WIRE HARNESS TESTING

Product catalog summary
Overview: FEINMETALL is a market leader in wire harness testing technology, offering a wide range of contact probes and accessories for test modules. Their solutions cater to the evolving connector market, particularly in sectors like autonomous driving and electric vehicles.
Contact Probes for Wire Harness Test: FEINMETALL provides solutions for standard and customized connectors, addressing specific test requirements such as high voltage, radio frequency, high current, and kelvin tests.
Connector Test: Push back probes are used to verify the correct mounting of connector terminals by combining mechanical and electrical tests. They activate a switch function upon correct mounting.
Continuity Test: Threaded and twist-proof probes ensure secure seating in receptacles, checking for open wires, shorts, or miswires.
Position Test: Step probes test the correct terminal position within connector housings. Incorrectly mounted terminals block the probe, preventing electrical contact.
Presence Test: Various switch probes (ball switch, NO/NC, pneumatic, Off-On-Off) are used to verify the presence of necessary parts on the wire harness, such as clips and secondary locks.
Switch Probes: Standard switch probes are available in plug-in and threaded versions, functioning as openers or closers. Special Off-On-Off probes offer precise position tests with two switch points.
Position Sensor System (PSS): This system measures the plunger's travel and consists of a contact probe, receptacle, and sensor element with an integrated potentiometer.
Combi Receptacles: These allow solderless replacement of switch or kelvin probes, preventing incorrect wirings and saving maintenance time and costs.
High Voltage and Coaxial Probes: Designed for e-mobility applications, these probes handle high voltage conditions and enable kelvin measurements. Coaxial probes are used for low resistance measurements and continuity or high voltage tests.
Radio Frequency Probes: These are used in automotive connectors to verify the function of electronic components like control units and infotainment systems.
Conclusion: FEINMETALL's innovative solutions and extensive product range make them a driving force in wire harness testing, adapting to the rapid changes in the connector market.

WIRE HARNESS TEST Presence test The presence test is necessary to check if all needed parts were mounted on the wire harness. For example, the clips to fix the harness on the chassis or secondary locks, which are locking the connector. For these test applications different switch probe types are used. FEINMETALL offers a wide range of ball switch probes, NO or NC switch probes, pneumatic switch probes or Off-On-Off switch probes, depending on the requirement. Position test For the position test step probes are used. They allow the testing of the correct terminal position inside of the connector...

PRESENCE TEST Switch probes for backward assembly or potential-free Switch probes for backward assembly have been designed for applications with a difficult frontal access of the probes. Potential-free switch probes have a galvanically isolated switch circuit. This allows building short-circuit-proof fixtures or modules with separate electrical circuits. Pneumatic switch probes The pneumatic switch probe has been developed for a mechanical and lateral detecting of a DUT at limited space. The pneumatic movement of the plunger and the integrated switch function enables testing of the correct position...

POSITION TEST WITH STEP PROBES POSITION TEST Position test For the position test step probes are used. They allow the testing of the correct terminal position inside of the connector housing. If a terminal is not mounted correctly, the plate of the step probe blocks at the housing. As a result, the probe does not create an electrical contact. Innovative sloted step probes For step probes with oversized plates (plate diameter larger than probe diameter or wrench size), FEINMETALL has developed a 3-point-tool that allows mounting the probes even at very small centers. But also in other applications...

CONTINUITY TEST WITH THREADED AND TWIST PROOF PROBES CONTINUITY TEST Continuity Test For a standard continuity test mainly threaded and twist proof probes are used to ensure a secure seat in the receptacle even if vibrations or unintentional side forces occur. In addition, their function is to check three basic errors: open wires, shorts between wires or miswires. Overview threaded and twist proof probes More than 400 available variants for the common connector pitches of 50/75/94/100/157 mil.

PUSH BACK TEST PUSH BACK TEST Push Back Test Push back probes have a very high spring force to test if the connector terminals are mounted correctly. If so, they will withstand the pressure and compress the probe. Through this, a switch function will get activated and the correct mounting is confirmed. Push back probes combine mechanical and electrical tests within one probe. Mounting possibilities for push back probes VF100 Center 100mil Switch travel Switch travel
