CONNECTOR MATING ASSURANCE SYSTEM AND METHOD

A connector mating assurance system (100) includes a microphone (110) configured to be located in a vicinity of a mating zone (112) for electrical connectors (102, 104). The microphone is configured to detect an audible sound when the electrical connectors are mated. An output unit (114) is connecte...

Zusammenfassung:	A connector mating assurance system (100) includes a microphone (110) configured to be located in a vicinity of a mating zone (112) for electrical connectors (102, 104). The microphone is configured to detect an audible sound when the electrical connectors are mated. An output unit (114) is connected to the microphone and receives audio signals from the microphone. The output unit processes the audio signals for mating assurance. The output unit may provide feedback to an assembler based on the audio signals. The output unit may determine if the electrical connectors are properly mated based on the audio signals. The microphone may be held by the assembler proximate to the assembler's hand when assembling the electrical connectors.
