FEATURES TEST CONDITIONS LIMITS
3.7
Single contact engaging
force
Engage single rec.ctc. onto tab
counterpart using a free floating
fixture with a rate of 25-
100mm/min of travel speed
(tab as shown in Fig.1)
≤ 8N
3.8
Single contact
disengaging force
Separate single rec.ctc. from tab
counterpart using a free floating
fixture with a rate of 25-
100mm/min of travel speed
(tab as shown in Fig.1)
≥ 2,5N
3.9
Retention force of the
single contact in the
housings
Apply an axial force to pull out
contacts from relevant hsg.
cavity using a free floating fixture
