The contact normal force shall not be less than 75 grams when tested in accordance with BUS-03-

404 Section 3.2 (probe method). Refer to Figure 2.0. The following process shall be used:

7.4.1

Solder the receptacle and header connectors to a printed circuit board.

7.4.2

Select the receptacle terminal positions to be measured.

7.4.3

Measure the maximum terminal gap between the selected positions and the opposite row

of terminals in the receptacle connector.

7.4.4

Measure the minimum width across the selected positions and the opposite row of

terminals of the header connector.

7.4.5

Using an "L" shaped probe, Lab Fixture Number MF149, Figure 2, deflect the contact

positions on the instron tester.

7.4.6

The minimum beam deflection occurs on the long row of terminals. Calculate the

minimum beam deflection as follows:

V = Minimum width across the header terminals.

W = Maximum gap between receptacle terminals.

Z = Deflection of terminals in the long row.

A = Number of terminals in the short row.

B = Number of terminals in the long row.

A*(V-W)

Minimum deflection (Z) = ------------

(A+B)

7.4.7

Starting at the bottom of the force-deflection curve where the terminal begins to deflect,

move up the curve a distance equal to the minimum deflection, Z, to find the minimum

normal force. Measure a minimum of 5 contacts per connector.

7.5

BOARD RETENTION

The force to remove the header and receptacle connectors from a P.C. board shall be no less than

10 lbs. when both the hold-downs and the terminal leads are soldered in place. The crosshead

speed shall be no greater than 0.2 inches per minute.
