CONTACTING - COLD TEST

Your advantages at a glance: 

  • Best functionality
  • Robustness through surface refinement
  • Wear-reduced contacting due to spring contacts
  • Secure holding and locking of the test specimen in the match plate
  • A high number of mating cycles
  • Customer-specific design

 

The development and production of complex contacting systems for cold test benches for the automotive industry is one of our core competences. And thanks to our many years of experience and close cooperation with well-known customers, we develop the right solution for every application.

The engine plugs are set-up and locked manually in the exact position on the in-house developed match plate of the workpiece carrier. That allows us to automatically deliver the in-house developed contacting unit in the test bench, which is wired to the measuring equipment, to the match plate.

In order not to damage the engine plug contacts by direct plugging, we use contact modules in the contacting unit which align themselves exactly on the match plate, touch the contact lamella of the engine plug contact with spring contacts and thus ensure a reliable signal transmission to the measuring equipment.

The use of spring contacts, on the one hand, protects engine connectors and, on the other hand, allows high mating cycles.

We would be pleased to develop a custom-made concept for your specific application and look forward to hearing from you.

 

CONTACTING - HOT TEST

Your advantages at a glance: 

  • Best functionality
  • ECU contacting by spring-loaded contacts
  • One holder for several ECU-types
  • Secure fixation of the ECU in the holder by a locking mechanism
  • Spring-loaded single connector holders
  • Wear-reduced contacting
  • A high number of mating cycles
  • Customer-specific design

 

The development and production of complex contacting systems for hot test benches for the automotive industry is one of our core competences. And thanks to our many years of experience and close cooperation with well-known customers, we develop the right solution for every application.

These contacting systems are characterized by the fact that the connector holder is designed for several types of control units. The ECU is inserted into the connector holder, and a unique locking mechanism moves it linearly to the contact modules with spring-loaded contacts, where it is contacted and clamped.

Depending on the customer's requirements, the engine connectors are either plugged-in directly or, in turn, picked up and fixed using contour-exact individual connector holders with spring-loaded contacts and integrated locking.

The use of spring contacts, on the one hand, protects engine connectors and, on the other hand, allows high mating cycles.

We would be pleased to develop a tailor-made concept for your specific application and look forward to hearing from you.

 

 

CONTACTING: E - Mobility

Automatic Contacting Systems

Your advantages at a glance: 

  • Robustness due to surface refinement
  • Position compensation +/-1.5mm or +/-2° inclination, as well as a radial "finding mechanism".
  • Wear-reduced contacting & high number of mating cycles
  • Secure signal transmission up to 300A/1000V implemented
  • Short-circuit-proof up to 2,7kVpk
  • Quick-change system of the contacts, compact design
  • For ESD application if required
  • With Sense-contacts if required
  • Protected against splash water or dust if required (IP44)
  • Customer-specific design

 

As an environmentally conscious and progressive company, we have recognized the signs of the times, and we have invested a lot of research and development work in contacting systems for electric mobility, both for low-voltage (LV) and high-voltage (HV) applications.

In addition to flawless functionality, robustness through surface refinement, and attractive design, safety is paramount.

Due to the integrated position compensation of the contact module of up to +/-1.5mm in the plane or +/-2° inclination, as well as, if required, radial "finding mechanism" (360° rotation) for any position of the test specimen coding, the contact module can be accurately fed to the test specimen which may have tolerances in its clamping. By using spring-loaded test contacts or collets in HV applications, the contact module can be brought to the test contacts without wear. In LV applications, the spring-loaded test contacts are pressed against the test specimen contacts, and in HV applications, the collets are pushed without force over the testing contacts and are only radially tensioned in the end position.

Furthermore, the contacting units are characterized by a high number of mating cycles, process-safe use at high currents up to 300A / 1000V, and by the quick-change system of the test contacts/collets.

We would be pleased to develop a tailor-made concept for your specific application and look forward to hearing from you.

The development and production of complex adapters for cold and hot test benches for the automotive industry is one of our core competences. Thanks to our many years of experience and close cooperation with well-known customers, we develop the right solution for every application.

The main focus is on perfect functionality, robustness through surface finishing, ergonomics (lightweight construction), easy handling, and attractive design.

By means of precisely contoured individual plug holders, the test specimen is picked up without twisting and is guided accurately to the spring-loaded test contacts.

The spring-loaded test contacts are pressed against the test specimen contacts, and no pre-damage to the test specimen occurs by direct plugging.

Furthermore, the adapters are characterized by high mating cycles, process-safe use at high currents (also available as HV version), and sophisticated locking mechanisms for safe locking of the test specimen in the single connector holder.

We would be pleased to develop a tailor-made concept for your specific application and look forward to hearing from you.

TESTING AND MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY

Your advantages at a glance:

  • Best functionality
  • Fast, easy and safe adapter control
  • Simple operation
  • Testing devices can be extended as required using a separate test attachment per adapter
  • Broad coverage Adapter types due to 216-pin interface
  • Customer-specific design

 

 

For each of our adapters, we also offer a suitable adapter test device for electrical continuity and short-circuit testing, either as a practical, mobile table-top device or as a fixed test table, in order to be able to offer our demanding customers the best service in this area as well.

There is an individual slot with spring-loaded contacts for signal transmission for each adapter type.

Alternatively, we also offer test equipment with a central slot with e.g., 216 pins (large cover for adapter types) and matching individual test attachments for each adapter type. Thus, these types of test devices can be expanded as desired with minor software adjustments but without mechanical intervention.

The evaluation is done by an internal test device and the display by laptop, tablet, or similar.

Often a visual inspection of the test contacts is sufficient, which is why we have developed special "test goggles" with drilled pin layout, which are pushed onto the test object to check whether the contacts are mechanically ok, i.e., whether the contact length corresponds to the nominal length or whether contacts are bent.

Upon customer request, test equipment or control tools can also be supplied in practical hard-shell cases or hard foam ETUIs.
