Z-Axis elastomeric connectors are engineered for high-reliability applications, ensuring stable performance under extreme mechanical and environmental stress.
Our connectors have undergone rigorous shock, vibration, and temperature cycle testing, proving their robustness for mission-critical applications.
Vibration Testing
MIL-STD-1344A, Method 2005.1
Test Conditions:
- Vibration Level: 16.4 grms
- Duration: 3 minutes per axis (X, Y, Z)
- Monitoring: Continuous electrical continuity check with a 1 µs oscilloscope resolution
Results:
- No open circuits detected during testing
- Minimal change in contact resistance after vibration exposure
- Stable electrical performance in all three axes
Vibration Test Fixture
Key Takeaway: Z-Axis connectors maintain electrical continuity even under high-vibration conditions, ensuring long-term reliability in motion-heavy environments.
Temperature Cycling
MIL-STD-1344A, Method 1003.1
Test Conditions:
- Temperature Range: -55ºC to +100ºC
- Cycles: 100 thermal cycles
- Monitoring: Continuous electrical continuity check during cycling
Results:
- No open circuits detected throughout 100 cycles
- Stable insulation resistance and dielectric withstand voltage
- Minimal shift in contact resistance, confirming long-term durability

Electrical Performance Validation
Additional testing confirmed compliance with MIL-STD-1344A standards for:
- Dielectric Withstand Voltage: Leakage current < 5 mA at 500VAC
- Insulation Resistance: >5000 MΩ at 250VDC
- Contact Resistance: < 25 mΩ for high-performance connectors
These results demonstrate that Z-Axis elastomeric connectors deliver consistent electrical performance even after exposure to severe mechanical and environmental stress.
