MX123 Connection System User Manual - AS-34566-001 63
When testing the connector for continuity, it is imperative that you do
not damage the terminals!
Pogo pins should be checked for damage or sticking several times a shift:
First, a visual inspection of all the pins for damage should be performed.
Next, a testing block should be used to depress all the pogo pins up into
the barrel. If there is a bent or sticking pin, it should remain stuck in the
barrel of the pogo pin. A damaged or stuck pin should be replaced
before any additional testing is performed.
Section 6: Electrical Continuity Checking
E. Recommendations
Probing damage can occur…
If a sharp-ended probe is inserted into the terminal. This may damage
the plating and increase contact resistance.
If an oversized diameter probe is inserted into the terminal. This will
overstress the beam in the terminal, creating an environment for
intermittent contact and/or increased electrical resistance.
If a probe is inserted into the terminal at an angle or off center. This
may damage the terminal and/or the connector.
