Cable/Harness Testing Made Easy. The total number of test points needed is a constant dilemma. Best practice is to test every point in every connector. Sometimes people will scrimp on the number of test points needed by populating only the contact positions in their fixturing with the pins actually used in the cable or harness to be tested. This month we look at some of the considerations you should think about in deciding to partially or fully populate your test fixturing. In the next few months we will expand on this topic and provide some guidance to help you choose what you need. If you have any questions or comments, call us at 1-800-441-9910. Best Regards, |
