MIL-DTL-83522E
3.5.3.10 Ozone exposure (when specified see 3.1). When tested as specified in 4.8.11, there shall be no evidence of cracking
or other deterioration of plastic and rubber parts that could lead to degradation of the optical or environmental performance of the
connector as specified herein.
3.5.3.11 Fluid immersion. When tested as specified in 4.8.12, the optical performance shall remain within the limits specified in
3.5.1.2. Visual examination of the test connector shall reveal no swelling or softening or material, no loss of sealing capability or
identification marking, and no discoloration or other effects detrimental to the intended use of these connectors, such as corrosion,
distortion, blistering, or delamination of plating as a result of fluid immersion.
3.5.3.12 Temperature life. Connectors shall show no visual evidence of dimensional change, opening of seals, cracking or other
physical damage. After the test, connectors shall meet the maximum insertion loss and change in optical transmittance as specified in
3.5.3.13 Flammability. When tested in accordance with 4.8.13, the mated connector assembly shall meet the optical
requirements of 3.5.1.2. The unmated connector shall not exceed a combined flame and afterglow extinguishing time of 30 seconds
(condition C) after removal of applied flame. There shall be no dripping which will cause the flammable material to ignite and there shall
be no violent burning or explosive type fire.
3.5.3.14 Nuclear radiation resistance. When specified (see 3.1), the connector shall meet the optical requirements as specified
3.5.3.15 Temperature cycling. When tested as specified in 4.8.16, the connectors shall show no evidence of mechanical
damage, loosening of component parts, separation of bonded surfaces, or other damage and the optical performance shall be within
the limits specified in 3.5.1.2.
3.5.4 Space flight requirements.
3.5.4.1 Thermal vacuum outgassing. All non-metal materials shall not emit greater than 1.0% total mass loss and greater than
0.1 percent collected volatile condensable materials when test in accordance with 4.9.1.
3.5.4.2 Residual magnetism. When tested in accordance with 4.9.2, the residual magnetism for fully assembled connectors
shall meet gamma levels as specified in the specification sheet (see 3.1).
Odor. Non-metal materials shall rate less than 2.5 when tested in accordance with 4.9.3.
3.5.4.3
3.5.4.4 Toxicity (offgassing). When tested in accordance with 4.9.4, all non-metals shall have a total hazard index less than 0.5.
3.6 Marking.
3.6.1 Component marking. Connectors and associated fittings shall be permanently and legibly marked in accordance with
the general requirements of MIL-STD-1285. Marking shall be located on the connector body or on the boot. Marking shall include the
following:
a. Military Part or Identifying Number (PIN).
b. Manufacturer's CAGE code or name or logo.
3.6.2 Package marking. Package marking shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-129.
3.7 Workmanship. Connectors and associated fittings shall be processed in such a manner as to be uniform in quality and shall be
free from sharp edges, burrs and other defects that will affect life, serviceability, or appearance.
4. VERIFICATION
4.1 Classification of inspections. The inspection requirements specified herein are classified as follows:
a. Materials inspection (see 4.4).
b. Qualification inspection (see 4.5).
c. Quality conformance inspection (see 4.6).
4.2 Responsibility for inspection. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchase order, the contractor is responsible for the
performance of all inspection requirements (examinations and tests) as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract
or purchase order, the contractor may use his own or any other facilities suitable for the performance of the inspection requirements
specified herein, unless disapproved by the Government. The Government reserves the right to perform any of the inspections set forth
in the specification where such inspections are deemed necessary to ensure supplies and services conform to prescribed requirements.
