Test Description
Procedure
Requirements
Maintenance
Aging
Contacts removed and
reinserted 10 times using
applicable tools
No damage to contacts
or housings. Contact
retention maintained
Contact Retention

Test Condition B)
Mated connectors
subjected to 5% salt
spray for 48 hours
No damage
Protection Against
Solids
a. Test wire is pushed
into mated connectors
b. Mated connectors
subjected to circulating
talcum powder
a. Must not touch live parts
b. No dust deposits
observed on mating
surfaces
Protection Against

Water is projected through
jets against mated
No water deposits shall
be observed on mating
connector from any direction surfaces of contacts
and then temporarily
immersed in water
or housings
Temperature Life
