Cirris, a leader in cable and harness test solutions, today announced the launch of the Cirris 8250 High Voltage Tester, the company’s most powerful and flexible test system to date. Designed for complex electrical assemblies—including harnesses, backplanes, and multi‑stage interconnect systems—the 8250 delivers unmatched scalability, advanced measurement capabilities, and intelligent automation options to streamline demanding production environments.
Engineered to support both high‑performance manufacturing and intricate engineering applications, the 8250 integrates seamlessly with modern test workflows, offering up to 100,000+ test points in highly modular configurations. Programming is accelerated through options to auto‑learn a sample, configure tests directly through the user interface, or import existing test files, and setup is further streamlined with Smart‑Lights® intelligent adapters.
Major adopters of the 8250 include manufacturers in the Aerospace, Space, and Transportation sectors, yet the system’s versatility ensures it delivers value to any organization that builds complex or safety‑critical electrical assemblies.
“The 8250 represents a leap forward in test automation flexibility,” said Darin Yeager, Head of Sales. “With intelligent modularity, powerful high‑voltage performance, and next‑generation software integration, customers can scale and reconfigure their test systems faster and with greater efficiency than ever before.”
