Quality Assurance TestingAmphenolAerospaceAcceptance TestingAll filter connectors undergo extensive acceptance testing toassure product quality. An outline of standard accep tancetesting performed is as follows:Mechanical Inspection• Dimensional inspection of shells, keys, keyways andmount ing surfaces by either in-process inspection of componentsor inspection of final assemblies.• Visual inspection of contacts, inserts and seals, gaskets andsurface finish of shells and hardware.Electrical Tests• Insulation resistance of filter contacts is checked 100% at theworking voltage and to the test limit listed for each fil ter inthe filter selection data table.• Dielectric withstanding voltage is tested on 100% of filtercontacts at the voltage listed in the filter selection data table.• Capacitance is tested 100% at 1KHz.RFOutNetwork AnalyzerRefATTENUATION TEST CIRCUITSignalIn ReturnSpecial Tests/ProcessesIn addition to the standard acceptance testing and processes,the following additional production testing and processing canbe provided upon request:• Attenuation testing (through 100 MHz)• Leakage inspection• Thermal cycling/shock• Burn-in• De-gassingConsult Amphenol Aerospace for further information.QualificationsAmphenol ® filter connectors have been qualified and are onperiodic requalification to specification BSF-1 (available fromyour Amphenol representative). This is patterned afterMIL-DTL-38999, modified to include mechanical andenvironmental testing and electrical parameters important tofilter connector performance.These acceptance tests, along with exhaustive in-processinspection and testing, give Amphenol ® filter connectors theirreputation for reliability.38999III II I SJT26482 83723 III 5015Matrix 2Matrix PyleCrimp RearRelease Matrix26500 PylePrintedCircuit BoardPower SplitterTest SampleFixtureEMI FilterTransientThere are multiple test stationslocated on the Amphenol productionfloor that support all in-process,final electric and qualificationtesting as necessary.Fiber OpticsHigh SpeedContactsOptionsOthersContact Amphenol Aerospace for more information at 800-678-0141 • www.amphenol-aerospace.com285
