EIA 364-117-2017 PDF Download

The EIA 364-117-2017 standard specifies a protocol for testing the dielectric breakdown voltage of these electrical components. The standard applies to various types of connectors, sockets, and coaxial contacts used in electrical systems.

The main objective of this standard is to outline a standardized method for measuring the dielectric breakdown voltage. This voltage is determined by subjecting the components to an electrical test, which helps identify their ability to withstand high voltages without experiencing a breakdown. By setting a standardized procedure, the EIA 364-117-2017 standard aims to ensure consistency and accuracy in dielectric breakdown voltage measurements across different types and manufacturers of electrical connectors, sockets, and coaxial contacts.

The dielectric breakdown voltage is a critical parameter to assess the reliability and safety of electrical components. This standard provides guidance on the test setup, such as the required equipment, test voltage levels, and duration of the test. It also describes the procedures for conducting the test, including the steps to follow, measurement methods, and acceptance criteria.
