PERFORMANCE8 General
8.1 A connector and a production tab shall be in compliance with the requirements of the Crimp Pull-OutTest,Section 10.
8.2 A connector shall be in compliance with the requirements of the Engagement-Disengagement Test,Section 11 and the Temperature and Heat Cycling Tests,Section 12.
Exception: The Disengagement portion of the Engagement-Disengagement Test need not be performedon connectors that have a locking feature.
8.3 Compliance of a connector shall be based on the use of test tabs. A double-ended test tab shall beused for temperature and heat cycling tests. A single-ended test tab shall be used for all mechanical testsin this standard.
8.4 lInsulated terminals shall additionally be in compliance with the requirements of the Dielectric StrengthTests,Section 13,and Secureness of Insulation Test,Section 14.
8.5 The insulation of a terminal shall not crack or break when the terminal is assembled as intended onan insulated wire or wires.
8.6 A terminal that is intended for both field terminations of conductors and internal wiring connectionsshall be tested using the wires specified in 9.3 and 9.4.
9 Preparation of Samples
9.1 To determine if a terminal complies with the requirements in 8.1，representative samples of theterminal shall be assembled to lengths of wire or wires of the size or sizes and in the manner specified bythe manufacturer,see 16.7.
9.2 For the Crimp Pull-Out Test, Section 10, and the Engagement-Disengagement Test,Section 11, tennew connectors and ten new single-ended test tabs shall be used for each test. For the Temperature andHeat Cycling Tests,Section 12, ten new connectors and five new double-ended test tabs shall be used.Additional connectors and tabs are necessary to complete the test circuit illustrated in Figure 12.1.
9.2 revised March 8, 2005
9.3 Tin-plated wire with stranding, as specified in Table 9.1 under the heading "internal wiring" shall beused for tests on a terminal intended only for internal wiring connections. The wire shall havethermoplastic insulation not greater than 1/32 inch (0.8 mm) thick.
