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. -----------------------------------------------------------PROCEDURE: 1. The test was performed in accordance with EIA 364, Test Procedure 23. -continued on next page.

This is a preconditioning 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 or preconditioning 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. 2. Test Conditions: a) No. of Cycles : 20X b) Rate : 1.0 inch per minute 3.

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.

To determine the impact on electrical stability of contact interfaces when the test samples are exposed to a mixed flowing gas environment. Said environment is based on field data simulating typical, severe, non-benign environments. Said exposure is indicative of expected behavior in the field. 2. Mixed flowing gas tests (MFG) are environmental test procedures whose primary purpose is to evaluate product performance under simulated storage or operating (field) conditions. For parts involving plated contact surfaces, such tests are also used to measure the effect of plating degradation (due to the environment) on the electrical and durability properties of a contact or connector system. The specific test conditions are usually chosen so as to simulate, in the test laboratory, the effects of certain representative field environments or environmental severity levels on standard metallic surfaces. -----------------------------------------------------------PROCEDURE: 1. The test environment was performed in accordance with EIA 364-55B, Class IIA. -continued on next page.

After placement of the test samples in the chamber, it was allowed to re-stabilize and adjusted as required to maintain the specified concentrations and conditions. 7. The test chamber was monitored periodically during the exposure period to assure the environmental conditions as specified were maintained. 8. All subsequent variable testing was performed in accordance with the procedures previously indicated. -----------------------------------------------------------REQUIREMENTS: 1. There shall be no evidence of damage or corrosion to the test samples as exposed which will cause mechanical or electrical malfunction of the said samples. 2.
