Automatic Connector Insertion and Withdrawal Force Test Video
Watch EBC's automatic connector insertion and withdrawal force tester measure mating force, unmating force and cycle durability for wire harness connectors.
What this laboratory video demonstrates
Connector mating quality depends on a controlled balance: insertion force must be low enough for reliable assembly, while withdrawal force and contact retention must remain high enough to prevent accidental separation. This video shows EBC's fully automatic insertion and withdrawal force tester operating on connector components under repeatable motion and force conditions.
Why this test matters
The recorded force curve can expose terminal deformation, housing interference, alignment problems, excessive friction or insufficient contact normal force. Automated cycling also provides consistent data for comparing samples and monitoring durability. The method supports design validation, supplier comparison and failure analysis for automotive, industrial, consumer and equipment wire harness assemblies.
