VDE 0620-1 Gauge 16d – Gauge for Testing Maximum Withdrawal Force of 2P AC 250 V 2.5 A Plugs

This VDE 0620-1 Gauge 16d – Gauge for Testing Maximum Withdrawal Force of 2P AC 250 V 2.5 A Plugs is engineered and manufactured in strict compliance with the technical requirements specified in the VDE 0620-1:2010 standard. This specialized testing instrument is designed to verify the maximum withdrawal force of 2P AC 250 V 2.5 A plugs, ensuring that the mechanical connection stability and structural integrity of plug and socket interfaces meet established safety and performance criteria, thereby preventing unintended disconnection during operational use.

Specifications:

• Complies with DIN VDE 0620-1 “Plugs and socket-outlets for household and similar purposes – Part 1: General requirements on fixed socket-outlets” Gauge 16d
• Adheres to the VDE 0620-1:2010 standard requirements
• Specifically designed for testing the maximum withdrawal force of 2P AC 250 V 2.5 A plugs
• Engineered to verify structural and dimensional compliance of plugs and sockets with standard specifications

Test Procedures:

• Prepare the 2P AC 250 V 2.5 A plug and corresponding socket for testing, ensuring both components are clean, undamaged, and positioned in a stable testing environment.
• Inspect the gauge to confirm structural integrity, absence of defects, and compliance with manufacturing specifications.
• Insert the plug fully into the socket according to standard operational procedures to establish a secure connection.
• Attach the gauge to the plug following established protocols for withdrawal force testing.
• Apply a controlled, gradual pulling force to the gauge until the plug disconnects from the socket, recording the maximum force measured during the procedure.
• Compare the recorded maximum withdrawal force with the requirements specified in VDE 0620-1:2010 to determine compliance status.

Applications:

• Maximum withdrawal force testing and quality inspection of 2P AC 250 V 2.5 A plugs in the electronics manufacturing industry
• Compliance verification of plug and socket connection reliability during production processes in electrical appliance manufacturing
