1. SCOPE
1.1. Content
This specification covers the performance, tests and quality standards for the contact inserts of
heavy duty connector series HA-003/ HA-004/ HA-010/ HA-016/ HA-032(2x 16)/ HA-048(3x 16)/
HA-064(4x 16). The contact inserts are available for positions number 3/4/10/16/32/48/64.
The termination conductor-contact insert is affected via:
1).a crimp contact which is fitted into the contact insert. The contact insert is designed for
conductors of 0.14 mm² up to 4.0 mm².
2). a screw contact which is integrate into the contact insert. The contact insert is designed for
conductors 0.5 mm² up to 2.5 mm².
3).a spring clamp contact which is integrate into the contact insert. The contact insert is designed
for conductors 0.5 mm² up to 2.5mm².
1.2. Qualification
When tests are performed, the following specified specifications and standards shall be used. All
inspections shall be performed using the applicable inspection plan and product drawing.

4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
4.1. Qualification Testing
A. Specimen Selection
Specimens shall be prepared in accordance with product drawing and shall be selected
at random from current production.
B. Test Sequence
The samples shall be prepared in accordance with product drawings. They shall be
selected at random from current production.
4.2. Requalification Testing
If changes significantly affecting form, fit or functions are made to the product or manufacturing
process, product assurance shall coordinate requalification testing, consisting of all or part of the
original testing sequence as determined by development/product, quality and reliability
engineering.
4.3. Acceptance
Acceptance is based on verification that the product meets the requirements of paragraph 3.5.
Failures attributed to equipment, test setup or operator deficiencies shall not disqualify the
product. If product failure occurs, corrective action shall be taken and specimens resubmitted for
qualification. Testing to confirm corrective action is required before re-submittal.
4.4. 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. Bulk wire resistance shall be subtracted from resistance readings.
