Blocking tester
Peak Test Services has introduced a tool designed to detect blocked or tight plungers in the test probes used in automatic test equipment (ATE).
With the Peak blocking tester, the correct functioning of the contact probes built into ATE test modules or fixtures can be tested quickly and simply using minimal spring force, according to the company.
The tester incorporates a Peak P201/G switch probe integrated with an LED display, which illuminates if the plunger is stuck.
The test height is adjustable by a threaded sleeve and the spring force can be adjusted by changing the integrated probe.
The maximum spring force is restricted to 6.0N — a value that is said to eliminate any potential damage to the connector elements.
