Connectors, which have 4 to 9 contacts, are engaged through a hole with a minimum diameter of 0.030 inch. They are constructed of concentric brass and nylon components assembled with a light, firm press-fit. They withstand several thousand mating cycles and each outer contact has a one ampere capacity.

Air-bearing-pad principle, combined with monitoring system of the air-bearing force, prevents damage between electrical and mechanical connectors joining a large engine system to the test stand during remote mating. Pad provides a cushion between engine and test stand.
Testing device monitors continuity and resistance of each circuit, it includes springloaded stationary fixture which holds plug, and moving fixture which is driven by small electric motor and is geared to mate and unmate connector 10 times per minute.
