    Abstract: A test apparatus for verifying plugging force of an electrical component having sockets for receiving one or more corresponding plugs in a push fit arrangement. The test apparatus includes a load plate with a support surface orthogonal to first and a second axes. A holder retains the first electrical component on the load plate. A plurality of load cells supports the load plate at spaced locations. A plugging force applied to the first electrical component via the second electrical component is transferred to the plurality of load cells. A processor is provided for receiving load cell data corresponding to the force applied to each load cell respectively. The processor determines the magnitude of the plugging force and the location at which the plugging force is applied to the first electrical component relative to the first and second axes of the load plate.
