Mechanical, Environmental and Electrical Testing Capabilities
Force-deflection curves are generated to verify that
spring contact properties meet design criteria.
Contact resistance and temperature rise are measured
and recorded automatically. These parameters help to
establish/verify current carrying capacity, and de-rating
curves. Test samples are isolated to minimize the
influence of external variables such as air movement.
Components/assemblies are exposed to cold, heat,
moisture, and temperature change. Thermal shock
is accomplished with the 2-chamber method.
Environmental chambers operate from -70°C to +180°C
enabling simulation of real-world conditions.
Slow-motion bending and vibration testing simulates
line movements in the wire, stressing the crimped
termination. Industrial atmospheres are generated
with a gas mixture of SO2, H2S, NO2 and Cl2.
3D X-ray computer tomography provides high
resolution three-dimensional non-destructive
analysis capability.

Manufacturing Capabilities
TE manufactures the
SOLARLOK product
line on state of the
art manufacturing
equipment.
The Trutnov, Czech Republic facility offers a repeatable manufacturing process which
produces a 100% automatically inspected and electrically tested junction box. For quality
control purposes, each junction jox is “laser etched” with a unique serial number.
Our electrical test equipment has four independent heads to automatically test each
connection rail and diode in the popular four rail junction box. Assembly equipment
automatically verifies the production of the cable assemblies and attachment to the junction
box. The true position of the contact in the mating coupler housing and proper torque of
the screw nut are some of the critical process checks made to each unit. A vision system
is incorporated into the junction box assembly equipment. Polarization and molded
features are inspected by the same vision system to contribute to the production of
a quality product and a repeatable manufacturing process.
The SOLARLOK product is currently manufactured in Europe, Asia and the USA.
