MIL-DTL-22442/35B
3.3 Performance.
3.3.1 Temperature. The cord shall be flexible and resilient throughout the temperature range
of -55 to +85° C and shall not show evidence of cracking or other damage as a result of exposure
to the temperature range specified.
* 3.3.2 Flex life. The cord assembly shall have a mean flex life of 25,000 flexes without
showing evidence of:
a. Damage to the outside jacket.
b. Damage to the insulation of the individual conductors.
c. Continuity.
3.3.3 Electrical characteristics.
3.3.3.1 Dielectric withstanding voltage. There shall be no evidence of breakdown when the
cords are tested as specified in 4.5. Leakage currents shall be recorded and shall not vary more
than 30 percent from initial values.
3.3.3.2 Insulation resistance. When tested as specified in 4.6, the insulation resistance shall
not be less than 100 megohms.
3.3.4 Continuity. Each conductor in the cord shall be continuous when tested as specified in
4.7 and shall not exceed 4 millivolts drop above that of an equivalent length of the same
conductor with a test current of 1.6 amperes (dc).
4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
* 4.1 Inspections. The inspections listed in Table II of this specification sheet shall be
performed on the cordage before assembly into cable assemblies.
4.2 Tensile strength. The wire shall be tested to meet the requirements of 3.3.1.1. One
strand selected at random from a conductor shall be tested.
