Cable/Harness Testing Made Easy.

Where do your specifications for resistance thresholds come from? Do you believe a specification is unreasonable? Have you gotten pressure to ease up on a specification? Our newsletter this month is for you.

If you have any questions or comments, call us at 1-800-441-9910.

In January 2004 we published our newsletter "Guidelines for Setting Resistance Test Thresholds." While it provided good information on how to determine continuity test thresholds, we've had many calls from those who struggle with "overly stringent" test specs from their customers that are difficult to meet and can actually result in good cables failing. This month's newsletter delves deeper into the specifics of determining practical resistance settings for continuity tests. We also provide an updated Continuity Test Resistance Calculator to help you determine a practical continuity test spec.

Red flag warning: if you ever see a continuity test spec less than 2 ohms, consider doing this analysis.
