Simple To Use

This cable harness tester is designed to be simple to you. You can train the tester with your working set of cable harness. The tester will base on this master cable harness to test if the subsequent cables.

Features of Cable Harness Tester

To make your testing production process easier, you can connect the mating connector for your cable harness to the tester first. This allows you to connect your cable harness faster to the tester. You can connect the wire to any terminal. There is no specific port to connect because this tester can self-learn your cable connection. Simply ensure that all your wires are connected to one of the screw terminals. The tester can learn and memories the connection of your good working master cable harness connection.

Once the tester has learned the wiring connection from your cable harness, you can start to test your production cables using the same connection. A green light flash indicating “Passed” means that the cable matches the master cable connectivity. A red light flashing indicates a “Failed” test. There will also be a beep sound option to allow the operator to know the test status without them having to pay attention to the light indicator.

Basic Features

This cable harness tester provides the basic testing of your harness wiring connection to your connectors. Ensure your production quality by checking all the connection on your cable harness.

Small Mini Relay Operation Details

Most of the electronic interfacing to another system makes use of switch contact as a form of communication control. This form of connection interface is commonly known as Dry Contact.

small mini relay (dry contact switch)

Dry contact is simple a switch contact that is activated through a relay. The use of such relay is typically only for signalling purpose. The signalling is very low in the current. A very small mini relay is often good enough for the job.

The switching contact of this relay can drive up to 500mA. LED indicator typically requires a maximum of 20mA. So this small relay is more than enough to switch on an indicator.

Most logic signalling between circuit boards uses very low current. Typically around 1mA or below. A small mini relay is more than good enough.

The simple dry contact of a small relay makes it easy to interface with other circuit systems which uses different voltage as their power source.

Advantages of using a Small Mini Relay

Features of a Small Mini Relay

  • Smaller in Size, smaller footprint, lower weight. (size only about 20 x 5 x 8mm)
  • Cheaper in cost compare to a bigger relay
  • Easier to interface (dry contact)
  • Easier to design
  • Suitable

Switching Speed of a Mini Relay

The following measure was done to test the switching speed for the small relay.

Switching operation of a small relay

Compare to an active switch like a transistor or solid state relay, the switching speed of a mechanical switch relay is still far from fast. Although it is not as fast as a semiconductor switch, the switching speed is considered fast enough for a very wide range of application.

Mini relay only took about 180usec to switch ON.

Delay of 180usec switching ON a mini relay


Took a shorter time of 120usec to switch itself OFF

Delay of 120usec switching off mini relay

From the switching speed measurement taken, the delay switching of a mini relay is in the range of about 0.1 to 0.2 msec. For an application that requires switching speed in the range of 1msec and more, using a mini relay is very much acceptable.

If you need an even smaller and faster switching device, you should consider a transistor or a solid state relay. Semiconductor is smaller in size, switch faster, and can cost lower than a mechanical switch. The lifespan is also longer. The disadvantage compares to a simple dry contact mechanical relay is that you will need to take more care in choosing and designing for a transistor switch. There is more specification that is under consideration.

How to crimp 1mm pitch connector (JST connector)

The principle of crimping a 2.54mm pitch female socket header and a 1mm pitch connector is fairly similar.

The difference is that a 1 mm pitch connector pin is much tedious to crimp because it is too small. For most people, a magnifying glass is required while doing the crimping.

crimping tool for JST 1mm pitch connectorNot only it is small in size, the tool for crimping this 1mm pin is also difficult to find. This tool is rare, hence it is also very expensive. The crimping tool for a 1mm pitch pin (0.039″) can cost a couple of hundreds to a thousand of dollars. The tool name from JST (JAPAN SOLDERLESS TERMINALS) is called WC-SH2832 (Crimp Tool, Ratchet).

 

JST Connector pitch: 1mm

Connector pin width is less than 1mm

Wire Gauge Size is 32 to 28 AWG

 

Crimping 1mm pitch pin Step by Step

JST 1mm pitch connector pin
1- sleeve gripper for gripping the wire sleeve as a strain relieve,
2- wire strand gripper for the contact to the wire strand.

  1. Close up the sleeve gripper for the wire’s sleeve. This allows the pin to easily grip the wire when you position the wire for crimping.

    close up the wire sleeve gripper before inserting the wire

  2. Insert the wire into the pin. Position it nicely with the pin’s sleeve gripper end holding the wire sleeve. Ensure that the wire sleeve is over the sleeve gripper but before the wire strand gripper.

  3. Crimp the sleeve gripper first. Then proceed to crimp the exposed wire with the wire strand gripper.
  4. After crimping, ensure that the width of the pin is less than 0.88mm. If the width is too big, it will not be able to fit into the connector housing. Use your crimper to lightly squeeze it narrower.
    ensure that the width of the 1mm pitch pin is less than 0.88mm
  5. After the wire is crimped to the pin, pull the wire to ensure that the crimp is tight. The crimp pin should not give way.
    Properly crimped 1mm pitch JST connector pin
  6. You should be able to easily slide the crimped wire into the connector housing without much force. If it is difficult to insert in, it is probably not done correctly. Redo again and do not force the pin into the receptacle housing.
