Connector terminal checking tool

Abstract

A connector terminal checking tool including a base, a connector receiving member fixedly provided on one end portion of the base for receiving a connector to be checked, and a connector checking member movably provided on the other end portion of the base in opposed relationship to the connector receiving member. The connector checking member includes a plurality of check terminals adapted to be electrically connected to a plurality of terminals disposed in a connector housing of the connector to form a closed circuit when the connector is received into the connector receiving member, whereby breaking of the terminals of the connector is checked. The connector receiving member is cooperatively provided with means for detecting projection of a terminal locking spacer mounted in the connector housing of the connector projecting from a side surface or a back surface of the connector housing, wherein when the connector is received into the connector receiving member, incomplete mounting of the spacer in the connector is detected by the detector.
