13、364-9 1 .) 1 Introduction 1.1 Scope 1.1.1 This standard establishes a test method to determine the susceptibility of an electrical connector or socket system to the potential degradation mechanism of a dust/fiber environment common to an office or manufacturing area. 1.1.2 This method may be used as
14、 a preconditioning test whereby the test specimen is exposed to a heavy concentration of dust and then exposed to a subsequent environment or as a “stand alone” test. 1.1.3 This test should not be considered as an alternate or replacement for the EIA-364-50 (Sand and Dust Test Procedure for Electric
15、al Connectors and Sockets) that simulates an outdoor desert type environment. CAUTION - This procedure may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This procedure does not purport to address ali safety problems associated with its use or all regulatory requirements. It is the .responsi
16、bility of the user of this procedure to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations before its use. 2 Test resources 2.1 Equipment 2.1.1 A dust chamber of sufficient size to allow the test specimens to be placed in the chamber with t
17、he clearances as indicated in 4.1. 2.1.2 An air blower system of sufficient size to maintain a flow rate of 300 meterdminute (i 000feet/minute) f 20%, unless otherwise specified in the referencing document. EIA-364-91A Page 2 2.1.3 A dust dispensing system capable of holding the volume of dust requi
18、red. 2.1.4 A timing circuit may be required for those situations where dust is to be applied in a time cycle mode. 2.1.5 Unless otherwise specified, the sir blower/dust dispensing system shall be capable of blowing the dust in a vertically upward direction from the bottom of the chamber to the top o
19、f the chamber. 2.1.6 The chamber attitude shall be such that when the blower is in an off condition, the dust shall fall by gravity to the bottom of the chamber into a collection area. 2.2 Material 2.2.1 Dust composition Unless otherwise specified in the referencing document, the specified dust comp
20、osition shall be one of those listed in table A.l or A.2. The dust composition shall not be reused in any subsequent test. 3 Test specimen 3.1 Description The referencing document shall specify if the test specimens are to be exposed mated or unmated. If unmated, it shall be specified if the recepta
21、cle, mating device or both is to be exposed. If not specified, only the connector normally exposed to the environment shall be tested unmated. 3.2 Preparation The test specimens shall be placed in the chamber in such a manner as not to be closer than 76 mm (3.0 inch) from the walls of the test chamb
22、er and not closer than 76 mm (3.0 inches) from the dust entry area. 3.2.1 The specimens shall be held in place using non-reactive materials in a manner allowing unobstructed air flow around said specimens. 3.2.2 If multiple specimens are to be exposed simultaneously, the specimens shall be placed so
23、 as not to be closer than 50 mm (2.0 inches) from each other. Multiple specimens shall be spaced side by side in a manner that does not prevent dust accumulation on or in the specimens. EIA-364-91A Page 3 3.2.3 The test specimens shall be exposed in their normal terminated state. 3.2.4 The test spec
24、imens shall be placed in the chamber in the orientation representing their application and shall be specified in the referencing document. 3.2.5 Prior to exposure, the dust composition to be used shall be placed in a tray or holding container and evenly spread. The dust shall then be placed in an ov
25、en and dried at 50 “C * 3 “C for 1 .O hour minimum. 3.2.6 Prior to exposure, the specimens to be tested shall not be cleaned unless the cleaning process is an actual part of the product application process of instructions. 4 Test procedure 4.1 The specimens shall be placed in the chamber in accordan
26、ce with clause 3, unless otherwise specified in the referencing document. 4.2 The mass of dust shall be 9 grams f 1 gram per cubic foot of chamber volume, unless otherwise specified in the referencing document. 4.3 After specimen placement, the air blower system shall be turned on. 4.4 specified in
27、the referencing document. The exposure duration shall be 1.0 hour +5.0 minutes / -0.0 minutes, unless otherwise 4.5 Upon completion of the exposure, the air blower system shall be turned off. The specimens shall not be removed from the chamber for a minimum of 1 .O hour. 4.6 Upon removal from the ch
28、amber, the specimens shall not be cleaned, wiped or have air blown on them. Specimens may be tapped at rate of 25.4 millimeters/second (1.0 incWsecond) on a flat surface typical of a laboratory bench, 5 times for removal by gravity of excess accumulation. 4.7 After completion of each exposure, the i
29、nterior of the chamber and dust delivery system shall be cleaned as much as practical. Brushing and vacuuming shall be sufficient. 4.8 Subsequent attribute monitoring or exposure to other environments shall, be in accordance with the referencing document. 4.9 This test shall be performed in a chambe
30、r at room ambient conditions as follows: - - Relative humidity: 70% Temperature: 25 “C * 7 “C ELA-364-91A Page 4 5 Details to be specified The following details shall be specified in the referencing document: 5.1 Dust composition #1 or #2, see table 1 or 2 5.2 Volume of dust 5.3 Subsequent tests 5.4
