MIL-DTL-12883F
3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1 Specification sheets. The individual item requirements shall be as specified herein and in
accordance with the applicable specification sheet. In the event of any conflict between the requirements
of this specification and the specification sheet, the latter shall govern.
3.1.1 Alternate materials, platings, and processes. The identified reference materials, platings, and
processes have been established to provide assurances that sockets manufactured to this specification will
properly interface to similar industry standard or government specified component interconnection systems
without problems of electrochemical contamination of critical electrical or mechanical interfaces or
generation of incompatible mechanical interface surface wear products. The manufacturers of sockets
supplied to this specification are allowed to use alternate recognized industry standards for materials,
platings, and processes. Alternate materials, platings, and processes used shall be coordinated with the
qualifying activity as part of the qualification process. Use of alternates to those referenced guidance items
by the supplier shall not result in inferior short or long-term performance or reliability of supplied sockets as
compared with sockets manufacture using the referenced materials, platings, or processes. Short or long
term failures or reliability problems due to use of these alternates shall be the responsibility of the supplier.
3.2 Qualification. Sockets and accessories furnished under this specification shall be products which
are authorized by the qualifying activity for listing on the applicable qualified products list at the time of
award of contract (see 4.5 and 6.3).
3.2.1 Quality.
3.2.1.1 Statistical Process Control (SPC). The contractor shall implement and use statistical process
control techniques in the manufacturing process for parts covered by this specification. The SPC program
shall be developed and maintained in accordance with EIA-557. The SPC program shall be documented
and maintained as part of the overall reliability assurance program as specified in MIL-STD-790. Evidence
of such compliance shall be verified by the qualifying activity of this specification as a prerequisite for
qualifications effective 12 months after the date of this document.
3.3 Materials. Example reference materials are identified herein. However, when an example reference
material is not identified, a material shall be used which will enable the sockets and accessories to meet
the performance requirements of this specification. Acceptance or approval of a constituent material shall
not be construed as a guaranty of acceptance of the finished product.
3.3.1 Fungus resistance. Materials used in the construction of these sockets shall be fungus inert in
accordance with MIL-STD-810, method 508.5, amount of growth none, rating 0.
