Contact engaging force. See Figure 5 for maxim um force per
contact.
TE Spec 109-35.
Measure force to engage using gage 2
as indicated in Figure 6. Engagement
depth: .230 ± .010.
Contact separating force. See Figure 5 for minimum force per contact. TE Spec 109-35.
Size 3 times using gage 2 as indicated in
Figure 6, insert gage 1 and measure
force to separate. Separation depth: .230
± .010.

Durability. Show no evidence of dam age; contact
engaging and separating force.
EIA 364-9C, except cycle rate shall not
exceed 300 cycles per hour.
Contacts shall be installed in a suitable
fixture and subjected to 500 cycles for
precious metal plated contacts and 50
cycles for tin plated contacts. The
applicable counterpart connector inserts
may be used for the fixture.
