3.6.3 Vibration. When the complete connector assembly, wired with the appropriate size wire, is tested
as specified in 4.5.4, there shall be no cracking, breaking, or loosening of parts. There shall be no loss of
electrical continuity of any of the contact circuits.
3.6.4 Mechanical shock (specified pulse). When tested as specified in 4.5.5, there shall be no evidence
of mechanical failure of metallic or dielectric materials.
3.6.5 Insertion and withdrawal force (mated connectors). When tested as specified in 4.5.6, the force
required to either engage or separate any pair of mated connectors (plug and receptacle) shall not exceed
a maximum force of 30 pound-force (13.6 kilogram force).
3.6.6 Durability. The connector assembly shall withstand the test specified in 4.5.7 without evidence or
mechanical damage.
3.6.7 Contact resistance. When tested as specified in 4.5.8, the resistance of mated pin and socket
contacts at +25°C ±3°C, shall not exceed the voltage drop at the current rating specified in table IV.

3.6.8 Contract retention. Individual contacts shall withstand the axial loads shown in 4.5.9.
3.6.9 Contact separation. When tested as specified in 4.5.10, the force to separate an individual gauge
pin of minimum size shall meet the minimum individual force and not exceed the maximum individual
force values shown in table V.
