4.5.17.1 Plugs. Support the 000-gauge cables at a point 1.0 ± 0.1 foot below and
1.0 ± 0.1 foot to the side of the axis of the handle of the plug. Engage the plug with its mating
receptacle for the duration of the test. Mount the combination to the vibration fixture. Support
the plug only by the receptacle. Apply the vibration to the plug through the receptacle only.
Subject the connectors to an applied acceleration of ±10 g or an applied double amplitude of 0.10
inch (whichever is less) between 5 and 500 Hertz. Perform the vibration in all three axes for
three hours per axis with a logarithmic frequency-change rate in 15-minute cycles. Examine the
plug for the requirements of 3.12.13. Perform the test of 4.5.6.1. Examine the plug for the
requirements of 3.12.13. Perform the tests of 4.5.8.1 and 4.5.9.1. Examine the plug for the
requirements of 3.12.13.
4.5.17.2 Receptacles. Mount the receptacle to the vibration fixture. Engage the
receptacle with its mating plug for the duration of the test. Support the 000-gauge cables on the
vibration fixture at a point 1.0 ± 0.1 foot below and 1.0 ± 0.1 foot to the side of the axis of the
handle of the plug. Subject the connectors to an applied acceleration of ±10 g or an applied
double amplitude of 0.10 inch (whichever is less) between 5 and 500 Hertz. Perform the
vibration in all three axes for three hours per axis with a logarithmic frequency-change rate in
15-minute cycles. Examine the receptacle for the requirements of 3.12.13 Perform the test of
4.5.6.1. Examine the receptacle for the requirements of 3.12.13;
4.5.18 Air-tightness test (applies only to receptacles). Mount the receptacle on an
airtight box. Connect the box to a source of air pressure. Apply a pressure of 2.0 ± 0.2 pounds
per square inch to the inside of the box. Submerge the assembly in water. Examine the
receptacle for the requirements of 3.12.16.
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as
specified in the contract or order (see 6.2). When packaging of materiel is to be performed by
DoD or in-house contractor personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging
activity to ascertain packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the
Inventory Control Point's packaging activities within the Military Service or Defense Agency, or
within the military service's system commands. Packaging data retrieval is available from the
managing Military Department's or Defense Agency's automated packaging files, CD-ROM
products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.
