Performance Specifications Service Ratings**

Service Rating	Recommended Operating AC Voltage at Sea Level	Test Voltage AC (RMS), 60 cps
		Sea Level	50,000 ft.	70,000 ft.	110,000 ft.
I	600	1,500	500	375	200
II	1,000	2,300	750	500	200

** Service Rating is comparable to MS rating A. Miniature connectors rated Service Rating I will provide a minimum flashover voltage at sea level of 2,000 volts AC (RMS). Service Rating II is comparable to MS Service Rating D, and will provide a minimum flashover voltage of 2,800 volts AC (RMS) at sea level.

Please note that the electrical data given is not an establishment of electrical safety factors. This is left entirely in the designer�s hands, as he can best determine which peak voltage, switching surges, transients, etc. can be expected in a particular circuit.
