6.2 Power contacts tested at specified Current (34A DC /Quad Contact):
The contact resistance at a specified current shall not exceed 0.6 mΩ (milliohms) initially or after mating
cycles and environmental exposure when measured in accordance with EIA 364-06.
6.3. Insulation Resistance:
•
•
Test condition: per EIA 364-21. Apply with a test voltage 500 VDC between the closest adjacent
contacts.
Requirement: the insulation resistance shall be exceed 5,000M (mega ohms) minimum for
power contact and 500M minimum for signal contact.
6.4. Dielectric Withstanding Voltage:
•
•
Test condition: per EIA 364-20. Apply with test voltage 1800 VDC for power contact and 500 VDC
for signal contact.
Requirement: there shall be no evidence of arc-over, insulation breakdown, or excessive leakage
current (>1 mA).
6.5 Current Rating:
•
Test condition: Energize the series of the power contacts of both upper and lower row, including
signal contacts.
a) Ambient conditions: still air at Lab ambient
b) Reference: EIA 364-70 specification
c) Copper trace weight: 2 external layers copper trace and 5 oz. test boards
d) Feed wire size: (Ref. EIA 364-70 specification)
o
e) Maximum 30 C temperature rise
Requirement:
Develop temperature rise versus current curves for 56 total Power pin on upper and lower line and
12 Signal pin. Increase current level to 9A for each power pin and 1.5A for each signal pin until all
o
contacts have exceeded 30 C temperature rise. The current rating is to be determined by the
o
current level at which the first contact exceeds 30 C temperature rise.
