ABSTRACT:
An inspection apparatus is designed for screening electric connectors, each having a housing, terminal chambers arranged in the connector housing for containing and holding respective metal terminals and accessories including a clip and a terminal holder. The apparatus comprises a connector support and an inspection apparatus main body releasably connectable to the connector support. The inspection apparatus main body is provided with a plurality of test pins urged forward by respective springs for electric connection with an electric test circuit. The connector support is provided with an accessory detection mechanism designed to allow the connector support to approach the inspection apparatus main body in the presence of an accessory to be detected and prevent the connector support from approaching the inspection apparatus main body in the absence of the accessory. Thus, the inspection apparatus for screening connectors can effectively and reliably detect the presence or absence of an accessory in question on each connector and carry out an electric conductivity test at the same time to reject any defective connectors.
