BS 1363-2 Figure 19A&B Solid Link for Fuse Clip Testing

This BS 1363-2 Figure 19A&B Solid Link for Fuse Clip Testing is a precision-engineered test component designed for compliance with BS 1363-2 Figure 19A&B standards, specifically for evaluating the mechanical and electrical performance of fuse clips in 13 A electrical accessories. The component is manufactured in two distinct configurations corresponding to BS 1362 Type and BS EN 60127-2 Type fuse specifications, with exact dimensional tolerances and a polished surface finish where all sharp corners are removed to ensure safe test execution and accurate measurement results.

The solid link provides standardized, repeatable test conditions essential for verifying fuse clip compatibility, contact stability, and mechanical integrity in accordance with international electrical safety requirements. Its construction facilitates reliable performance validation during quality control procedures in testing laboratories and manufacturing facilities.

Test Procedure Guidelines

1. Identify the fuse clip type to be tested (BS 1362 Type or BS EN 60127-2 Type) and select the corresponding solid link configuration.
2. Visually inspect the solid link to verify surface polish, absence of burrs, proper removal of sharp corners, and no dimensional defects.
3. Secure the 13 A electrical accessory containing the target fuse clip in a stable test fixture.
4. Insert the selected solid link into the fuse clip of the test sample, ensuring proper alignment and full contact engagement.
5. Apply the specified test forces and measurements as defined in BS 1363-2 to evaluate clip retention, contact pressure, and mechanical stability.
6. Document all test results and compare against standard requirements for compliance verification.
