  • Abstract
    The connector life test system is designed in order to study the connector service life in normal operating conditions. The connector life test system can provide an important reference for designers to improve the mechanical structure, materials to improve product quality and life. The test system including mechanical unit, the human-computer interaction unit, motion control unit, and insertion/removal force test units, achieves automatic insert-withdraw of connectors and insertion / removal force measuring with the mutual cooperation of each units. The contact position of connector contact pair´s is transformed randomly to make the simulation test more close to the actual situation during the accelerated test. The system can provide necessary means for Life Prediction of the connector.
