Connector Test

1.Visual/Dimension Test

Reference standard：EIA-364-18

Purpose：This test determines if the connector exhibit obvious defects that would affect test results or if a test has exposed obvious physical defects by visual examination and dimensional inspection

2．  Mating and Unmating force test  

Reference standard：：EIA-364-13

Purpose：This test determines the forces required to mate and unmate connectors.

Principle：Mate and unmate connectors with required speed，and record the values

3   Durability Test

Reference standard：EIA-364-09

Purpose：This test determines the effects caused by subjecting electrical connectors or contacts to the conditioning action of mating and unmating, simulating the expected life of the connectors.

Principle：Mate and unmate connectors with required speed for specified test cycles

4． Insulation Resistance Test

      Reference standard：EIA-364-21

 Purpose：This test determines the extent to which insulating properties are affected by deteriorating influences, such as heat, moisture, contamination, or loss of volatile materials

Principle：Measuring the resistance offered by the insulating members of a component part to an impressed direct voltage tending to produce a leakage current through or on the surface of these members

 Test equipment::

5.   Withstanding Voltage Test

Reference standard：EIA-364-20

Purpose：This test determines whether insulating materials and spacings in the component parts are adequate.

Principle: The test consists of the application of a voltage higher than rated voltage for a specific time between mutually insulated portions of a connector or between insulated portions and ground. Observing connectors whether has discharge

 6．   Contact Resistance Test

 Reference standard：EIA-364-06/EIA-364-23

 Purpose：this test determines the contact resistance value

 Principle：Measuring the resistance of mated connector contacts attached to lengths of wire by measuring the voltage drop across the contacts while they are carrying a specified current.

7． Vibration Test

Reference standard：EIA-364-28

Purpose：This test determines the ability of connectors to withstand specified severities of Vibration.

8． Mechanical Shock Test

 Reference standard：EIA-364-27

 Purpose：This test determines the ability of connectors and connectors assemblies when subjected to shocks such as those that may be expected as a result of rough handing, transportation and operational conditions.

  9． Thermal Shock Test  

 Reference standard：EIA-364-32

 Purpose：This test determines the resistance of connectors to exposure at extremes of high and low temperatures and to the shock of alternate exposure to these extremes, simulating the worst probable conditions of storage, transportation and application.

10． Humidity Test

 Reference standard：EIA-364-31

Purpose：This test determines the ability of connector as they are influenced by the effects of high humidity and heat.

Principle：This is an accelerated environmental test, accomplished by the continuous exposure of the connectors to high relative humidity at various temperature.

11． Temperature Life Test

Reference standard：EIA-364-17

Purpose：This test determines the ability of connectors to withstanding elevated temperature

12． Salt Spray Test

  Reference standard：EIA-364-26

 Purpose：This test assesses the effects of a controlled salt-laden atmosphere on connector components, finishes, and mechanisms and permit electrical readings to be taken after exposure when specified.

13． Mixed Flowing Gas Test

  Reference standard：EIA-364-65

 Purpose：This test determine the reaction of plated or unplated surfaces when exposed to different concentrations of flowing gas mixtures.

14．Cable Flexing Test

 Reference standard：EIA-364-41

Purpose：This test determine the effectiveness of circular jacketed cable to plug seal to withstand strain under repeated alternating cable-flexing stresses as experienced in use with cable strain-relief design connectors.

15．Temperature Rise Versus Current Test

 Reference standard：：EIA-364-70

Purpose：This test determine the temperature rise while specified current through connectors
