TP-112, ANSI/EIA-364-112 "Contact Resistance and Current Rating of Parallel Circuits Test Procedure for Electrical Connectors Contacts and Sockets," January 2010
This procedure applies to connectors and sockets when multiple circuits are electrically connected in a parallel configuration and there is a need to determine the expected parallel resistance and or current rating.

TP-41E, ANSI/EIA-364-41E "Cable Flexing Test Procedure for Electrical Connectors," January 2010
This standard establishes a method to determine the effectiveness of round jacketed cable to connector strain relief seal, or flat cable to connector strain relief seal or interface to withstand strain under repeated alternating cable-flexing stresses as experienced in use with molded or mechanical backshell cable strain-relief designs commonly used with electrical connectors.

TP-65B, ANSI/EIA-364-65B "Mixed Flowing Test Procedure for Electrical Connectors Contacts and Sockets," December 2009
This standard establishes the test procedure for producing environmentally related corrosive atmospheres to determine the reaction of plated or unplated surfaces when exposed to different concentrations of flowing gas mixtures.

TP-88A, ANSI/EIA-364-88A "Residual Magnetism Test Procedure for Electrical Connectors, Contacts and Sockets," November 2009
This standard establishes a test method to determine the residual magnetism of a connector after exposure to a specified magnetic field.

EIA-296-F "Lead Taping of Components in Axial Lead Configuration for Automatic Handling," September 2009
This standard includes the lead taping requirements for components having axial configured leads, provided these components may be taped in accordance with the requirements of this document.
