11、ST PROCEDURE FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS AND SOCKETS (From EIA Standards Proposal No. 5111, formulated under the cognizance EIA CE-2.0 Committee on National Connector Standards, and previously published in EIA-364-59.) 1 Introduction 1.1 Scope This standard establishes a test method for exposing elect

12、rical connectors and sockets to low temperature for a specified duration. 1.2 Object The object of this test procedure is to provide a standardized method of exposing electrical connectors and sockets to sub-ambient temperatures. Measurements and observations made before, during and after the exposu

13、re shall be specified in the referencing document and may assess functionality of connectors and sockets at low temperatures. 2 Test resources 2.1 Equipment 2.1.1 A suitable chamber shall be used that will maintain, monitor and record the test temperature to the tolerance and for the duration specif

14、ied in the referencing document. The chamber temperature measurement shall be made in a manner that will indicate the specimen exposure temperature rather than the chamber temperature. 2.1.2 Forced air circulation and baffling devices may be used to maintain homogeneous conditions. 2.1.3 The chamber

15、 size or capacity shall be such that the specimens under test shall be capable of dissipating through air convection currents, any internally generated specimen heat. The specimens shall be arranged in the chamber in a manner that allows all to maintain the same temperature. EIA-364-59A Page 2 3 Tes

16、t specimen 3.1 Description A specimen shall consist of a mated assembly, unless otherwise specified in the referencing document. 3.2 Preparation Unless otherwise specified in the referencing document the specimens shall be wired, mated and mounted in the normal manner. The method of fixturing, when

17、specified in the referencing document, shall be such that the normal temperature dissipation, absorption, conduction reflection characteristics of the specimen is not infringed. 4 Test procedure 4.1 Test temperature The specimens shall be subjected to the test temperature as specified in the referen

18、cing document. Table 1 gives recommended test temperatures that may be specified. Table 1 Test temperature Condition Temperature Tolerance 1 -65 C 3 C 2 -55 C 3 C 3 -40 C 3 C 4 -25 C 3 C 5 -10 C 3 C 6 +5 C 3 C 4.2 Test duration The specimens shall be subjected to the test durations as specified in t

19、he referencing document. Table 2 gives recommended test durations that may be specified. Table 2 Test duration Condition Exposure time Tolerance A 2 hours -0, +0.25 hour B 16 hours -0, +1.0 hour C 72 hours -0, +5.0 hours D 96 hours -0, +5.0 hours E 240 hours -0, +5.0 hours F 500 hours -0, +10.0 hour

20、s G 1000 hours -0, +10.0 hours EIA-364-59A Page 3 4.3 Specimen exposure 4.3.1 The chamber shall be at room ambient temperature when the specimens are installed. 4.3.2 If specified in the referencing document, the electrical load shall be connected and proper operation verified. 4.3.3 The temperature

21、 within the chamber shall be adjusted and stabilized at the specified level. Unless otherwise specified in the referencing document the rate of temperature change within the chamber shall not exceed 1 C per minute, averaged over 5 minutes. 4.3.4 After the chamber temperature has stabilized, it shall

22、 be maintained for the length of time specified in the referencing document. 4.3.5 At the end of this period, the electrical load (if used) shall be disconnected, the specimens shall be left in the chamber and the temperature shall be gradually increased to room ambient temperature. The rate of temp

23、erature change within the chamber shall not exceed 1 C per minute, averaged over 5 minutes. 4.3.6 The test specimens shall be removed from the chamber. If necessary, unmated specimens may be carefully shaken by hand to remove water droplets that may have condensed on the specimen exterior surfaces.

24、Mated or unmated specimens may be blotted with a towel or gently blasted with air. If an air blast is used as an aid to drying, the air shall be oil free, clean and dry. Care shall be taken not to disturb mated contact interfaces. 4.3.7 Unless otherwise specified in the referencing document, the spe

25、cimens shall be examined visually and measured as specified in the referencing document, after 1 hour minimum, but not more than 2 hours after removal from the chamber. 5 Details to be specified The following details shall be specified in the referencing document: 5.1 Number of specimens to be teste

26、d 5.2 Test temperature condition, see table 1 5.3 Test duration condition, see table 2 5.4 Dwell time at ambient temperature before measurements, if other than specified in 4.3.7.
