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 Controls 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 automated packaging files,
CD-ROM products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not
mandatory.)
a. Class E connectors are intended for use in applications wherein extremes of temperature,
humidity, and barometric pressure are experienced. Moisture sealing is provided in engaged
pairs, but receptacles are not intended to contain pressure across the connector.
b. Class H connectors are intended for use in applications wherein pressures must be contained
by the connectors across the walls or panels on which they are mounted. The air leakage is to
be low enough to be termed hermetically sealed. Moisture and environmental protection similar
to the class E is provided on the engaging end only when class H receptacles are engaged with
counterpart class E connectors. Class H connectors are supplied only in receptacles with pin
contacts.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of this specification.
b. Title of connector by type and class with style and size.
c. Connector PIN containing identifying information on style, insert arrangement, and insert position
if other than normal.
d. Levels of preservation and packaging and packing required.
6.3 Qualification. With respect to products requiring qualification, awards will be made only for
products that, at the time of award, are qualified for inclusion in QPL No. 25955 whether or not such
products have actually been listed by that date. The attention of contractors is called to these
requirements and manufacturers are urged to arrange to have the products that they propose to offer to
the Federal Government tested for qualification in order that they may be eligible to be awarded contracts
or orders for the products covered by this specification. Information pertaining to qualification of products
may be obtained from the Defense Supply Center Columbus, P.O. Box 3990, ATTN: DSCC-VQ,
