3.5.19 Resistance to test probe damage. Socket contacts shall meet the engaging and separating force

requirements

specified in 3.5.10 and shall show no evidence of visible damage when tested as specified in 4.5.21.

3.5.20 Fluid immersion. Connectors shall mate within the forces specified in 3.5.4 after being subjected to the fluid

immersion test

as specified in 4.5.22.

3.5.21 Insert retention.

3.5.21.1 Insert retention (classes D, G, M, and N). Inserts shall not be dislocated from their original positions with

an axial load of 60 lb/in

3.5.21.2 Insert retention (classes H and K). Classes H and K inserts shall not be dislocated from their original

positions or damaged when an effective pressure differential of 200 lb/in

3.5.22 Contact pin strength. After being subjected to mechanical loading specified in 4.5.25 pin contacts shall

exhibit a permanent set no greater than .005 inch.

3.5.23 Solderability. Solderable, nonremovable contact terminations shall withstand the test specified in 4.5.24.

Printed wiring tails shall meet the solderability requirements in accordance with MIL-STD-202, method 208.

3.5.24 Thermal vacuum outgassing (classes D, K, and M). The entire connector assembly, when tested

as

specified in 4.5.26, shall have maximum total mass loss (TML) of 1.0 percent of the original specimen mass and shall

have a maximum volatile condensable material (VCM) content of 0.1 percent of the original specimen mass.

3.5.25 Resistance to soldering heat. Solderable, nonremovable contact connectors shall withstand the tests

specified in 4.5.27.

3.6 Marking. Connectors shall be marked in accordance with method I of MIL-STD-1285 or an equivalent industry

standard, and shall include the military PIN (see 3.1), the manufacturer's name or code symbol, and date code.

3.6.1 Insert marking. Raised or depressed characters may be used. Markings are shown on the applicable military

specification sheet or standard. Socket face and pin faces are the opposite. Contact position markings shall appear

on both sides of the insert. On insulation displacement connectors, the first and last pin number of each row shall be

marked clearly on the housing.

3.6.1.1 Contact designations. All contact locations shall be designated by identifiable characters on the front and

rear faces of the insert or insert assembly. Positioning and arrangement of the characters shall be such that the

corresponding contact location may be readily identifiable. Connector shell marking and insert marking shall remain

legible after completion of the tests specified in 4.5.

3.6.2 Connector kit package. Each connector kit package shall contain a removable contact connector (marked

with the complete connector PIN), a full complement of contacts for the connector, and an applicable insertion/removal

tool as required by the detail specification sheet (see 3.1).

3.7 Workmanship. Connectors shall be processed in such a manner as to be uniform in quality and shall be free

from burrs, crazing, cracks, voids, pimples, chips, blisters, pin holes, sharp cutting edges, and other defects that will

adversely affect life, serviceability, or appearance. Sharp cutting edges are acceptable on the terminations of IDC

connectors.
