Standardized Test Procedure

1. Prepare the antenna coaxial socket for testing by ensuring the mating surface is clean, free of contaminants, and structurally sound.
2. Inspect the mechanical test plug for any signs of wear, deformation, or damage, verifying compliance with specified dimensional and material requirements.
3. Align the test plug with the antenna coaxial socket according to IEC 60065 Figure 9 and IEC 60169-2 Figure 7 assembly specifications.
4. Insert the test plug into the socket following standardized mechanical test protocols (including specified insertion force parameters and insertion/extraction cycle requirements) without exceeding maximum force limits.
5. Execute designated mechanical tests as defined in IEC 60065, including durability assessment, stress resistance evaluation, and retention force measurement.
6. Following test completion, remove the test plug and conduct thorough inspection of the socket for mechanical damage, dimensional deformation, or functional impairment.
7. Evaluate test results against IEC 60065 compliance criteria to determine mechanical performance and safety certification status.
