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.

What is tension testing?
Tension testing, also called tensile testing, is a core mechanical test used to determine how a material behaves when subjected to a uniaxial tensile force. It measures properties such as strength, ductility and elasticity under controlled conditions.
