5. PACKAGING
MIL-S-4040G
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purposes, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the contract or order (see 6.2). When actual packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD personnel, these personnel need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain requisite packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are maintained by the Inventory Control Point's packaging activity within the Military Department or Defense Agency, or within the Military Department's System Command. Packaging data retrieval is available from the managing Military Department's or Defense Agency's automated packaging files, CD-ROM products, or by contacting the responsible packaging activity.
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. Solenoids conforming to this specification are intended for use in direct or alternating current (single or multiphase) electrical systems. Their principle areas of application are aircraft, missiles, spacecraft, and ground support equipment. This does not preclude the use of these solenoids in other military applications.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents must specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of the specification.
b. Title, number, and date of the applicable product specification or engineering drawing.
c. Issue of DoDISS to be cited in the solicitation, and if required, the specific issue of individual documents referenced (see 2.2.1).
d. Packaging requirements (see 5.1).
6.3 First article inspection. When first article inspection is required (see 3.2), the contracting officer should provide specific guidance to offerors on whether the item(s) should be a preproduction sample, a first article sample, a first production item, a sample selected from the first 13 production items, or a standard production item from the contractor's current inventory. The number of items of items to be tested should be as specified in 4.5. The contracting officer should also include specific instructions in acquisition documents regarding arrangements for inspections, approval of first article test results, and disposition of first articles. Invitations for bids should specify that the Government reserves the right to waive the requirement for samples for first article inspection to those bidders offering a product which has been previously acquired or tested by the Government, and the bidders offering such products, who wish to rely on such production or testing, must furnish evidence with the bid that prior Government approval is appropriate for the pending contract. Bidders should not submit alternate bids unless specifically requested to do so in the solicitation.
6.4 Part or Identifying Number (PIN). All specification sheets previously associated with this basic specification have been cancelled; therefore, military PIN information is no longer applicable.
6.5 Intermetallic contact. The finishing of metallic areas to be placed in intimate contact before assembly presents a special problem, since intermetallic contact of dissimilar metals results in electrolytic couples which promote corrosion through galvanic action. To provide the required corrosion protection, intermetallic couples are restricted to those specified in MIL-STD-889.
6.6 Definitions.
Deactuating voltage - The coil voltage at which the coil releases the plunger or armature to its deenergized position with rated mechanical load.
Maximum operating voltage - The maximum anticipated voltage at which a solenoid is required to operate. Minimum operating voltage - The minimum anticipated voltage at which a solenoid is required to operate.
