 Foreword (This Foreword is not a part of American National Standard Shock Testing for Electrical Indicating Instru-
ments, C39.3-1976.)

This standard is a revision of American National Standard Specifications for Lightweight

Shock-Testing Mechanism for Electrical Indicating Instruments, C39.3-1948, which was reaf-
firmed in 1961 and 1968.
This revision describes and specifies two methods, which produce essentially equivalent shock
characteristics, for the testing of electrical indicating instruments to determine their resistance
to mechanical shock.
Method I is an adaptation of a design originally made by the National Bureau of Standards. The
drawings for the mechanism were originally furnished through the courtesy of the U S . Army
Signal Corps, Ground Signal Service (now U.S. Army Electronics Command).
The design is the result of very careful study of the problems involved and should be followed
unless it is absolutely necessary to deviate because of the unavailability of materials or shop
facilities. In such case extreme caution should be exercised in making changes, since, in general,
if comparable results are to be obtained in shock tests made on anything except compact solid
structures, the testing apparatus must be dynamically similar. Thus the geometric configurations
of the testing apparatus must be similar, and the elastic constants of the materials used identical;
the masses must be proportional to the cube of the dimensions, and the velocities of the parts
at the time of impact the same. For these reasons, tests performed on apparatus of this kind
with a spring having a constant different from that specified should not be assumed to be
comparable, unless it has been demonstrated by comparative tests that the effects of the de-
viation from dynamic similarity are negligible.
The apparatus described for Method I was specifically designed for 2.5- and 3.5-inch electrical
indicating instruments; however, it may be adapted to the shock testing of other equipment
components 4 inches and smaller and weighing not more than about 4 pounds. When the
apparatus is used for the latter purpose, the considerations outlined in the preceding should
always be kept in mind if satisfactory and consistent results are to be obtained.
Method II is an adaptation of Method 213 of MIL-STD-202E, Test Methods for Electrical and
Electronic Component Parts, September 1976. Only the half-sine shock pulse is specified in
order t o maintain shock characteristics substantially equivalent to those of Method I. Method
II may, therefore, be used as an alternative to Method I.
Method II differs from Method I insofar as the design of the shock-testing machine is not
specified; however, the half-sine shock pulse waveforms are included with tolerances. The
frequency response, including tolerances, of the measuring system is also given.
A model of a suitable test fixture is provided, together with specifications. The instrument under
test is to be mounted firmly on the test fiiture using the mounting hardware supplied or
specified for the instrument. The use of the test fixture and its proper orientation on the
shock machine facilitate the application of shock blows along the three mutually perpendicu-
lar axes of a mounted instrument.
Adapter plates or other test fixture configurations, or both, may be used, provided a rigid
structure is maintained. Any yielding under shock could produce inconsistent results.
This standard was originally developed during World War II under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Standards Association. When the war ended, the Sectional Committee on Electrical In-
dicating Instruments, C39, reviewed this work and made certain modifications in the light of
experience gained during the war years.
Work on this revision was begun in 1973 by a subcommittee sponsored by the National Elec-
trical Manufacturers Association.

SINE WAVE (IDEAL)

Vi=2AD/n
Y =vi ?IO%

NOTE: The oscillogram should include a time about 3 0 long with the pulse located approximately in the center. The integration
to determine velocity change should extend from 0.40 before the pulse to 0.1D beyond the pulse. The acceleration amplitude
of the ideal half-sine pulse is A, and its duration is D. Any measured acceleration pulse that can be contained between the dashed-
line boundaries is a nominal half-sine pulse of nominal amplitude A and nominal duration D.The velocity change associated with
the measured acceleration pulse is V.
