activity. Group A inspection may be reinstituted; however, final acceptance shall be withheld until the
group B inspection has shown that the corrective action was successful. In the event of failure after
reinspection, information concerning the failure and corrective action taken shall be furnished to the
cognizant inspection activity and the qualifying activity.
4.6 Methods of inspection. The following identified tests and test methods assure dummy load
integrity within typical operating conditions and applications. Alternate commercial industry standard test
methods are allowed; however when an alternate method is used, the qualifying activity must be notified
prior to the performance of the test. The test methods described herein are proven methods and shall be
the referee methods in case of dispute.
4.6.1 Visual and mechanical examination. Dummy loads shall be examined to verify that the materials,
design, construction, physical dimensions, finish, marking, and workmanship are in accordance with the
4.6.2 Force to engage/disengage (see 3.5).
4.6.2.1 Bayonet and threaded types (see 3.5.1). The RF connector of the dummy load shall be
engaged with its mating standard part. During the entire coupling/uncoupling cycle (until the connector is
fully engaged/disengaged) the force and/or torque necessary shall not exceed those specified (see 3.1).
A threaded coupled connector is fully engaged with its mating standard part when their reference plans
coincide. A bayonet coupled connector is fully engaged with its mating standard part when the bayonet
stubs have passed the decent and their reference planes coincide. No additional torque shall be applied.
The mating standard part is a steel jig containing the critical interface dimensions. It's spring members
when applicable shall be heat treated copper beryllium. As an option for this test, a qualified mating
connector may be used in place of the standard steel jig with the approval of the qualifying agency.
4.6.2.2 Push-on connector types (see 3.5.2). The connector of the dummy load under test shall be
engaged with its standard mating part (gage). During the engaging cycle, the force necessary to fully
engage the connector shall not exceed that specified (see 3.1). Upon completion of engagement, an
opposite force necessary for disengagement shall be applied. This force shall be within the limits
specified, and shall include any unlatching force required. As an option for this test, a qualified mating
connector may be used in place of the standard steel jig with the approval of the qualifying agency
4.6.3 Coupling proof torque (see 3.6). The connector of the dummy load under test shall be engaged
with its standard mating part (gage) and the coupling nut tightened to the torque specified (see 3.1). After
one minute, the connector of the dummy load and its mating standard part shall be disengaged. As an
option for this test, a qualified mating connector may be used in place of the standard steel jig with the
approval of the qualifying agency.
4.6.4 Connector durability (see 3.7). The connector of the dummy load shall be subjected to the
number of cycles of mating and unmating specified (see 3.1). The connector of the dummy load and its
mating part shall be completely engaged and completely disengaged during the cycle. Lubrication of the
threads or rotational parts shall not be employed for this test unless specified (see 3.1). It is permissible
to shake or blow debris from the threads or interface surfaces at intervals of not less than 50 cycles.
Solvents shall not be used for cleaning.
4.6.5 Solderability (see 3.8). The terminal of the dummy loads shall be tested in accordance with
method 208 of MIL-STD-202. Where applicable a heat sink may be used.
4.6.6 Resistance to soldering heat (see 3.9). Dummy loads shall be tested in accordance with method
210 of MIL-STD-202. The following details and exceptions shall apply:
