MIL-DTL-83502E
3.5.2 Body. The body shall be constructed with proper sections and radii so that it will not crack, chip,
or break in assembly or in normal service. Depressions, when used to achieve longer creepage paths,
shall not cause structural weakness, or moisture entrapment.
3.5.3 Polarization. A polarization feature (mechanical or visual) shall be incorporated in each socket
and shall be so designed that the mating lead is guided into the contact opening.
3.5.4 Alignment. The socket shall be so designed that the mating lead is guided into the contact
opening.
3.5.5 Mounting. When applicable, sockets shall be mounted as specified (see 3.1).
3.5.6 Contact wire wrappost. Unless otherwise specified, (see 3.1), the wire wrappost shall be:
a. Square 0.0225 inch (0. 572 mm) minimum.
b. Cross-section diagonal: 0.0325 inch (0.826 mm) minimum.
0.0355 inch (0.902 mm) maximum.
c. Edge radius shall not exceed 0.003 inch (0.08 mm).
d. Edge burrs 0.0015 inch (0.038 mm), maximum.
e. Parallel within 0.002 inch (0.05 mm).
f. Straight within 0.005 inch (0.13 mm).
g. Minimum wrappable length of 0.465 inch (11.81 mm) shall be maintained after allowing for insertion
into a size 2 (.054-0.070 inch (1.37-1.78 mm)) circuit board, (where applicable).
h. Tip of wire wrappost shall terminate in a radius, bevel, or chamfer to facilitate insertion into the wire
wrapping tool.
3.6 Mating force. When sockets are tested as specified in 4.8.3, the maximum mating force shall be
4 pound (17.8 N) max.
3.7 Contact withdrawal force. When sockets are tested as specified in 4.8.4, the withdrawal force shall
be not less than .5 ounce (0.14 N).
3.8 Contact retention. When unmated sockets are tested as specified in 4.8.5, there shall be no
damage or loosening of the contacts.
3.9 Insulation resistance. When unmated sockets are tested as specified in 4.8.6, the initial insulation
resistance shall be not less than 5,000 megohms.
3.10 Dielectric withstanding voltage. When sockets are tested as specified in 4.8.7, there shall be no
evidence of breakdown of insulation or flashover.
3.11 Contact resistance. When sockets are tested as specified in 4.8.8, the initial contact resistance
shall not exceed 20 milliohms, and after the durability and corrosive atmosphere tests, the contact
resistance shall not exceed the initial value by more than 10 milliohms.
3.12 Capacitance. When sockets are tested as specified in 4.8.9, the capacitance shall not exceed
2 picofarads.
