Performance verification
The following paragraphs discuss performance verificatio
procedures for the Model 7036, including channel resis-
tance, offset current, contact potential, and isolation.
CAUTION
Contamination will degrade the perfor-
mance of the switch card. To avoid con-
tamination, always grasp the card by
the side edges and shields. Do not touch
the connectors, and do not touch the
board surfaces or components. On
plugs and receptacles, do not touch
areas adjacent to the electrical contacts.
NOTE
Failure of any performance verification
test may indicate that the switch card is
contaminated. See the Handling and
cleaning precautions paragraph to clean
the card.
Environmental conditions
All verification measurements should be made at an ambient
temperature between 18
°
and 28
°
C, and at a relative humid-
ity of less than 70%.
Recommended equipment
Table 5-1 summarizes the equipment necessary for perfor-
mance verification, along with an application for each unit.
Switch card connections
The following information summarizes methods that can be
used to connect test instrumentation to the connector card.
Detailed connection information is provided in Section 3.
