Standard: IEC 60884-1 2013 clause 13.14 figure 13

Application: This device is use to check whether any damage to the socket-outlets ratings up to 16A and 250V when a inserted appliance applying a lateral strain to it.

Test sample: Socket-outlets

Feature: Made according to standard dimension requirements, use to check the mechanical strength of socket hole

Parameters:

sets of test plug, according to clients requirements,

Standard:

Socket-outlets shall withstand the laterin imposed by equipment likely to be introduced into them .

For socket-outlets having ratings up to and including 16A and 250V,compliance is checked by means of device shown in figure 13.

Each specimen is mounted on a vertical surface with the plane through the socket-contacts horizontal .The device is then fully engaged and a weight hung on it such that the force exerted is 5N.

The device is removed after I min and the socket-outlet is turned through 90,on the mounting surface ,The test is made four times ,the socket-outlet being turned through 90 after each engagement .

During the test the device shall bnot become disengaged from the socket-outlet.

After the test , the socket-outlet shall show no damage within the meaning of this standard ,in particular ,they shall comply with the requirements of clause 22.

It is equipped with test plug of GB6A two-plug plug, GB10A three-plug, GB16A three-plug plug.
