Object The object of this test procedure is to detail a standard method to assess the ability of electrical components to withstand specified severities of mechanical shock. General This test is conducted for the purpose of determining the suitability of connectors and connector assemblies when subjected to shocks such as those that may be expected as a result of rough handling, transportation and operational conditions. This test differs from other shock tests in that the design of the shock machine is not specified, but the half-sine and sawtooth shock pulse waveforms are specified with tolerances. The frequency response of the measuring systems is also specified with tolerances.
