SOLARLOK Connectivity Systems for PV Manufacturers
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.
