QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
Qualification Testing
A.
Sample Selection
Connector housings and contacts shall be prepared in accordance with applicable Instruction
Sheets and shall be selected at random from current production. Test group 1 shall consist of 1
connector of each size, all representative of the entire lot being tested. Test groups 2 through 6
shall consist of 2 connector assemblies per group per wire size. Test group 7 shall consist of 15
contacts chosen randomly from 5 connector assemblies. Test group 8 shall consist of 4 connector
assemblies per wire size. Each wire size shall consist of solid, stranded and prefused or
overcoated wire; UL style 1007 or 1061 tin plated. Stranded wire shall consist of 7 strands. All
wires shall be applied in accordance with Application Specification 114-1020. Complete
qualification of the product line can be accomplished by sampling the product using all variations of
wire size, type and connector design. Partial qualification can be accomplished by using only one
variation of wire size, type or connector design.
B.
Test Sequence
Qualification inspection shall be verified by testing samples as specified in Figure 2.
4.2.
Acceptance
Acceptance is based on verification that the product meets the requirements of Figure 1. Failures
attributed to equipment, test setup or operator deficiencies shall not disqualify the product. If product
failure occurs, corrective action shall be taken and samples resubmitted for qualification. Testing to
confirm corrective action is required before resubmittal.
4.3.
Quality Conformance Inspection
The applicable quality inspection plan shall specify the sampling acceptable quality level to be used.
Dimensional and functional requirements shall be in accordance with the applicable product drawing
and this specification.
