MIL-DTL-83517A
4.1.1 Test equipment and inspection facilities. Test and measuring equipment and inspection facilities
of sufficient accuracy, quality, and quantity to permit performance of the required inspection shall be
established and maintained by the contractor. The establishment and maintenance of the calibration
system to control the accuracy of the measuring test equipment (Industry or Military Standard) shall be
required.
4.1.2 Product assurance program. A product assurance program shall be established maintained in
accordance with MIL-STD-790 (or equivalent as approved by the Qualifying activity). Evidence of such
compliance shall be verified by the qualifying activity of this specification as a prerequisite for initial and
continued qualification.
4.2 Inspection conditions. Unless otherwise specified, all inspections shall be performed in accordance
with the test conditions specified in the "GENERAL REQUIREMENTS" of MIL-STD-202 and the test
methods of EIA 364. For each of threaded coupling connectors, where the test is performed on mated
pairs, the pair shall be torqued to the specified value (see 3.1).
4.3 Qualification inspection. Qualification inspection shall be performed at a laboratory acceptable to
the Government (see 6.4) on sample units produced with equipment and procedures normally used in
production.
4.3.1 Sample size. Nine connectors of the same PIN with its mating connector shall be subjected to
qualification inspection.
4.3.2 Group qualification. For group qualification of all series of connectors covered by this
specification, see 3.1. The Government reserves the right to authorize performance of any or all
qualification inspection of additional types in the group that are considered necessary for qualification
within each group.
4.3.3 Inspection routine. The sample shall be subjected to the inspection specified in table II. All
sample units shall be subjected to the inspection of group I. The sample units shall then be divided into
three groups consisting of three connectors each. The sample units shall then be subjected to the
inspection for their particular group and in the sequence given for that group.
4.3.4 Failures. One or more failures shall be cause for refusal to grant qualification approval.
4.3.5 Retention of qualification. To retain qualification, the contractor shall verify in coordination with
the qualifying activity the capability of manufacturing products which meet the performance requirements
of this specification. Refer to the qualifying activity for the guidelines necessary to retain qualification to
this particular specification. The contractor shall immediately notify the qualifying activity at any time that
the inspection data indicates failure of the qualified products to meet the performance requirements of this
specification.
4.3.6 Extension of qualification. Manufacturers who have products listed on QPL-39012 and produce
connectors of the same series in accordance with this specification, may apply to the qualifying activity for
extension of qualification to this specification, provided the interfacial coupling, materials, and plating of
the connectors are identical, and the connector successfully meets the requirements of groups I, II, III and
IV of table II.
4.4 Conformance inspection.
4.4.1 Inspection of product for delivery. Inspection of product for delivery shall consist of groups A and
