II. Main features of 2-Wire cable harness tester MICROTEST 8740K series
Automobile harness:
- Most of harnesses are made of copper. Several to dozen thin harness were covered by plastic insulating tube. They are soft and not easy to break. The normal cross-sectional area are 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 4.0, 6.0. There are all with different load current values for different power devices.

Common production defect:
- Insulation layer or dislocation might happen during manufacturing process. That may cause poor connection or insulation.
Electrical inspection:
- Conductivity test : Detect the contact resistance problem on the terminal
- Hipot test : Detect the circuit contact fit the insulation value
- Resistance test : Detect the O/S problem on the contact point of the terminal.
Measurement items:
- The measurement items of 8740NAK/8740NK cable or harness tester have (1) Open/Short;(2) Conductance; (3) Components; (4) AC Hipot; (5) DC insulation/ Hipot; (6) Quick conductance (7) Intermittence O/S, and (8) Quick Intermittence open circuit. It supports RS-232, USB Host, Print, Remote interfaces.
Power application PCB/FPC multi points withstanding test:
Conductance |
Detect the contact resistance in the cable connector. The conduction resistance is over the standard. |
Hipot test |
Put a stabile high voltage on cable to make sure the quality of DUT § DC insulation The result will judge by the rate of insulation resistance. Insulation resistance defect may cause DUT be penetrated or leakage current under high voltage. § Arc Test Some high precision product for automobile and military can’t accept any arc under high voltage. Inspect the loop contact in the connector fit the request of insulation and voltage. Insulation resistance between loop is lower than the standard. The voltage resistance is lower than the standard that cause leakage current.. |
Open test/ Short test:
Open/Short test |
Make sure the contact of wire work properly. Open: The wire should be contact, but it doesn’t Short: The wire shouldn’t be contacted, but it does. |
Intermittence O/S |
Make sure the cable has intermittent open/short defection There is damage on part of cable, that cause instant contact or not. |
