Connector Inspection Service Points

CONNECTOR INSPECTION SERVICE POINTS

VISUAL INSPECTION

Connector Visual Inspection:




^ Connector is disconnected or improperly connected

^ Connector pins are pulled out

^ Harness wire breakage due to harness tension at terminal section

^ Low contact pressure between male and female terminals

^ Low connection pressure due to rusted terminals or foreign matter lodged in terminals

CONNECTOR PIN INSPECTION

Connector Pin Inspection:




If the connector pin stopper is damaged, the terminal connections (male and female pins) will not be perfect even when the connector body is connected, because the pins may pull out of the back side of the connector. Therefore, gently pull the wires one by one to make sure that no pins pull out of the connector.

CONNECTOR ENGAGEMENT INSPECTION

Connector Engagement Inspection:




Use the special tool (connector pin connection pressure inspection harness of the inspection harness set) to inspect the engagement of the male pins and female pins. [Pin drawing force: 1 N (0.2 lbs.) or more]
