Flexible multi-layer conductor foil contacting method detects penetration force of contact pin for comparison with stored value for providing fault indication

摘要

The conductor foil contacting method uses a penetration connector with at least one contact pin (41,42) for contacting the conductor path (1), with detection of the penetration force of the contact pin upon insertion through the multi-layer conductor foil, for comparison with a stored value. A fault indication is provided when the difference between the actual and stored values is outside a given tolerance range.
