8 inch printed wiring boards, and for interconnections between printed wiring boards. The connectors are intended to provide a reliable connection between printed wiring and conventional wiring. The interconnector concept is intended to provide connection of printed wiring on one board to printed wiring on another board.

4.3 Preparation of samples.

4.3.1 Connectors. Unless otherwise specified (see 3.1), connectors having solder type contacts shall be wired using

no. 20 AWG wire in accordance with MIL-DTL-16878, type E.

4.3.2 Crimped contacts. Contacts shall be crimped to the appropriate wire size. The wire size shall be in accordance

with MIL-DTL-16878, type E.

4.4 Qualification inspection. Qualification inspection shall be performed at a laboratory acceptable to the

Government (see 6.3) on sample units produced with equipment and procedures normally used in production. Use of

alternate materials, platings and processes (see 3.3) shall be identified for inclusion in the product test documentation.

4.4.1 Sample size. Ten connectors assemblies (with a full complement of contacts) of each style shall be subjected

to qualification inspection. The samples shall be of the size, mounting provision, and class of the connectors as

specified (see 3.1).

4.4.1.1 Individual contact measurements. Unless otherwise specified herein or in the individual specification sheet,

individual contact measurements shall be made on 15 contacts in each connector or 50 percent of the contacts in each

connector where the number of measurements are limited by style to less than 15 contacts.

4.4.1.2 Crimp type contacts. Fifty crimp type contacts for which approval is desired shall be crimped to the

appropriate wire size. Where a contact covers a range of wire sizes, one-half of the contacts of each group shall be

crimped to the smallest wire size in the range.

4.4.2 Inspection routine. The sample shall be subjected to the inspections specified in tables VIII and IX, as

applicable, in the order shown. The sample shall be divided as specified in tables VIII and IX, and the sample units

subjected to the inspection for their particular group.

4.4.3 Failures. One or more failures shall be cause for refusal to grant qualification approval.

4.4.4 Verification of qualification. To retain qualification, the contractor shall verify in coordination with qualifying

activity the capability of manufacturing products which meet the requirements of this specification. The qualifying

activity shall be notified whenever inspection data indicates failure of the qualified product to meet the performance

requirements of this specification.
