ABSTRACT:
An adapter enables an automated tester to make electrical contact with a plurality of terminal posts of a terminal strip of an aircraft's electrical power system simultaneously, and includes a housing, a plurality of spring-loaded contactors protruding through a floor of the housing, and a printed circuit board disposed within the housing. Conductive leads respectively couple inner ends of the contactors to conductive traces of the printed circuit board. A wiring harness having a connector at one end is coupled to the circuit board such that each of its wires is coupled to a respective contactor via a circuit trace. Fuses are mounted on the circuit board and electrically coupled between the contactors and the harness wires. The adapter detachably couples to the terminal strip such that an outer end of each of the contactors is held in biased contact with a corresponding one of the terminal posts.
