ANSI APPROVAL WITHDRAWN MARCH 2004
INTRODUCTION
Intent
This procedure is used to measure the retention characteristicsof the resilient member of a fiber optic component (most commonly aconnector). It is specifically intended for use when it isimpracticable to define acceptance/rejection criteria for resilientmembers by the use of size dimensions.
Description
The method is applicable to either male or female resilientmembers. For the case of a male member, a ring gauge is forced overthe member and the minimum frictional force to pull it off isassessed by its ability to pick up a weight. The procedure isidentical for a female resilient member except that a gauge pin issubstituted for the ring gauge.
Alternative Procedures
This test procedure is an alternative to the measurementprocedure, titled Gauge Retention Force, of IEC 874-1, ThirdEdition.
