(Does not include wire resistance)
Terminate the applicable wire to the terminal
and measure wire using a voltage of 20 mV
and a current of 100 mA.
Unmate & unmount connectors: apply a
voltage of 500 VDC between adjacent
terminals and between terminals to ground.
Unmate connectors: apply a voltage of {two
times the rated voltage plus 1000 volts} VAC
for 1 minute between adjacent terminals and
between terminals to ground.
Measure between adjacent terminals at 1
MHz.
