This test procedure establishes a test method to determine
whether corrosion products as a result of residual corrosive
elements may be created on contact surfaces. Said products may be a
result from improper cleaning or lack thereof, improper processes,
entrapped particulates, etc. The following plating systems (but not
limited to) are of interest.
— gold over copper (alloys) with or without nickel
underplate,
— gold over palladium-nickel over copper (alloys) with or
without nickel underplate,
— silver plated systems with or without underplates.
This test procedure does not determine to what extent, if any,
the performance of the product tested may be affected by the
presence of residual corrosive elements on the contacts or
connectors and any resulting corrosion from the test exposure. Any
effect that the existence of residual corrosive elements may have
on product performance would be dependent on many factors including
the product design, the location, type, concentration of residual
corrosive elements, and the actual application of the product.
