3.5.13 Shock. Mated connectors shall not be damaged and there shall be no loosening of parts, nor
shall there be an interruption of electrical continuity or current flow longer than 1 microsecond during the
exposure to mechanical shock, as specified in 4.5.15.
3.5.14 Durability. Counterpart connectors shall show no mechanical or electrical defects detrimental to
the operation of the connector as specified in 3.5.2, 3.5.6, and 3.5.7 after 500 cycles of mating and
unmating as specified in 4.5.16.
3.5.15 Salt spray (corrosion). Mated connectors shall show no exposure of base metal due to
corrosion which will affect performance as specified in 3.5.2, 3.5.3, 3.5.6, and 3.5.19 when tested as
specified in 4.5.17.
3.5.16 Fluid immersion. After being subjected to the fluid immersion test of 4.5.18, connectors shall
3.5.17 Insert retention (class M). Insulators shall not be dislocated from their original positions when
an axial load of 50 pounds per square inch (psi) is applied as specified in 4.5.19.
3.5.18 Crimp tensile strength (type I contacts only). When tested as specified in 4.5.20, the wire shall
not break or pull out of the crimp at less than 5 pounds, 10 pounds for wire in accordance with SAE
AS22759/33 and DSCC Drawing 04035. Wire breakage other than at the crimp shall not constitute failure.
3.5.19 Low-signal level contact resistance. When tested as specified in 4.5.21, the contact resistance
shall be as specified in table VI.

3.5.20 Thermal vacuum outgassing (space classes only). The connector assembly, when tested as
specified in 4.5.22 shall have maximum total mass loss (TML) of 1.0 percent of the original specimen
mass and shall have a maximum volatile condensable material (VCM) content of 0.1 percent of the
original specimen mass.
3.6 Marking. Each connector shall be marked in accordance with MIL-STD-1285, method I and shall
include the military PIN (see 3.1), the manufacturer's name or CAGE code symbol, and date code.
Connector marking shall remain permanent and legible when tested as specified in 4.5.23.
3.7 Workmanship. Connectors and accessories shall meet all design dimensions and intermateability
requirements of this specification. Loose contacts, poor molding fabrication, damaged or improperly
assembled contacts, peeling or chipping of plating or finish, galling of mated parts, nicks and burrs of
metal parts and post molding warpage will be considered adequate basis for rejection of items due to
inferior quality for the purpose intended.
