MIL-DTL-83513G
4.4.2.1.4 Noncompliance. If a sample fails to pass group C inspection, the manufacturer shall notify
the qualifying activity and the cognizant inspection activity of such failure and take corrective action on
the materials or processes, or both, as warranted, and on all units of product which can be corrected and
which were manufactured under essentially the same materials and processes, and which are considered
subject to the same failure. Acceptance of the product shall be discontinued until corrective action,
acceptable to the qualifying activity has been taken. After the corrective action has been taken, group C
inspection shall be repeated on additional sample units (all inspections, or the inspection which the
original sample failed, at the option of the qualifying activity). Groups A and B inspections may be
reinstituted; however, final acceptance and shipment shall be withheld until the group C inspection has
shown that the corrective action was successful. In the event of failure after reinspection, information
concerning the failure and corrective action shall be made available to the cognizant inspection activity
and the qualifying activity.
4.5 Methods of inspection.
4.5.1 Test methods. The following tests and test methods assure connector integrity within typical
operating conditions and applications. Alternate commercial industry standard test methods are allowed,
however when and alternate method is used, the qualifying activity must be notified prior to performance
of the test. The test methods described herein are proven methods and shall be the referee method in
cases of dispute.
4.5.2 Visual and mechanical inspection. Contacts and connectors shall be examined to ensure
conformance with this specification and the applicable detail documents not covered by the performance
requirements specified in 3.5. In process controls of component parts, unrelated to lot sizes of finished
connectors, may be utilized in lieu of examination of these components in the finished contacts or
connectors to assure conformance of these component parts. Examination in a continuing manner shall
be performed to assure compliance with the following requirements:
a. Specification sheets (3.1).
b. Materials (3.3 to 3.3.7, inclusive).
Design, construction and physical dimensions (3.4 to 3.4.5, inclusive).
c.
d. Marking (3.6).
e. Workmanship (3.7).
4.5.2.1 Final examination. Final examination of crimp contacts shall include a thorough examination to
insure that the contact is free from mechanical defects, that there are no cracks around the crimp area,
and that the contacts meet the physical requirements specified herein. Examination shall be made with a
device having magnification power of approximately 3X.
4.5.3 Magnetic permeability. Permeability shall be measured on connectors with an instrument in
accordance with ASTM A342/A342M. The connectors may be wired or unwired, but shall not be carrying
current. Requirements shall be as specified in 3.5.1.
