How Do I Test a Connector After Installation?

Quick Answer

After installation: 1) Visual inspection, 2) Continuity test, 3) Insulation resistance (>100 MΩ), 4) Hi-pot test, 5) Water test (optional). Document results. Never deploy untested.

### Step-by-Step

**Step 1: Visual Inspection**
– Connector fully mated
– Coupling tightened
– No visible damage
– O-rings seated
– Cable strain relief secure

**Step 2: Continuity Test**
– Pin-to-pin: <1 Ω - Pin-to-housing: Open circuit - Cable continuity: <1 Ω per conductor**Step 3: Insulation Resistance** - Pin-to-pin: >100 MΩ at 500V DC
– Pin-to-housing: >100 MΩ
– Pin-to-shield: >100 MΩ
