Test probes for the position test check the correct position of contacting elements in connectors (passive push-back test). In contrast to this, during the active push-back test a high defined force is applied to the contacting elements by means of a push-back test probe. This provides a mechanical check on the locking of the contacting elements in the connector and, in the case of an error, evaluates an electrical interruption.
