MIL-PRF-19/3D
5. PACKAGING
5.1 Packaging. For acquisition purpose, the packaging requirements shall be as specified in the contract or order
(see 6.2). When packaging of materiel is to be performed by DoD or in-house contractor personnel, these personnel
need to contact the responsible packaging activity to ascertain packaging requirements. Packaging requirements are
maintained by the Inventory Control Point's packaging activities within the Military Service or Defense Agency, or
within the military services system commands. 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 general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not mandatory.)
6.1 Notes. The notes specified in MIL-PRF-19 will be applicable to this specification.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents must specify the following:
a.
Title, number, and date of this specification, and the complete PIN (see 1.2).
b.
c.
If not otherwise specified, the version of the individual documents referenced will be those in effect on
the sate of the solicitation (see 2.1).
d.
Packaging requirements (see 5.1)
e.
Mounting nut dimensions across the hexagonal flats, if other than 0.500 inch.
6.3 PIN. This specification requires a PIN that describes technology and appropriate references to associated
6.4 Tin whisker growth. The use of alloys with tin content greater than 97 percent, by mass, may exhibit tin
whisker growth problems after manufacture. Tin whiskers may occur anytime from a day to years after manufacture
and can develop under typical operating conditions, on products that use such materials. Conformal coatings applied
over top of a whisker-prone surface will not prevent the formation of tin whiskers. Alloys of 3 percent lead, by mass,
have shown to inhibit the growth of tin whiskers. For additional information on this matter, refer to
ASTM-B545 (Standard Specification for Electrodeposited Coatings of Tin).
6.5 Changes from previous issue. The margins of this specification are marked with vertical lines to indicate where
changes from the previous issue were made. This was done as a convenience only and the Government assumes no
liability whatsoever for any inaccuracies in these notations. Bidders and contractors are cautioned to evaluate the
requirements of this document based on the entire content irrespective of the marginal notations and relationship to
the last previous issue.
