contacts assembled at a speed of 100mm/min. to measure the load.
Then withdraw a socket connector at a speed of 100mm/min. without
activating the locking mechanism, and measure the load. | |
| Contact Insertion Force Into Housing | | Insert a crimped contact into a housing at a speed of 100mm/min. to
measure the load. | |
| Contact Retention | | Apply the axial load to a socket contact or a pin contact assembled
in a housing at a speed of 100mm/min. to measure the load when the
contact is withdrawn from the housing. | |
| Connector Retention | | Mate the pin header with the socket connector assembled with socket
contacts. Fix the pin header and pull the socket connector in the
axial direction to measure the load when the lock is broken or the
socket connector is withdrawn. | |
