IEC 60906-1 Figure 2 Compliance Gauge for 16A 250V AC Socket-Outlets

This IEC 60906-1 Figure 2 Compliance Gauge for 16A 250V AC Socket-Outlets is a precision-engineered measurement instrument designed for rigorous verification of critical dimensional requirements specified in IEC 60906-1 Figure 2. The gauge set facilitates accurate assessment of 16A 250V AC household and similar-purpose socket-outlet compliance with standard requirements for electrical safety and mechanical compatibility.

The complete kit comprises three specialized gauges (Gauge A, Gauge B, Gauge C) constructed with metallic components fabricated from hard, corrosion-resistant materials (typically stainless steel) and incorporating insulating material elements as mandated by the standard. Each gauge features precisely machined dimensions including ϕ10 ± 0.5 mm metallic components with maximum R0.2 mm rounded edges and sharp edge configurations as specified.

Key dimensional parameters include D = 4.50 mm, D1 = 4.50 – 0.1 mm, R = D1/2, and 4.44 +0.05 mm critical dimensions per IEC 60906-1 specifications. The gauges operate in conjunction with electrical indicators rated 40V to 50V (inclusive) for reliable contact detection during testing procedures.

Primary function involves verification of compliance with distance requirements specified in IEC 60906-1 standard sheets 1-1, 3-1, and 3-2 (items 2 and 5). This instrument serves as an essential quality assurance tool for certification laboratories, manufacturing quality control departments, and research & development facilities within the electrical accessory industry.
