ECIA EIA/ECA-364-29C

This standard establishes a test method to impose axial forceson the connector contacts to determine the ability of the connectorto withstand forces that tend to displace contacts from theirproper location within the connector insert and resist contactpullout. These forces may be the result of:

loads on wire connected to the contacts;

— forces required to restrict contact push-through duringassembly of removable type contacts into connector inserts;

— forces produced by mating contacts during connectormating;

— dynamic forces produced by vibration and shock during normaluse of the connectors;

— forces relating to bundling strains on the wire.

Object

The object of this test procedure is to detail a standard methodto assess the ability of the contact retaining system to withstandthe axial mechanical stresses likely to be encountered duringnormal usage.
