.
2.
This type of conditioning sequence is also used to
mechanically stress the connector system as would normally
occur in actual service. This sequence in conjunction with
other tests is used to determine if a significant loss of
contact pressure occurs from said stresses which in turn,
may result in an unstable electrical condition to exist.
-----------------------------------------------------------PROCEDURE:
1.
The test was performed in accordance with EIA 364, Test
Procedure 09.

Test Conditions:
a) No. of Cycles

4.
The test samples were axially aligned to accomplish the
mating and unmating function allowing for self-centering
movement.
5.
Care was taken to prevent the mating faces of the test
samples from contacting each other.
6.
All subsequent variable testing was performed in accordance
with the procedures previously indicated.
-----------------------------------------------------------REQUIREMENTS:
1.
There shall be no evidence of physical damage to the test
samples so tested.
2.
The change in low level circuit resistance shall not
exceed +10.0 milliohms.

There was no evidence of physical damage to the test
samples as tested.

PURPOSE:
To evaluate the impact on electrical stability of the contact
system when exposed to any environment which may generate
thermal/moisture type failure mechanisms such as:
a)
Fretting corrosion due to wear resulting from
micromotion, induced by thermal cycling. Humidity
accelerates the oxidation process.
b)
Oxidation of wear debris or from particulates from the
surrounding atmosphere which may have become entrapped
between the contacting surfaces.
c)
Failure mechanisms resulting from a wet oxidation
process.
