DIN VDE 0620-1 Gauge 11 Non-Insertability Test Gauge for Two-Pole Plugs Without Protective Contact

This DIN VDE 0620-1 Gauge 11 Non-Insertability Test Gauge for Two-Pole Plugs Without Protective Contact is engineered to verify the non-insertability of two-pole plugs lacking a protective contact, in strict compliance with the DIN VDE 0620 series standards. It functions as an essential verification instrument to ensure the safety and regulatory conformity of fixed sockets for household and analogous applications, thereby preventing the improper insertion of non-compliant plugs that could precipitate electrical hazards.

Specifications:

• Conforms to DIN VDE 0620-1 and DIN VDE 0620-2-1:2021-02 standards
• Angle specification: 90°±2’30”
• Dimension: ø2.5 (tolerance: 0.1)
• Dimension: R1 + 8⋅1, ø4.8 (tolerance: 0.02)
• Length specification: 19±0.05

Test Procedures:

1. Prepare the socket under test to ensure it is in a standard, unused condition.
2. Align the gauge with the socket’s insertion aperture according to the orientation specified in the standard.
3. Apply a consistent and moderate force to attempt insertion of the gauge into the socket.
4. Observe whether the gauge can be inserted into the socket.
5. Document the test result; the socket meets compliance if the gauge cannot be inserted.

Applications:

• Safety verification of fixed sockets for residential applications.
• Compliance assessment of sockets for similar non-residential applications.
• Quality assurance and inspection protocols in socket manufacturing operations.
• Conformity evaluation by accredited certification bodies and testing laboratories.
• Research and development testing for socket design optimization and enhancement initiatives.
