Section 6: Electrical Continuity Checking
Fixtures used for continuity testing must meet the row and pitch
dimensions as identified in Section 6.
Fixtures outside these requirements could result in damage to the
connector and/or terminal.
Probe pin recommendations
1. When testing the connector for continuity it is imperative that you do not damage
the terminals!
2. Pogo pins should be checked for damage or sticking several times a shift. This
should assure containment if an issue is found.
3. First a visual inspection of all the pins for damage should be performed.
4. 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.
Probing damage can occur:
1. If a sharp ended probe is inserted into the contact of the terminal it may damage
the plating and increase contact resistance
2. If an oversized diameter probe is inserted into the terminal, this will overstress
the beam in the terminal. This will create an environment for intermittent
connections, and increased contact resistance.
3. If a probe is inserted into the connector on an angle or off center it may damage
the terminal, and or the connector.
