IEC 60906-1 Figure 5A/5B Socket-Outlet Withdrawal Force Gauge

This IEC 60906-1 Figure 5A/5B compliant gauge verifies maximum withdrawal force for 16A 250V A.C. plugs and socket-outlets, meeting the dimensional and testing requirements specified in IEC 60906-1 Figure 5A/5B and IEC 60884-1 Clause 22. Fabricated from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, it delivers precise and durable performance for withdrawal force validation of household and similar purpose socket-outlets, serving as an essential tool for product quality assurance and international electrical standard compliance.

Test Procedures:
• Ensure the gauge is clean and free of debris or corrosion before initiating the test.
• Confirm that the 16A 250V A.C. socket-outlet to be tested is installed or positioned in a stable, standard orientation as required by relevant standards.
• Insert the gauge into the socket-outlet’s contact assembly in strict accordance with the structural requirements of IEC 60906-1 Figure 5A/5B.
• Apply a steady and gradual pulling force to the gauge to simulate the withdrawal of a plug from the socket-outlet.
• Measure and record the maximum force required to fully withdraw the gauge from the socket-outlet.
