    Patent number: 6101881
    Abstract: A method of determining the quality of insertion of an electrical terminal includes the steps of capturing the sound associated with insertion of the terminal. The terminal is typically inserted into a connector associated with a wire harness. By capturing the sound, the system is able to compare the captured sound to an expected sound. If the captured sound differs from the expected sound then a determination is made that the terminal is not properly inserted.
