2/ Corrosion and contact resistance test data must be submitted to DSCC-VQ before qualification approval may be granted.

NOTE: If a connector manufacturer produces a connector which meets all the requirements for two or more connector PINs (within the same series), the manufacturer may receive qualification approval for two or more connector PINs by qualifying the one connector. It is not necessary that such connectors be in the same group. Each connector, however, must be marked with its own appropriate PIN. For group qualification, the connectors must be of similar design. Qualification of connectors qualifies connectors of the same material and finish only.
