DESCRIPTION
Samples are kept in a humidity cabinet containing air with a relative humidity between 91
to 95% and a temperature of 20°C-30°C for a
duration of 48 hours.
Voltages of 3000V±60V and 1500V±60V, with
min. trip current of 100mA is applied for 60s±5s
between current-carrying contacts and body and
between each contacts respectively after the
moisture resistance tests.
This test is measured with a D.C 500V after the
moisture resistance test.Readings are taken
after 60s ± 5s of application of voltage.
i) Min. 1.5N (2N for 16A) - A single pin made
to the minimum dimension is inserted into the
connector. The pin, together with the weight
should exert a force of 1.5N (2N for 16A
connector). Each individual pole of the
connector is tested seperately.
ii) Max. 50N (60N for 16A) - Insert and withdraw
the connector from a socket having pin dimension
to the maximum and shroud dimension to the
minimum for 10 times.The connector is then
inserted again into the socket hang with a total
weight of 50N(60N for 16A).The weight consist
of a principal weight which is 90% of the total
weight and a supplementary weight of 10%.
The test is repeated for hot connector with
temperature of 120°C±2°C on the pins.

Glow wire is applied for 30s with temperature of
750ºC on inserts and housings retaining contacts
and 650ºC on elsewhere.
The sample shall be loaded with a weight of 10N
for 0.75mm2 or 20N for 1.00mm2 or bigger and the
oscillating member shall be moved backward and
forward through an angle of 90°(45° on either
side of the vertical) the number of flexing being
20,000.A rated current is applied.
For round cord, the sample is turned 90 degree
around the axis of cable after 10,000 cycles.
The flexing is further completed in this axis.
Flat cable is flexed only along the bigger axis of
the cable.
The sample is dropped from a height of 50cm onto
a steel plate(3mm thick) for a total of 500 times.
The connector is connected and disconnected 50
times (100 strokes) with the inlet at a rate of 30
strokes per minute with 275V and 1.25 times of
rated current.
Test is similar to breaking capacity except that
the test voltage is 250V with the connector
connnected and disconnected with the inlet for
1000 times (2000 strokes) with rated current and
3000 times (6000 strokes) without current.
An alternating current at 1.25 times rated current
is passed through the current carrying contacts
for 1 hour.This is repeated for connector with
earth contact passing current between earth
and each of the current carrying contacts.
The cord is subjected to pulls of 50N(2.5A) or
60N(others) for 100 times each time for 1 sec.
without jerk.Thereafter the cord is subjected for
1 min. to a torque of 0.15Nm(0.75mm2) or
0.25Nm(others).
Samples are kept for 1 hour in a heating cabinet
at temperature of 100±2°C.
A pressure of 20N is applied at a temperature of
100°C ± 2°C for 1 hour.
