MIL-DTL-26500G
4.3.4 Failures. Any failures shall be cause for refusal to grant qualification approval.
4.3.5 Retention of qualification. To retain qualification, the supplier shall forward a report to the
qualifying activity at 12-month intervals for groups A and B, and 24-month intervals for group C.
The qualifying activity shall establish the initial reporting date. The report shall consist of the following:
a. A summary of the results of the tests performed for inspection of product for delivery (groups A
and B), indicating as a minimum the number of lots that have passed and the number that have
failed. The results of tests of all reworked lots shall be identified and accounted for.
b. A summary of the results of tests performed for qualification verification inspection (group C),
including the number and mode of failures. The summary shall include results of all qualification
verification inspection tests performed and completed during the 24-month period. If the summary
of the test results indicates nonconformance with specification requirements, and corrective action
acceptable to the qualifying activity has not been taken, action may be taken to remove the failing
product from the qualified products list.
Failure to submit the report within 30 days after the end of each reporting period may result in loss of
qualification for the product. In addition to the periodic submission of inspection data, the supplier shall
immediately notify the qualifying activity at any time during the reporting period that the inspection data
indicates failure of the qualified product to meet the requirements of this specification.
In the event that no production occurred during the reporting period, a report shall be submitted certifying
that the company still has the capabilities and facilities necessary to produce the item. If there has been
no production during two (2) consecutive reporting periods, the manufacturer may be required, at the
discretion of the qualifying activity, to submit connector assemblies for testing in accordance with the
qualification inspection requirements.
4.3.6 Qualification of contacts (except hermetics). Crimp, removeable contacts supplied with
MIL-DTL-26500 connectors shall be qualified for listing on the QPL for SAE-AS39029.
4.4 Conformance inspection.
4.4.1 Inspection lot. An inspection lot shall consist of all connectors covered by the same specification
sheets, produced under essentially the same conditions and offered for inspection at one time. In-
process controls, unrelated to lot sizes of finished connectors, may be used, provided an inspection
method equivalent to the actual testing level is maintained.
4.4.1.1 Group A inspection. Connectors shall be subjected to the individual tests shown in tables VII or
group A inspection, the documentation and standard test conditions of EIA-364 do not apply.
