This standard establishes a test method to impose axial forces on the connector contacts to determine the ability of the connector to withstand forces that tend to displace contacts from their proper location within the connector insert and resist contact pullout. These forces may be the result of: ?? loads on wire connected to the contacts; ?? forces required to restrict contact push-through during assembly of removable type contacts into connector inserts; ?? forces produced by mating contacts during connector mating; ?? dynamic forces produced by vibration and shock during normal use of the connectors; ?? forces relating to bundling strains on the wire.
