In order to ensure the reliability and stability of connectors after mating, standards like EIA-364-13C (International Electrotechnical Commission's Plugging and Unplugging Force Test Specification) have been established. Frequent plugging and unplugging puts a lot of strain on the connections, which is why a permanently reliable function must be guaranteed Mobile devices and consumer electronics: Frequently used connectors, such as USB or charging plugs, must be robust enough to withstand repeated use in everyday. Wherever electronic devices are used, and networks are created, plug connectors are in use. Connectors and connectors must therefore meet different requirements: Reliability, robustness and durability are relevant prerequisites for high safety and economic effectiveness. In this document, we will consider the effects of “current interruption,” which refers to disconnection of circuits while. 1. 1 Information in this section is intended to parallel the test method described in EIA-RS-364/TP-09. 1 A connector (plug and receptacle) complete with all applicable guide, keying. Unplugging equipment doesn't always satisfy LOTO requirements.
