4.1 Qualification Testing
A.
Specimen Selection
Plugs and receptacles should be prepared in accordance with applicable Instruction Sheet and
should be elected at random from current production. Each test group shall consist of 3
specimens Min. unless otherwise stated.
B.
Test Sequence
Qualification inspection shall be verified by testing specimens as specified in figure 2.
4.2 Requalification testing
If changes significantly affecting form, fit or function are made to the product or manufacturing process
or controlling industry specification, 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 Figure 1. Failures
attributed to equipment, test setup or operator deficiencies shall not disqualify the product. If product
failure occurs, corrective action shall be taken and samples resubmitted for qualification. Testing to
confirm corrective action is required before resubmitted.
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.
