Reliability Testing - Connectors

Oct 28, 2004 2 Replies

Hi, Can anyone recommend a piece of equipment to continuously monitor 10-20 connector pin pairs for loss of continuity? A dropout as short as 1us has to be detected. This will be a long term test through hot, cold and vibration conditions. Will some type of data acquisition equipment work? Thanks in advance, Mike


can the pins be all wired in series for the test?

The 10-20 pairs already takes into account 5 or 6 in series. It's an 80 pin connector and we would like to know the general area of failure if any. That's why I was looking for 10-20 channels.
