Connector Testing at Envitest: Ensuring Reliability, Performance, and Compliance

In today’s highly interconnected world, electrical connectors serve as critical components in almost every electronic, automotive, industrial, and aerospace application. Their reliability is vital to ensure signal integrity, power continuity, and long-term durability in real-world conditions.

At Envitest Laboratories, we specialize in comprehensive connector testing, combining environmental, mechanical, and electrical evaluations that reflect the actual operating environments connectors are exposed to in the field.

Simulating Real-World Conditions Through Rigorous Testing

Connector testing is not limited to basic performance checks. It requires multifaceted evaluations to assess how connectors perform under various types of stress, including:

  • Vibration & Mechanical Shock – to simulate conditions found in automotive, aerospace, and industrial environments
  • Thermal Cycling – to assess performance during fluctuating temperature extremes
  • Salt Spray (Corrosion Testing) – to check resistance to harsh environmental conditions
  • Insulation Resistance & Contact Resistance – to ensure electrical stability and minimal signal loss
  • Dielectric Withstand (High Voltage Testing) – to verify safety under high-voltage exposure
  • Ingress Protection (IP Testing) – to determine sealing effectiveness against dust and water

Each of these tests plays a critical role in understanding failure points, design weaknesses, and long-term reliability.

Compliance with Global Standards

At Envitest, all connector testing is conducted in accordance with internationally recognized standards, ensuring that test results are valid and acceptable globally. Some of the key standards we adhere to include:

  • USCAR-2 Rev 7 / USCAR-37 – for automotive electrical connector systems
  • JSS 50815 Rev 1.0 / JSS 50800 Rev 1.0 – for Indian defence and aerospace connector testing
  • VW 752174 P10.2 – for Volkswagen-specific automotive validation
  • EIA-364 – Electronic Industries Alliance standard for connector testing
  • ISO 16750 – for environmental conditions and testing for electrical/electronic equipment in road vehicles
  • IEC 60512 / IEC 61984 – for mechanical, electrical and environmental testing of connectors

Additionally, we support OEM-specific custom test plans, tailored to your product and application requirements.
