11、91B DUST TEST PROCEDURE FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS AND SOCKETS (From EIA Standards Proposal No. 5369, formulated under the cognizance of the EIA CE-2.0 Committee on National Connector and Socket Standards, and previously published in EIA-364-91A) 1 Introduction 1.1 Scope 1.1.1 This standard establish
12、es 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 a preconditioning test whereby the test specimen is exposed to a
13、 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 Electrical Connectors and Sockets) that simulates an outdoor desert type
14、environment. CAUTION This procedure may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This procedure does not purport to address all safety problems associated with its use or all regulatory requirements. It is the responsibility of the user of this procedure to establish appropriate safety
15、 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 the clearances as indicated in 4.1. 2.1.2 An air blower system of suf
16、ficient size to maintain a flow rate of 300 meters/minute (1000 feet/minute) 20%, unless otherwise specified in the referencing document. 2.1.3 A dust dispensing system capable of holding the volume of dust required. 2.1.4 A timing circuit may be required for those situations where dust is to be app
17、lied in a time cycle mode. EIA-364-91B Page 2 2.1.5 Unless otherwise specified, the air 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 of the chamber. 2.1.6 The chamber attitude shall be such that when the
18、 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 composition shall be one of those listed in table A.1 or A.2. The dust co
19、mposition 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 receptacle, mating device or both is to be exposed. If not specified, only t
20、he 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 millimeters (3.0 inch) from the walls of the test chamber and not closer than 76 millimeters (3.0 inches) from the
21、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 as not to be closer than 50 millimeters (2.0 inche
22、s) 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. 3.2.3 The test specimens shall be exposed in their normal terminated state. 3.2.4 The test specimens shall be placed in the chamber in the orientation repre
23、senting 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 oven and dried at 50 C 3 C for 1.0 hour minimum. EIA-364-91B Pa
24、ge 3 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 accordance with clause 3, unless otherwise specified in
25、 the referencing document. 4.2 The mass of dust shall be 9 grams 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 The exposure duration shall be 1.0 hour +5.0 minutes / -0.0 mi
26、nutes, unless otherwise specified in the referencing document. 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 1.0 hour. 4.6 Upon removal from the chamber the specimens may be gently tapped 5 times f
27、or removal by gravity of excess accumulation. The specimens shall not be otherwise cleaned, wiped or have air blown on them. 4.7 After completion of each exposure, the interior of the chamber and dust delivery system shall be cleaned as much as practical. Brushing and vacuuming shall be sufficient.
28、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 chamber at room ambient conditions as follows: Temperature: 25 C 7 C Relative humidity: 70% 5 Details to be specified The following detai
29、ls shall be specified in the referencing document: 5.1 Dust composition #1 or #2, see table A.1 or A.2 5.2 Subsequent tests 5.3 Pass/fail criteria 5.4 Mated or unmated EIA-364-91B Page 4 6 Documentation Documentation shall contain the details specified in clause 5, with any exceptions, and the follo
