Testing Electrical Connections
Testing Electrical Connections
(OP)
Can someone help me with some guidance.
Is there a good way to test the integrity of a crimped electrical connection?
Is there equipment that can do this on a completed assembly scale?

Pull tests are very telling. If it unplugs easily you have problems. If the wire comes out of the terminal you have problems.
Generally if the mechanical tests are passed the electrical are redundant.

Wow, that's a brave statement. Megger, T&R and Cropico will all be pleased to know that...

Companies like Amp/Tyco have crimping tools with built-in ratchets so the crimps are always identical. If you use the right wire and the right tool, the crimps were identical. Likewise the Amp/Tyco automated bench tools used machined die sets for the same consistency. For quality assembly work, this is the way to do it.

AVO and Megger are the same company, never heard of those other ones. Let me rephrase. For people in the power system testing industry AVO (Megger) and AEMC are the most popular choices. Hows that?
