MIL-DTL-25516F
4.7.9 Durability (see 3.6.8). Parts of mated connectors shall be tested in accordance with test
procedure 009 of EIA 364. The connectors shall be mated and unmated 500 times.
4.7.10 Cable retention force (except classes H and Y). The connector shall be properly wired to a
3-foot length of cable and connected in a test circuit to indicate any discontinuity. It shall then be
subjected to an axial pull force which will tend to pull the attached cable from the connector. The cable
shall not separate from the connector nor indicate discontinuity between the shield and the shell or the
center conductor and the center contact (see 3.6.9).
4.7.11 Side load (except classes H and Y) (see 3.6.10).
4.7.11.1 Cable plugs. Cable plugs and right-angle cable plugs shall be mated with a fixed, mounted
receptacle and shall withstand a side-load force of 30 pounds or 90 percent of breaking strength of cable
applied at the cable end and at right angles to the major axis of the mounted jack (see figure 2a and 2b).
4.7.11.2 Cable receptacles. A side-load test shall not be required for cable receptacles.
4.7.11.3 Panel mounting receptacles. Panel mounting receptacles shall be mounted on a panel and
shall withstand a side-load force of 30 pounds or 90 percent of breaking strength of cable applied at the
cable end and at right angles to the major axis (see figure 2c).
4.7.11.4 Adapters. Adapters shall be secured to a fixed, mounted receptacle or clamped in a vise and
shall withstand a side-load force of 25 pounds applied at the other end and at right angles to the major
axis (see figure 2d).
4.7.12 Hermetic sealing (except class G) (see 3.6.11). Connectors shall be in accordance with test
procedure 002 of EIA 364. The following detail shall apply:
The pressure differential shall be one atmosphere.
4.7.13 Thermal shock. A pair of mated and wired connectors shall be tested in accordance with test
procedure 032 of EIA 364, test condition I, 5 cycles (see 3.6.12).
4.7.14 Shock (see 3.6.13). A pair of wired and mated connectors shall be tested in accordance with
test procedure 027 of EIA 364, test condition A. The following details and exceptions shall apply:
a. Connectors shall be mounted on the shock device or carriage as shown on figure 3 of the vibration
test.
b. The connector shall be fully wired and the cable clamped to points that move with the connector. A
minimum of 8 inches of cable shall be unsupported behind the rear of each connector.
c. Inner and outer contacts shall be wired in series and a test current of 100 milliamperes flowing
during the test. The open circuit voltage shall be 6 volts. A check shall be made for interruption of
the test current.
d. After testing, the connectors shall have remained mated and mechanically functional.
