Compounding this is that some OEMs not only want Class 3, but continuity resistance to not exceed 5 ohms and have net lengths in their board exceeding 750 mm (29.53 in.). This usu- ally leads to delays in final inspection and/or shipping of product until a waiver or master drawing deviation is obtained. In future months I'll be talking about a number of subjects pertinent to testing includ- ing military specifications vis-à-vis electrical test. I will cover the test requirements in specifi- cations 31032, 50884 and 55110. Meanwhile if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me, and as always, I welcome you to put me to the test. PCB table 2.
