EIA-364-81A - COMBUSTION CHARACTERISTICS TEST PROCEDURE FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR HOUSINGS, CONNECTOR ASSEMBLIES AND SOCKETS
(From EIA Standards Proposal No. 5062, formulated under the cognizance EIA CE-2.0 Committee on National Connector Standards, and previously published in EIA-364-8 1 .)
Scope
This standard establishes test method that may be used to characterize the resistance of connector/socket housings, including composite housings in their as molded condition with and without contacts relative to flammability for a particular application.
Object
This test is classified as destructive and is not recommended for specimen lengths less than 25.4 millimeters (1 inch).
NOTE - The results of testing connector housings or connectors in accordance with this procedure shall not, in any way, be considered as a substitute rating for those established by other procedures used to evaluate material test bars.
