Cable Testing with Box Adapters - Photo Gallery

This application vividly shows the flexability of the box adapter approach. The connector that the customer needed to test with was odd shaped and very difficult to hold onto. Cirris fabricated the vertical assembly to hold the connector in position for ease of testing. The connector is hardwired down to the adapter board (at the bottom of the box) with the wires hidden and protected by the box. A circular Military connector is mounted to the top of the box adapter with all wires hidden and protected by the box. This connector type was one of the first applications used for this type of special box adapter. Two PCB transition connectors (51 and 100 pos.) can be tested with one test block. Two screws hold the 51 pos. locating plate securely. This plate helps locate the connector being tested in proper position for good smooth contact with the test pogo pins. Mount 100 pos. plate to test that size connector. Click on photo for close up of hole pattern and plate details.

This special adapter approach is a merging of the "framestand" idea and "box adapter" concept. The two connectors are mounted on a mini framestand board which is made more ridgid by the coupling effects of two units blended into one as well as the addition of another strengthening board between the standoffs.

The top box structure attaches with screws both to the framestand and the tester (not shown) this assembly is mounted to. This blending of approaches has created a very ridgid and tough stucture to be used when large connectors and cables are going to be attached to the tester.
