CEE 7 Gauge C 4 for Acceptance Testing of Two-Pole Plugs with Side Earthing-Contacts

CEE 7 Gauge C 4 for Acceptance Testing of Two-Pole Plugs with Side Earthing-Contacts is engineered to verify the structural and dimensional compliance of 10/16A 250V two-pole socket-outlets with side earthing-contacts, in strict accordance with CEE7 standard requirements. This precision-manufactured gauge meets rigorous specifications for dimensional tolerances, material quality, hardness, and surface roughness. With material hardness exceeding 50HRC and a low thermal expansion coefficient, the gauge maintains stable dimensional accuracy, ensuring that two-pole plugs with side earthing-contacts can be fully inserted into tested socket-outlets without excessive force, as specified in standard documentation.

Test Procedures:

1. Prepare the test gauge and the 10/16A 250V two-pole socket-outlet with side earthing-contacts, ensuring both are clean, free from debris, damage, or deformation that may affect test validity.
2. Confirm the gauge’s dimensions, surface condition, and hardness comply with CEE7 standard requirements prior to testing.
3. Align the gauge’s pins with the contact openings and side earthing contacts of the socket-outlet as specified in Fig.4 of the standard.
4. Attempt to insert the gauge’s pins fully into the socket-outlet, applying only gentle force as prescribed by the standard.
