Abstract
A fixture for testing the withdrawal force of a male projection from a receptacle terminal of an electrical connector. The fixture includes a frame, with a weight supported on the frame. The weight has a male projection protruding upwardly therefrom. The weight has a value corresponding to a desired withdrawal force. The projection has a shape corresponding to that of the terminal. A positioning member is supported above the male projection for positioning the electrical connector with the receptacle terminal thereof in alignment with the male projection. The positioning member is movably mounted relative to the frame for moving the electrical connector and receptacle terminal toward the male projection to interconnect the projection in the receptacle terminal and for moving the connector in an opposite direction to test if the interconnection between the male projection and the receptacle terminal is sufficient to lift the weight.
