(OP)
I'm looking for a tester, or suggestions how to, for AMP BLADE type connector that will measure the quaility of the engagement.  I have experanced erratic connections in 40 year old control card racks that are repeatedly removed for calibration

the recepticale  is shown here
http://catalog.tycoelectronics.com/TE/bin/TE.Connect?C=1&M=BYPN&TCPN=1-582261-1&RQPN=1-582261-1

the connector will still be in the rack about 14" deep, I envision a spring rectracted blade in a tube that once released will let me measaure how much engagenent the blade makes after the minumun insertion force is meet.

Any one been here before?
