Tensile Testing for Wiring Harness Connections
The only way of really knowing the strength of a crimped terminal is to pull it. This can reveal production problems, where strand nicks, incorrect crimp height, or effects from changes in terminal supply, may not be clearly apparent.

Why is texture testing important?
Texture testing ensures consistent product performance, supports process control, and validates compliance with industry standards. Even small changes in raw materials, processing conditions, or environmental factors can alter texture.
