11、T PROCEDURE FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS EIA-364-97 Page 1 This specification covers the test procedure for determining the mechanical retention of the panel locking feature housings when installed in panels. 2 Test resources 2.1 Equipment Apparatus shall include the following: 2.1.1 Panel cutout for e
12、ach size housing, fabricated within the drawing tolerances specified in the Detail Specification. 2.1.2 Force mechanism capable of compression testing at a constant rate of 12.7 millimeters per minute (0.5 inch per minute). 2.1.3 Compression force measuring device capable of measuring force to an ac
13、curacy of 2%. 3 Test specimen Housing sizes from the connector family shall be as specified in the Detail Specification. 4 Test procedure 4.1 Preparation Each connector housing shall be properly installed in the appropriate panel cutout. Each connector housing size shall be tested in the direction a
14、gainst the housing panel lock. Previous page is blank EIA-364-97 Page2 4.2 Mounting The mounted connector housing and panel cutout shall be placed on appropriate blocks, fixture, etc., as shown in figure 1. 4.3 Force application The force mechanism shall be set to exert an axial force at a constant
15、rate of 13 millimeters per minute (0.5 inch per minute) in a direction against the connector housing panel locks, thus causing the connector housing to be dislodged from its mounted position in the panel. 4.4 Failure mode Maximum retention force, visual observations, and resultant and failure mode s
16、hall be recorded. 5 Details to be specified The following details shall be specified in the Detail Specification: 5.1 Sizes and numbers ofhousings to be tested. 5.2 Direction of force application required for test, if other than indicated in figure 1. 5.3 Minimum housing panel retention force. 5.4 S
17、equence of conditioning and testing if applicable. 5.5 Conditions if other than standard atmospheric conditions. 6 Test documentation Documentation shall contain the following: 6.1 Title of test. 6.2 Description of specimen and fixture - including dimension of each panel cutout used. 6.3 Test eqUipm
