EIA 364-04-B-2015 PDF Download

The EIA 364-04-B-2015 standard provides guidelines for determining the magnitude of normal force exerted by a contact system at a specified deflection within its normal operating range. The standard aims to evaluate the electrical integrity and stability of the contact interface by assessing the relationship between normal force and contact pressure.

The standard offers two methods for measuring the normal force: method A and method B. Method A is the default when the referencing document does not specify a method. These methods allow for consistent and standardized assessment of the normal force, ensuring that connectors meet the required performance criteria.
