'easy-wire' Adapter Options
USB Connections
Easy-wire adapters provide the same flexibility and ease of setup for harness boards as our standard 'Signature' adapters have provided for years in Cirris cable testers.

An easy-wire adapter consists of:
  • Vice Test Block, used to clamp and hold a customer supplied mating connector.
  • USB Style Cable (EC30-10) 4 conductor cable 1 meter / 40" long.
  • USB Style Cable (EC60-10) 4 Conductor cable 2 meters / 80" long.

  • Other pieces of a 'easy-wire' adapter are listed below.

  • USB End Caps and Spacers which allow multiple USB connectors to be grouped into a single plug.
  • Red/Green LED for guided assembly and error notification.


  • Easy-Wire Adapters can be configured to work with a wide variety of connector types, shapes and pin quantities.

ECC Test-Blocks

ECC TEST Block ecc-block-350 (17K)
ECC Test-Blocks
Custom,(Spring-Probe Test Blocks)
Sold as single test blocks


  • Recommended for high cycle production testing. Standard mating connectors often are not robust enough for high cycle rates found in automated testing situations. This Test-block approach can also be used when standard mating connectors are not available or are not allowed to be used by your customer. Depending on the size of the connectors involved these test blocks can also be mounted on to easy-wire grid tiles using easy-wire bracket bases etc. Because the custom test blocks are custom made to match your specific connector, ECC usually request that you send a sample of the connector/s you need to mate to. This will give them enough information to evaluate the requirements of the connector, develop a fixed price quote and establish a delivery schedule.
