13、es recommended test sequences to determine the susceptibility of contacts to fretting corrosion that is a major and significant failure mechanism that can be caused by vibration and thermal cycling. 1.2 Object 1.2.1 Fretting corrosion is caused by micromotion between two surfaces in contact which ma

14、y result in a significant change in resistance. It is created when non-noble materials or dissimilar metals (gold vs. tin) are in contact. It can also occur with gold/gold systems when gold has been worn through exposing the non-noble underplate or substrate. 1.2.2 For further information on this ph

15、enomenon, a partial bibliography of technical papers is shown in annex C. 2 Test specimen 2.1 Description Unless otherwise specified in the referencing document, test specimens shall be composed of terminated plug and receptacle connectors, or sockets, with applicable accessories. Connectors or sock

EIA-364-1005 Page 2 2.1.1 Variable measurements Unless otherwise specified, a

17、 minimum of 50 mated contact pairs per connector or 25% of the contact population whichever is more shall be measured for LLCR (low level circuit resistance). For connectors with less than 50 contacts, the number of measurements shall be agreed upon between test sponsor and test laboratory. Position

18、s being monitored shall be distributed throughout the contact arrangement. 2.2 Preparation 2.2.1 Unless otherwise specified in the referencing document, contacts shall be tested terminated to their applicable conductors (crimp or solder cup) or to test boards (solder or compliant technology). Contac

22、Any severity level that may be indicated in this document shall be considered as default levels. 3.2 Test sequence 3.2.1 This standard shall not be substituted for any standard defining qualification of connectors or sockets. It does not address the full range of product performance which is require

EIA-364-1005 Page 3 Figure 1 Test sequences 3.2.3 Test sequences, unless otherwise specified 3.2.3.1 Sequence 1A shall be performed when test severity levels and conditions are unknown. The data generated in this sequence will determine the areas of resonance. The collected data can then

25、 be used to develop the vibration profiles to be used for Sequence 1B. This sequence need not be performed when the severity level and conditions are specified in the referencing document. 3.2.3.2 Sequence 1B shall be performed when the vibration conditions are specified in the referencing documents

26、 and/or as generated by the results of Sequence 1A when performed. 3.2.3.3 Sequence 2 shall be performed in accordance with the test plan flow diagram and the test conditions indicated unless otherwise specified in the referencing document.
