The methods and apparatus described herein are designed and configured to allow one user to test cable continuity using a wire-configurable directional connector. The methods and apparatus may transmit a first and second voltage pulse through a first and second wire of a cable under test, respectively, having a wire-configurable directional connector attached. Both voltage pulses travel through the wire-configurable directional connector. The first voltage pulse selectively leaves at least one of the second wire and a third wire of the cable under test and the second voltage pulse selectively leaves the third wire. The methods and apparatus may store a pre-determined pattern of a returning voltage pulse specific to the cable under test, and determine a state of the first, second, and third wires in response to receiving the first and second voltage pulses.

An embodiment includes a system comprising: a polymer substrate including a plurality of voids; and a plurality of metal pins; wherein a first pin, included within the plurality of metal pins, includes: (a)(i) first and second arms that couple to each other by way of an arcuate member, (a)(ii) a middle portion including a middle diameter, a proximal portion including a proximal diameter, and a distal portion including a distal diameter; wherein (b)(i) the middle portion is between the proximal and distal portions, (b)(ii) the middle diameter is less than the proximal and distal diameters, and (b)(iii) the proximal portion, but not the distal portion, is included within one of the plurality of voids. Other embodiments are described herein.

A voltage probe holster includes a support member disposed on a base. The support member defines a plurality of apertures sized to receive a plurality of single-ended probes having coaxial leads. Each of the apertures have a conductive periphery configured to conduct electricity from one of the coaxial leads such that a common ground loop through the support member and the base is formed and that differences in ground potential are reduced.

A test circuit, a test method, an array substrate and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The test circuit includes a plurality of to-be-tested units and plurality of test electrodes connected to the to-be-tested units. The plurality of to-be-tested units are arranged in a matrix. At least one of the test electrodes is multiplexed by the plurality of to-be-tested units in a row direction and at least one of the test electrodes is multiplexed by the plurality of to-be-tested units in a column direction.

Interconnection meter socket adapters are provided. An interconnection meter socket adapter comprises a housing enclosing a set of electrical connections. The interconnection meter socket adapter may be configured to be coupled to a standard distribution panel and a standard electric meter, thereby establishing connections between a distribution panel and a user such that electrical power may be delivered to the user while an electrical meter measures the power consumption of the user. A power regulation module is disposed between the interconnection meter socket adapter, and configured to selectively connect one or more energy sources or energy sinks.

There is described an assembly for connecting a test unit to a wiring harness or equipment to be tested, and a method for testing using the assembly. The assembly may comprise a test box unit, a generic mate-in interface, and at least one specific mate-in interface. Each one of the generic and specific mate-in interfaces has an ID comprised in an ID support on the electrical path of the generic mate-in interface and the specific mate-in interface, for example, on any one of the end connectors of the interfaces or on their wiring. Information relating to the IDs of the mate-in interfaces and the contact configuration of each mate-in interface is stored in a database of the test unit for identifying the appropriate test contacts that should be used for testing.

A device for performing electrical measurements according to the present disclosure includes a first input post that is electrically conducting, a second input post that is electrically conducting, and a sleeve that is electrically insulating and at least partially surrounds the first input post and the second input post. The sleeve includes a first rib extending in a longitudinal direction of the sleeve and a second rib extending in the longitudinal direction of the sleeve. The first rib and the second rib are constructed to separate the first input post and the second input post.

A two-terminator RF adapter for background noise measurement in a test environment comprises a system test port comprising a system test port termination and a system test port connector to connect to a system under test; and a data acquisition port, comprising a data acquisition port termination and a data acquisition port connector to connect to a data acquisition system.

A single handheld multimeter device includes two or more independent measurement channels that are completely electrically separated and independent from one another. Each measurement channel has its point of reference, typically configured to be coupled to the ground. Measurements by the two or more independent measurement channels can be conducted concurrently, and the measurement results of the two channels can be processed and displayed together.

An evaluation jig comprises a pair of female terminals connectable to a pair of male terminals of a charging connector, and an adjustment member that can adjust contact resistance of the female terminal and the male terminal. The female terminal is reducible in diameter. The adjustment member can apply an external force to the female terminal to reduce the female terminal in diameter.
