Electrical Characteristics
6.1
Contact Resistance, Low Level (LLCR) – EIA 364-23
The low level contact resistance for 2 to 6 pair configurations shall not initially exceed 60 milliohms
(Backplane) or 100 milliohms (Coplanar and RAOH to RAR). For 8 pair Plus Backplane (RAR to
Vertical Header), the initial resistance shall not exceed 100 milliohms;For 8 pair Plus RAOH to RAR,
the initial resistance for an 8 Column/Row shall not exceed 110 milliohms. For each 2 additional
columns/rows, another 10 milliohms initial resistance is allowed. For example, an 8 pair Plus x 16
column RAR mated to an RAOH shall not have an initial resistance in column / row 16 greater than
150 milliohms. The low level contact resistance shall also not exceed 10 milliohms increase in
resistance (from the initial measurement) after any treatment and/or environmental exposure. Note:
grounds within each IMLA/column shall be measured or calculated in parallel.
The following details shall apply:
a. Test Voltage - 20 milli-volts DC max open circuit.
b. Test Current - Not to exceed 100 milli-amperes.
c.
Number of readings: 500 minimum
6.2
Insulation Resistance – EIA 364-21
The insulation resistance of mated connectors shall not be less than 1000 M-ohms.
The following details shall apply:
a. Test Voltage - 500 volts DC
b. Electrification Time – 60 seconds.
c.
Points of Measurement – Between signal-to-signal and signal-to-ground within same IMLA.
d. Number of readings: 40 (10 readings per loose-piece connector set).
6.3
Dielectric Withstanding Voltage – EIA 364-20
There shall be no evidence of arc-over, insulation breakdown, or excessive leakage current > 0.5 mA.
The following details shall apply:
a. Test Voltage – 500 volts DC.
b. Test Duration - 60 seconds.
c.
Test Condition - 1 (760 Torr - sea level).
d. Points of Measurement – Between signal-to-signal and signal-to-ground within same IMLA.
