METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TESTING AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTION DEVICE WITH REGARD TO LEAKPROOFNESS

摘要

In a method for testing an.electrical connection device (2) with regard to the leakproofness of at least one component (seal) (4) of the connection device, the following steps are carried out: fitting the connection device (2) to a testing device (5) in such a manner that at least one part (21) of the connection device with the component (4) to be tested is arranged in a. chamber (51) of the testing device, introducing a fluid (3) into the chamber (51) of the testing device, such that the component (4) of the connection device to be tested comes into contact with the fluid, exposing at least one part of the testing device (5) to vibration (V) and exposing the fluid (3) to a specific pressure (P), the exposure to vibration and the exposure to pressure being carried out simultaneously, at least for a period of time, and checking the- leakproof function of the component to be tested (4) by detecting penetration of the fluid (3) at the component (4) to be tested. Similar testing may also be performed with regard to the parameters vibration/temperature and pressure /temperature.
