It may also be used for similar devices when specified in a detail specification. The object of this test procedure is to detail a standard test method to assess the capability of polarizing and or keying of connectors to allow intended mating and prevent unintended mating. 2 Normativereferences The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
