Introduction to tensile strength
Tensile strength is a fundamental mechanical property that defines a material’s ability to resist forces that attempt to pull it apart. It represents the maximum tensile stress a material can withstand before failure.

Significance of connector extraction resistance
Extraction resistance is the connector’s ability to maintain a secure fit during use while still allowing disconnection when necessary. This is especially important where connectors are repeatedly mated and unmated, such as:

What is torque testing?
Torque testing measures the rotational force required to turn or twist an object. In packaging, it is most often applied to closures such as caps, lids and twist-top mechanisms to ensure they open and close within defined performance limits.
