Abstract
A connector is mounted in a connector holder. A test section is moved toward the connector holder by turning a driving mechanism. When probes of the test section come into contact with terminals secured in a housing of the connector mounted in the connector holder, the connector is tested for continuity. If an overload force is applied to the probes during a continuity test, predetermined load breakaway members supporting rear ends of the probes are broken and the probes are moved backward away from the terminals, thereby preventing damage to the terminals or the probes. It is possible to carry out the continuity test again by exchanging the broken breakaway members with new ones.
