[Industry 7] Testing cables & wire harnesses for the computer and consumer electronics industry

Concept of Testing & Inspection

Cable & harness testing requirements and features for the computer and consumer electronics industry

1. Overview

Computers and consumer electronics are familiar to us in our daily lives. The ingenuity of manufacturers ensures high quality at an affordable price. Strict tests are applied at key points while necessary minimum tests are performed. The best harness testers are essential for the production of high quality, cost-effective electrical appliances.

2.Cable & Wiring harnesses for consumer electronics

・Relatively small number of points, often with connectors at both ends
・Wiring for gas stoves, refrigerators, etc. is complex.
・Tests need to be completed in a short time because mass production is expected.
・Management of a large amount of testing data because of the need to handle a wide variety of products.
・Normally, only wiring testing is performed for cables used in consumer equipment.
・Sequential testing with auto-start function that starts and judges only by insertion/removal.
・High-voltage testing and momentary disconnection testing are performed depending on the product.
・When LEDs are mounted, it is necessary to electrically detect whether they are mounted correctly.

3. Cables & Wire Harnesses for Computers

・For computer cables, conduct wiring, resistance, withstand voltage, insulation, and momentary disconnection testing
・For long cables such as LAN cables, DC withstand voltage test is required to ignore the influence of capacitive reactance./li>
・USB Type-C cables contain semiconductors inside. Therefore, wiring tests are conducted with low voltages.

NAC CORPORATION's harness testers are in operation according to the testing points and specifications.
