Explanation:
I have a dim recollection of a previous KudoZ where 'avaloir' was related to an electrical connector, and in the end, we discovered it meant something to do with the fact that the mechnical design of the connector means that once you have started mating it, it is 'drawn in' to complete a good, secure connection.

Since I assume you are still talking about electronic connectors here, and it is certainly talking about 'accouplement/désaccouplement', I think this is a fair bet! I'm not that sure of the exact technical term, but I'm pretty sure they are talking about the graphs showing the strength of the 'draw-in force' at various insertion distances.

In other (but related contexts), we certainly Do talk about 'insertion force', though I don't think that's specifically what is being talked about here (it's more to do with how hard you need to push, whereas this is to do with the extent to which the conductor 'pulls'!)

Alex, I think this was the original question, but for some reasons it seems incomplete; perhaps BAmary could help locate the definitive one...?

Explanation:

agree  Bourth (X): Yes, I researched "effet d'avaloir" a while back and rang a manufacturer who gave me their English term for it. I must have relied on KudoZ to keep track of it, for it is not in my own glossaries - but a KSearch finds nothing. Bugger!
