7.1 The basic design objectives are that the equipment will meet
the detailed requirements levied in paragraph 6. and will reflect the utmost
in simplicity, have maximum reliability consistent wi., the state of
the art and be easy to operate and maintain.
7.2 All lamps, fuses, and other plug-in items shall be se&red with
positive holding clamps and shall be. capable of being easily released
_'or replacement. These clamps shall be sufficiently sturdy to _ etain
t.-: parts in their proper position under the conditions of shock and
vibration specified.
7.3 Mating connectors shall be furnished with all connecto receptacles
or plugs.
7.4 All terminal strips and connectors shall be adequately marked in
a permanent manner so as to identify the facilitate replacement of
connections.
7.5 Screw threads for all threaded securing devices shall be of the
unified thread series in accordance with Handbook H 28 and supplement
thereto, and shall be of the coarse of fine thread series.
7.5.1 All screws, studs and nuts shall be of brass or
non-ferrous material of comparable strength protected against
corrosion, except where strength requirements dicta. the use

ports or assemblies wherein th*e use of uhreaded device's is
governed by the part or assembly specif:'caticn or to ;ccial
mechanical parts which are primarily of ferrous construction.
7.5.2 Thread cutting or shxeet metal screw.- shL,11 nog be
used except where their removal from the part is . re ote
possibility and their use is acceptable to the technical officer.
.The use of thread cutting screws is acceptable when used to secure
identification or information pates to the equipment.
7.6 Screws or similar devices employed for retaining front panels
or removable cover plates shall be of captive types and shall earDley
slotted head or knurled and slotted heads. They shall be of sue
design as to be capable of definite individual loosening ,rior tb
movement of the part to which they are captive. Design and construction
shall be such as to provide for their self-alignment their etain-
ing nuts, blocks or inserts w ""out sticking -arid without damage to
their threads. Quarter turn fastener-may be used as peel; other than
front panel, and cover plate retaining devices for non-structural
applications.
7.7 Hexagonal nuts are preferred for general usage. Square nuts
may be used only when they are captive or floating as part of a faltering
device. Knurled circular mounting nuts are satisfactory for use on
potentiometer, jacks, toggle switches and similar commercial components.
7.7.1 When self-locking nuts with non-metallic inserts

7.3 All thread-locking devices such as lockwashers shall be=fabricated of corrosion-resistant metals or shall be soreated t
rosist corrosion. All nuts, other than self-locking nuts, and machine
screws shall require a lockwasher, or equivalent, under the nut Or
under the screw head (except flat head screws) if no not is used.- Flat
head screws not secured -by nut and loc_cwasher conhinationc shall be
secured by an application of a suitable liquid material such as
"loctite" or equivalent..
7.9, The materials used in the construction of equipment and the
methods of application shall be as specified ho rein. Materials whoa
are not otherwise covered shall be of the best commercial quality;, of
the lightest practicable weight, entirely suitable for the purpose
and readily available. However, only nonflammable and nontoxic
materials shall be used in the construction of the equipment.
7.10 Materials which are not nutrients for fungus shall be used
wherever possible. The use of fungus nutrient materials will note be
prohibited in hermetically sealed assemblies and other accepted add
proven products, such as paper capacitors and treated transformer.
if it is necessary to use nutrient materials, they will be treated
by a method which will render the resulting exposed surface fungus-
resistant. All machine operations should be completed prior to this
surface treatment.
7.11 Metal parts shall be of a corrosion resisting material cr
of a material given a corrosion-resistant treatment or coating.
7.11.1 Dissimilar metals shall not be used in intimate
contact unless suitably protected a,ainst electrolytic corrosion.
When it is necessary that any combination of such dissimilar ret?ls
be assembled, an interposing materi 1l LL;,~

those used in hermetically aealed- assemblies shall not require impregria
tion. A cotton-based or. linen-based laminated or molded-plastic material
shall not be used for electrical insulation.
7.13 The thickness of electrodeposited-metallic coatings hall
in all cases be adequate to assure conformance with the srecifidation
for corrosion resistance. Plating is not required .on "parts such as
bearings, gears and shafts fabricated from brass, bronzor corrosion-
resistant steels, unless they are in contact with dissimilar metals
,under corrosive conditions. Under
. these conditions an interposing
material may bean electrodeposited coating of a properly selected
metal.
7.1A Parts fabricated from aluminum alloys shall be cleane=d with
a cleaning solution such as caustic dip followed by a chemical treatment
such as alodineA or equivalent. Where electrical properties area of
no consideration, clear anodizing may be used instead of the chemical
treatment. Prior to painting, all aluminum alloys must to treatbd
with one of the foregoing methods.

may reasonably be expected to cause injury during normal oyoe-atiori
or because of malfunctioning of equipment. The length of projecting
and overhanging edges shall be held to a minimum and all proecti
edges and corners shall be rounded. The design and construction hall
be such that the outside cases and francs of all units, that -is, all
external parts shall be at ground potential when the equipment is -in
