C26 Withdrawal Force Test Gauge per CEE 7 Figure 26

The C26 Withdrawal Force Test Gauge per CEE 7 Figure 26 is manufactured to exact specifications defined in IECEE CEE-7 Figure 26, the authoritative standard for domestic and similar-purpose plugs and socket-outlets. This apparatus is specifically engineered to measure the withdrawal force (separation force) between plugs and socket-outlets, verifying that electrical connections maintain appropriate retention while allowing safe disconnection. Through standardized force measurement, it validates that electrical products satisfy CEE 7’s stringent safety and usability criteria—mitigating risks associated with unintended disconnection or excessive force during plug removal.

Specifications:
• Fully compliant with IECEE CEE-7 standard requirements, specifically aligned with Figure 26 for withdrawal force testing
• Critical dimensional parameters (in millimeters): 50mm and 150mm (as specified in standard diagrams)
• Integrated with dedicated test plug (Fiche d’essai) and sample fixture (Echantillon) for consistent test configuration
• Engineered for precise axial withdrawal force application and measurement
• Constructed from high-strength, durable materials to withstand repeated testing cycles while maintaining structural integrity
• Calibrated for reliable, repeatable force measurements to ensure testing accuracy
• Compatible with CEE 7-compliant domestic and similar-purpose plugs and socket-outlets
• Designed to simulate actual unplugging scenarios for authentic performance assessment

Test Procedures:
• Inspect the apparatus for damage, wear, or calibration issues, confirming compliance with CEE 7 Figure 26 specifications.
• Prepare the CEE 7-compliant socket-outlet sample and matching test plug, ensuring both are clean, undamaged, and free from deformation.
• Secure the socket-outlet firmly in the apparatus’s fixture (Echantillon) to prevent movement during testing.
