Electric Terminal Tension Tester (5–1000N)

● Automotive wire harness Tier 1 quality inspection
The built-in IEC60352/UL 486A library reduces setup time on multi-standard production environments where different customer quality plans reference different minimum force thresholds for the same wire gauge.
● Electronic connector and PCB assembly
The 12-fixture system covers JST, Molex, TE, and Hirose terminal families used in consumer electronics and industrial equipment — first-article, periodic, and incoming inspection without application-specific fixtures.
● Waterproof connector seal pull-out verification
The special collet set accommodates waterproof seal and plug pull-out testing on IP67/IP69K assemblies, providing a single instrument for both conductor retention and seal retention verification on the same connector.
● Quality laboratory and supplier audit
PC software generates force curve reports with batch statistics — satisfying the objective evidence requirements of IATF 16949 supplier qualification audits and ISO 13485 medical device quality records.

Q: What connection types does the EW-2545 terminal tension tester support?

A: The EW-2545 tests crimped terminal pull-out force, soldered wire joint retention, and waterproof seal/plug pull-out force. The 12 interchangeable fixtures and special collets cover open-barrel and insulated crimped terminals, IDC contacts, soldered pigtails, and automotive IP67/IP69K waterproof seals — without custom fixture orders for most standard connector types.

Q: How does the built-in IEC60352 and UL 486A standard library work?

A: IEC60352 and UL 486A specify minimum pull-out force values for solderless wire connections by wire gauge. The EW-2545 stores these values internally. The operator selects the wire gauge on the touchscreen and the machine displays the applicable minimum force threshold, flagging any test result below the standard — replacing external document lookup and reducing operator error in pass/fail determination.

Q: How does the EW-2545 differ from the EW-25A?

A: The EW-25A is the standard bench-top pull tester — 500N or 1000N, 0.01N resolution, RS232 output, suited for production line quality stations. The EW-2545 adds the 7-inch touchscreen, built-in IEC60352/UL 486A library, real-time force curve display, 12-fixture system, and PC software for documented test reports — the higher-specification choice for quality engineering labs requiring standard-referenced testing and audit-ready documentation.

Q: What is the maximum test speed and stroke?

A: Maximum test speed is 500mm/min with a 60mm stroke. Selectable speeds below 500mm/min match IEC60352 and UL 486A specified test conditions for consistent, standard-compliant measurement results.
