11、g the mechanical retention strength of the locking retention features of mated plastic connector housings. 2 Test resources 2.1 Equipment Apparatus shall include the following: 2.1.1 housings. Clamps, jaw or other fixtures to hold the respective halves of the mated connector 2.1.2 13 millimeters per
12、 minute (0.5 inch per minute). Force mechanism capable of separating the holding devices at a constant rate of 2.1.3 Gage or recorder capable of measuring the axial force to within an accuracy of 2 2%. 3 Test specimen Sizes fiom the connector family shall be chosen as specified in the Detail Specifi
13、cation. 4 Test procedure 4.1 Preparation Connector housings, without contacts, shall be mated. Check that the latches are properly and fully engaged. 4.2 Mounting Mated connector housings shall be placed on appropriate fixtures on force application mechanism. One fixture should be ked and the opposi
14、te fixture floating (or self-aligning) to ensure that the applied force is along one axis. Previous page is blank EIA-364-98 Page 2 4.3 Force application The force mechanism shall be set to exert an axial force at a constant rate of 13 millimeters per minute (0.5 inch per minute) to separate the hou
15、sing halves. 4.4 Data to be recorded Maximum force and visual observations shall be recorded. 5 Details to be specified The following details shall be specified in the Detail Specification: 5.1 Size and number of housings to be tested. 5.2 Minimum locking strength force. 5.3 Sequence of conditioning
16、 and testing, if applicable. 5.4 Conditions if other than standard atmospheric conditions. 5.5 Rate of force application, if different than the value specified in 4.3. 5.6 Special fixturing requirements, if applicable. 6 Test documentation Documentation shall contain the following: 6.1 Title of test
17、. 6.2 Description of specimen and fixture. 6.3 Test equipment used. 6.4 Values and observations. 6.5 Ambient temperature and humidity. 6.6 Name of operator and date of test.
