Abstract
An apparatus and method for testing angled strand connections in a miniature electrical device includes a test tool movable simultaneously along two mutually perpendicular axes and perpendicular to the strand direction. The tool measures breaking force along one axis only, the breaking force in the direction of tool movement being calculated by reference to the angle of tool movement. The method gives rapid testing of successive strands with good operator view.
