CEI 23-50 V4 Figure C14b Compliance Gauge

CEI 23-50 V4 Figure C14b Compliance Gauge is engineered to meet the technical specifications outlined in paragraph 19.101, specifically designed for verifying electrical continuity and mechanical retention characteristics of S17 plugs within P40 sockets. The gauge is available in two distinct variants configured for different front profile heights of the plugs, ensuring accurate and repeatable testing performance for compliance with applicable standards.

Specifications

• Overall dimension: 50 ±0.5 mm
• Dimension: 35 ±0.5 mm
• Dimension: 26 ±0.2 mm
• Radius: R 2.5 ±0.01 mm
• Maximum dimension: 2 mm
• Diameter: ø4.9 mm
• Feature: 3 sets of ø4.9 mm diameter components
• Front profile height options: 10 mm and 12 mm

Test Procedures

1. Inspect the gauge and P40 socket for cleanliness and absence of damage that could compromise test accuracy.
2. Select the appropriate gauge variant based on the front profile height (10 mm or 12 mm) of the S17 plug under evaluation.
3. Insert the gauge into the P40 socket with precise alignment to the socket’s internal geometry.
4. Conduct electrical continuity verification using standard electrical testing protocols compatible with the gauge-socket interface.
5. Evaluate mechanical retention force by observing the interaction between the gauge and the socket’s retention mechanisms.
6. Document test results to determine P40 socket compliance with specified electrical continuity and retention requirements.
7. Remove the gauge from the socket using controlled force to prevent damage to test components.

Applications

• Quality control testing of P40 sockets in manufacturing environments to verify compliance with paragraph 19.101 standards.
• Routine maintenance and inspection of electrical equipment utilizing P40 sockets to validate ongoing operational performance.
• Compliance testing for electrical products incorporating S17 plugs and P40 sockets to meet industry regulatory requirements.
• Laboratory testing and research to assess the reliability and durability of P40 sockets under various operational conditions.
