E. Random Vibration
Mated specimens were subjected to a random vibration test, specified by a random vibration
spectrum, with excitation frequency bounds of 50 and 2000 Hz. The Power Spectral Density (PSD)
at 50 Hz was 0.01 G
2
/Hz. The spectrum sloped up at 6 dB per octave to a PSD of 0.04 G
2
/Hz at
100 Hz. The spectrum was flat at 0.04 G
2
/Hz from 100 to 1000 Hz. The spectrum sloped down at 6
dB per octave to the upper boundary frequency of 2000 Hz at which the PSD was 0.01 G
2
/Hz. The
root-mean square amplitude of the excitation was 23.91 GRMS.
F. Mechanical Shock, Sawtooth
Mated specimens were subjected to a mechanical shock test having a sawtooth waveform of 100
gravity units (g peak) and a duration of 6 milliseconds. Three shocks in each direction were applied
along the 3 mutually perpendicular planes for a total of 18 shocks. Specimens were monitored for
discontinuities of 1 microsecond or greater using a current of 100 milliamperes DC.
G. Connector Mating Force
The force required to mate individual specimens was measured using a tensile/compression
device with a free floating fixture and a rate of travel of 1 inch per minute.
H. Connector Unmating Force
The force required to unmate individual specimens was measured using a tensile/compression
device with a free floating fixture and a rate of travel of 1 inch per minute.
I. Durability
Specimens were mated and unmated at a maximum rate of 150 cycles per hour.
J. Thermal Shock
Mated specimens were subjected to 5 cycles of thermal shock with each cycle consisting of 30
minute dwells at -65 and 105°C with 1 minute transition between temperatures.
K. Humidity/temperature Cycling
Mated specimens were exposed to 10 humidity/temperature cycles. Each cycle lasted 24 hours
and consisted of cycling the temperature between 25 and 65°C twice while maintaining high
humidity.
L. Mixed Flowing Gas, Class III
Mated specimens were exposed for 20 days to a mixed flowing gas Class III exposure. Class III
exposure is defined as a temperature of 30°C and a relative humidity of 75% with the pollutants of
Cl
2
at 20 ppb, NO
2
at 200 ppb and H
2
S at 100 ppb.
M. Temperature Life
Mated specimens were exposed to a temperature of 105°C for 500 hours.

A. LLCR|
LLCR measurements were made using a 4 terminal measuring technique. The test current was|
maintained at 100 milliamperes maximum with a 20 millivolt maximum open circuit voltage.|
