Classes F and S withstand 48-hour salt spray.

Durability
Minimum of 500 mating cycles.

Fluid Resistance
Connectors resist specified immersions in MIL-PRF-7808,
MIL-PRF-23699, MIL-PRF-5606, M2-V Chevron oil, Coolanol
25, MIL-DTL-83133 (JP-8), MIL-DTL-5624 (JP-4, JP-5),
SAE-AMS1424 Type I, and other solvents and cleaning agents.

Shielding Effectiveness
RFI and EMI attenuation at the specified frequencies meet
the requirements of MIL-DTL-38999.

• RFI shielding effectiveness of mated connectors with RFI
  backshells is measured in a triaxial radio frequency leakage
  fixture.
• EMI shielding effectiveness is measured at the interface
  of mated connectors and tested by the mode-stirred
  technique specified in method 3008 of MIL-STD-1344.

Environmental Seal
Wired, mated connectors with specified accessories
attached, shall meet the altitude-immersion test specified in
MIL-DTL-38999.

Shell-to-Shell Conductivity
Maximum potential drop shall not exceed:

• Classes F and S = 1.0 millivolt.
• Class W = 2.5 millivolts, Class K = 10.0 millivolts

Shock and Vibration Requirements
Wired, mated connectors shall not be damaged, nor shall
there be a current interruption longer than one microsecond
when subjected to the following:

Shock
Pulse of approximate half sine wave of 300 G ±15 percent magnitude
with duration of 3±1 milliseconds applied in three axes.

High Impact Shock
When mounted as specified in MIL-S-901, grade A, a drop
of a 400 lb. Hammer from 1 foot, 3 feet and 5 feet applied to
connector in three axes, totaling nine impacts.

Vibration
Wired and mated connectors withstand the following
vibration levels:

• Sine vibration where connector samples with simulated
  accessory load are subjected to simple harmonic motion
  from 10 to 2,000 Hz in three mutually perpendicular axes,
  in 20 minute sweeps, for 12 hours in each axis at velocity of
  254 mm/sec from 10-50 Hz, displacement of 1.5 mm from
  50-140Hz and acceleration of 60G from 140-2,000Hz.
• Random Vibration per MIL-STD-1344, method 205,
  test condition V at ambient temperature and test
  condition VI, Letter “J” at elevated temperature.
