4.6.2.5 Noncompliance. If a sample fails to pass periodic inspection the manufacturer shall take corrective action on the
materials or processes, or both, as warranted, and on all units for product which can be corrected and which were, manufactured
under essentially the same condition with essentially the same materials, processes, etc., and which are considered subject to the
same failures. Normal inspection shall be discontinued until corrective action, acceptable to the Government, has been taken.
After the corrective action has been taken, periodic inspection shall be repeated on new samples. Group A inspection may be
reinstituted; however, final acceptance shall be withheld until the periodic inspection has shown that the corrective action was
successful, In the event of a failure after reinspection, information concerning the failure and corrective action taken shall be
furnished to the qualifying activity.
4.7 Methods of inspection.
4.7.1 Test methods. The following identified tests and test methods assure connector and contact integrity within typical
operating conditions and applications. Alternate commercial industry standard test methods are allowed however when an
alternate method is used, the alternate method must be coordinated with the qualifying activity prior to performance of the test. The
test methods described herein are proven methods and shall be the referee method in cases of dispute.
4.7.1.1 Inspection of product. Connectors and associated hardware shall be examined to verify that the design, construction,
physical dimensions, marking, and workmanship are in accordance with the applicable requirements (see 3.1, 3.3, 3.4, 3.7, 3.7.1
and 3.8).
4.7.1.2 Final inspection of product. Final examination of crimp contacts shall include a thorough examination to insure that
identification markings are legible, the contact is free from mechanical defects, there are no cracks around the crimp area, and the
contacts meet the physical requirements specified herein. Examination shall be made with a device having magnification power of
approximately 3X.
4.7.2 Magnetic permeability (see 3.6.1). Permeability shall be measure on classes G, E, and P connectors with an instrument
conforming to ASTM-A342. The connectors may be wired or unwired but shall not be carrying current.
4.7.3 Maintenance aging (crimp contact connectors only) (see 3.6.2). Maintenance aging shall be conducted in accordance with
method 2002 of MIL-STD-1344, the following details shall apply:
a. M81969/01-4 tool shall be used.
b. Installation requirements (see 4.5.1.1).
c. Initial requirements; All contacts shall be removed and reinserted once. Connectors shall be mated and unmated once
and force values recorded as specified in 4.7.5.
d. Following the test, contact insertion and removal (see 4.7.4) and mating and unmating force (see 4.7.5) shall be
performed.
4.7.4 Contact insertion and removal force (see 3.6.3). Contact insertion and removal force shall be conducted in accordance
with method 2012 of MIL-STD-1344, the following details shall apply:
a. Wire (see 4.5.1.1).
b. Forces: As specified in 3.6.3.
