MIL-DTL-24308 Standard Test for Coaxial Cables

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of MIL-DTL-24308 testing. MIL-DTL-24308 is a military specification covering D-miniature connectors used in military and aerospace applications.

Here are some of the tests typically performed on D-miniature connectors for compliance with MIL-DTL-24308:

• Contact resistance test: This test measures the resistance of the connector contacts. It ensures good electrical contact between mating connectors.
• Dielectric withstand voltage test: This test measures the connector's ability to withstand high voltage without failing. It ensures that the connector can withstand electrical surges without failure.
• Insulation resistance test: This test measures the resistance of the insulation between the contacts and the connector shell. It ensures that there is no current leakage between the contacts and the shell.
• Endurance testing: This test subjects the connector to repeated mating and mismatching cycles to simulate real-world use. It ensures that the connector can withstand the mechanical stresses of frequent mating and mismatching.
• Contact hold test: This test measures the force required to pull the contacts out of the connector. It ensures that the contacts are held securely in the connector and are not easily dislodged.
• Temperature cycling test: This test subjects the connector to extreme temperatures to test its ability to withstand temperature changes without failure. It ensures reliable operation of the connector in various environmental conditions.
• Salt spray test: This test subjects the connector to a salt spray environment to test its resistance to corrosion. It ensures that the connector can withstand exposure to salt and other corrosive substances commonly found in marine and coastal environments.

The specific tests performed may vary depending on the connector type and application requirements.

Compliance with MIL-DTL-24308 ensures that D-miniature connectors meet performance requirements for use in military and aerospace applications.
