Abstract
An electrical connector verification system including a microphone for detecting a first sound generated by an engagement of a locking mechanism of an electrical connector and for generating a first signal representative of the first sound, a processor for generating a control signal in response to the first signal matching a second signal representative of a second sound generated in response to a correct engagement of the locking mechanism of the electrical connector above a certainty threshold, and a user interface for displaying an indication of a correctly seated electrical connector in response to the control signal.
