Adhesive is coated over the wires and over the area between the wires in a uniform manner and cured/set. The test specimen is then subjected to 45C / 96% relative humidity / 250 volts d.c. for 5 days. The aged specimen is then visually examined for corrosion/attack of the copper surface Pass No aluminum, brass or steel Mil S-46163 10 days Room Tempterature corrosion or discoloration.
