CONTACT RETENTION TEST TOOLS
|
The quality assurance test most often overlooked is retention (proper seating of contacts). This important test can now be performed simply and in a matter of seconds with the DMC retention training testing tool in the following manner:
With the connector held stationary, the tester's tip is mated with each contact individually.
-
A pushing force is applied inline with the contact.
-
When the indicator band reaches the body of the tool, the test force has been obtained.
