Failure Rate Data and Factors
Non-operational base failure rates (λb) and operational base failure rates (λB) for four types of connectors are listed in Table A-1. This table also lists the operational environmental factors (KE) appropriate to the various ground (G1 and G2), ship (S1 and S2) and air (A1 and A2) environments.
Active Pin Factors (Kp) and Cycling Failure Rates (λcyc) are listed in Table A-37 and Table A-36 respectively. Note that when the number of cycling operations is less than 10 per 1000 operating hours, the cycling rate is negligible and taken as zero.
