11、mmittee on National Connector Standards, and previously published in EIA-364-06B.) 1 Introduction 1.1 Scope This standard establishes test methods to determine the resistance of mated connector contacts attached to lengths of wire by measuring the voltage drop across the contacts while they are carr

12、ying a specified current. 2 Test resources 2.1 Equipment 2.1.1 An ammeter capable of measuring the applied current to an accuracy of 2%. 2.1.2 A high-impedance voltmeter (in the order of 10,000 ohms per volt). The meter accuracy shall be such that the value being measured is accurate to 2%. NOTE For

13、 greater ease of measuring forward and reverse readings, a zero-center or digital voltmeter with automatic polarity reversal is recommended. 2.1.3 A suitable current source having a controlled output as required for test currents specified in the referencing document. Either ac or dc may be used for

14、 this contact resistance test. For ac measurements, the frequency shall not exceed 2 kHz. In the event of a discrepancy between ac and dc measurements, the dc method shall be employed. 2.1.4 An example of a test circuit is shown in figure 1 for the test method described in 4.2 through 4.5. EIA-364-0

15、6C Page 2 3 Test specimen 3.1 Description A test specimen shall consist of a mated connector, a pair of contacts such as a pin and a socket, mating hermaphroditic contacts, or a printed pad and its mating contacts. 3.2 Preparation 3.2.1 All specimens shall be prepared as they would be for normal app

16、lications. Care shall be taken to assure that the wire is properly stripped so that all strands are intact and the wire - to - contact joint is free of inclusions such as marking thread or frayed insulation. 3.2.2 Cleaning may be performed to remove solder fluxes associated with specimen preparation

17、. However, unless otherwise specified in the referencing document there shall not be any additional cleaning. There shall not be additional lubricants or other coatings be applied, unless otherwise specified in the referencing document. 3.2.3 The test specimens may be installed in a suitable connect

18、or and engaged as in normal service. Specimens not installed in a connector shall not be rigidly fixed by any method that might possibly influence the forces acting on the interface between the mating contacts. 3.2.4 Voltmeter probe points may be prepared prior to starting the test. It is recommende

19、d to permanently attach the voltmeter leads by soldering, spot welding, or crimping with a suitable device when required by the environmental conditions existing at the time the test shall be made. 3.2.5 Voltage probes for crimp contacts shall be placed on the conductors a distance of 152.4 millimet

20、ers 3.0 millimeters (6.00 inch 0.12 inch) from each other, with the mated contacts in the center of that distance unless otherwise specified in the referencing document. 4 Test procedure 4.1 With the current OFF, connect the specimen into the test circuit. 4.2 Energize the circuit and increase the c

21、urrent until the required test current is achieved. The lowest voltage shall be used that allows the specified test current to be achieved. Unless otherwise specified in the referencing document the output voltage of the current source shall not exceed the rated working voltage of the specimen. 4.3

22、Allow the test specimen to stabilize at the test current. EIA-364-06C Page 3 4.4 Connect the voltmeter probes (leads) to the specimen (if not permanently attached) and measure and record the voltage drop. Assure that the test current has remained at the correct value. 4.5 When readings are one milli

23、volt or less on small dc measurements, reverse current readings shall be taken. The two measurements shall be averaged to cancel the effects of thermal potentials. 4.5.1 If necessary, adjust power supply to make reverse current equal to forward current. 4.5.2 Measure and record the reverse voltage d

24、rop. 4.5.3 Calculate the specimen voltage drop as follows: 4.5.4 Deenergize circuit and disconnect specimen. 4.5.5 Calculate resistance, if required. 5 Details to be specified The following details shall be specified in the referencing document: 5.1 Test specimen preparation, if other than specified
