TestReport Qualification Test Report for Swing Arm Backshell 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose To verify compliance with all required specifications. 1.2 Scope This report covers electrical, mechanical and environmental performance testing of Glenair Swing Arm Backshell strain relief clamps and EMI shield terminations with strain relief. The information in this report was obtained from a series of tests conducted by the test facilities in the table below. Test report documents are on file at Glenair, Glendale, California and are available upon request.

Swing Arm products have an articulating arm that allows the backshell to quickly adjust and lock into three positions—straight, 45, and 90. Made of injection-molded, high temperature thermoplastic composite Ultem (PEI) reinforced with fiber glass, the Swing Arm is 16 QwikConnect April 2007
available as a strain relief clamp, or in two EMI shield sock termination options: nickel-plated copper braid sock or metalized composite thermoplastic braid sock. 1.5 Test Specimens Swing Arm Backshell strain reliefs, 627A(H)122X0 type and EMI nickel-plated copper shield termination strain reliefs, 319A(H)064XO(XN) type, in sizes small, medium and large for Groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 were used as described in table 2.

Three (3) samples of each size group shall be tested. Small group shell size 10/11. Medium group shell size 16/17 and large group shell size 24/25 shall represent all shell sizes for purposes of this qualification. A combination of straight and 90º configured assemblies were tested. System Test Groups 2 & 3 had the cable dead end inside the dummy test connector by sealing and tape wrapping the cable to fit snuggly inside the bore (representing a wired mated connector). The assembly was wired using standard practices and Glenair’s braid sock backshell procedure GAP-027, attachment 2. Component Test Group 4 required coupons for Flammability, Smoke & Toxicity tests. Indirect lightning strike, hydrolytic stability and fluid resistance test were performed on a complete backshell assembly. QwikConnect · April 2007 17
