FIGURE 2. Example of PIN (see MIL-DTL-16878G).
Configuration and dimensions:
See figure 1 and table I
Operating voltage:
Up to 600 volts
Up to 150 °C
Operating temperature:
Insulation:
Extruded silicone rubber
Spark test voltage:
3.0 kV
Impulse dielectric test voltage:
6.5 kV, or 4.6 kV using the 3.0 kHz spark test
Dielectric withstanding voltage:

Insulation resistance:
IR = K log10 D/d
Where: IR = Minimum insulation resistance in megohms
per 1000 feet at 20 °C
K = 1,000
D = Maximum average diameter of finished wire
d = Conductor diameter
