AS/NZS 3112 Figure 3.1 Depth Contact Test Gauges

AS/NZS 3112 Figure 3.1 Depth Contact Test Gauges (GNGPL-3131) and non-contact test gauges (GNGPL-3131A) are engineered to confirm the compliance of plug and socket structures with Australian/New Zealand standards. These gauges are manufactured with precision to meet stringent standard specifications, ensuring consistent and reliable performance in testing environments.

Specifications:

• Dimensions and tolerances adhere to AS/NZS 3112 standards
• Material hardness exceeds 50HRC
• Low thermal expansion coefficient
• Stable dimensional accuracy
• Surface roughness complies with standard requirements

Test Procedures:

1. Prepare the plug or socket sample, ensuring it is undamaged and not deformed.
2. Ensure the test gauge is clean and free from debris.
3. Align the gauge with the contact area as per AS/NZS 3112 Figure 3.1.
4. Insert the gauge smoothly and evenly into the specified position.
5. Record whether the contact depth matches the gauge’s dimensional requirements.
6. Assess sample conformity to AS/NZS 3112 standards based on results.

Applications:

• Testing and inspection of plugs and sockets per AS/NZS 3112 standards
• Quality control in the electronics industry
• Compliance verification in electrical appliance manufacturing
• R&D testing for plug and socket development
• Quality inspection in industries producing plug and socket accessories
