MIL-DTL-22992G
4.6.23 Contact engagement and separation forces (set 3.26). Sockets shall be mounted in a suitable
position or fixture for applying gradually increasing loads for the engagement and separation of test pins.
Half of the quantity of socket contacts used in this test shall be installed in inserts, while the remaining
socket cavities shall be unpopulated. Depth of engagement shall conform to that encountered in service.
The test pins shall be in accordance with SAE-AS31971, except for contact size 2/0 whose diameters
shall be a minimum of .4050 + .0001 - .0000 inch (10.3 +.0025 -.0000 mm) and a maximum of .4070 +
.0000 - .0001 inch (10.34 +.0000 -.0025 mm). The minimum diameter test pin shall be inserted and
removed from the socket and the separation force measured during removal. The maximum diameter
test pin shall be inserted and removed from the socket and the engagement force measured during
insertion.
4.6.24 Probe damage (contacts, size 16) (see 3.27). Contacts shall be tested as specified in
test procedure EIA-364-25 with the following details and exceptions:
a. A steel test probe of nominal pan contact diameter with a spherical tip shall be inserted into
each socket to .500 inch, .375 inch and .250 inch depths, measured from the face of the
inserts.
b. A bending moment of 2 inch-pounds ±10 % shall be applied about the inserted end and the
insert assembly shall be slowly rotated in one direction through 360 degrees.
c. This test shall be applied with the socket contacts in their inserts and the sockets locked, if
necessary, to prevent rotation in the inserts.
d. The diameter of the handle (.190) is not applicable.
4.6.25 Abrasion (see 3.28).
processed with aluminum connector parts, shall be subjected to 50,000 cycles on the TABER abraser,
or equivalent. Wheels used on the TABER abraser, or equivalent, shall be CS-I7 with a 1000-gram
load on each wheel. Wheels are to be redressed after every 10,000 cycles. Following the abrasion
test, salt spray (corrosion) shall be tested as specified in 4.6.13.
aluminum connector parts shall be subjected to 5,000 cycles on the TABER abraser or equivalent.
Wheels used on the TABER abraser or equivalent shall be CS-17 with 1,000-gram load on each wheel.
4.6.26 Shell-to-shell conductivity (see 3.29). Applicable to connectors with conductive finishes only.
Mated connectors shall be tested in accordance with test procedure EIA-364-83.
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the
contract or order (see 6.2). When packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD or in-house contractor
personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain packaging
requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point's packaging
activities within the Military Service or Defense Agency, or within the military service's system commands.
Packaging data retrieval is available from the managing Military Department's or Defense Agency's
automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.
