Electronics, Cables, & Connectors
A Trusted Cable & Connector Test Lab
DES tests electronics, cables, and connectors in our Easton, PA lab. We’re an ITAR-registered, A2LA-accredited laboratory operating to ISO/IEC 17025, and our engineers have tested hardware for Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Medtronic, Rolls Royce, and the U.S. Army. If you need a cable test lab who can catch an intermittent discontinuity before your customer does, or proof that a new connector design holds up, we test too many specifications Click below to speak to a dedicated member of our team.

Testing Connectors, Cables, & Electronics
Connectors and cables rarely fail on the bench. They fail in service, when vibration cracks a crimp, humidity drags down insulation resistance, or a fretting causes an intermittent opening. Our electrical connector and cable testing puts those stresses on your parts in a controlled lab environment while monitoring for any changes.
Testing connectors, cables, & electronics include:
- Electrical testing: dielectric withstand, insulation resistance, continuity, low level contact resistance (LLCR), and discontinuity event detection
- Mechanical testing: mating and un-mating force, contact retention, insertion and removal force, crimp tensile strength, terminal pull, and cable flexing
- Sine and random vibration plus mechanical shock
- Temperature and humidity, thermal shock, salt fog, and altitude
- Thermal aging, temperature life, and life cycle testing
We run to the connector and component standards including EIA-364, MIL-STD-202, MIL-STD-1344A, IEC 60512, SAE USCAR2, SAE USCAR21, and GMW 3191. When a part calls for a tailored profile instead of a specification, our engineers write the test plan and design and build the custom fixtures to run it.
Electronic Product Testing Near You
At DES, we understand the importance of your electronic product testing results and schedule. You work directly with the engineer running your test.
Our lab sits at 3900 Broadway Road in Easton, PA, an easy drive from New York, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. We also receive shipped hardware from manufacturers nationwide, with a documented chain of custody for ITAR-controlled programs.
More than 70 percent of our business comes from repeat clients. They come back because we show them exactly where a connector’s margin ends, along with the pass or fail result. Contact us today!
Contact us for all your testing needs!
Send us your specification and we’ll communicate how the test will run, which methods apply, what fixturing your cables or connectors need, how long the profile takes, and what results you’ll get back. Our engineers can write the reliability test plan, build the test fixtures, execute the program, and walk you through the results. Contact DES today for a free testing estimate!
