DIN VDE 0620-1 Lehre 16e Socket Gauge with 18N

This DIN VDE 0620-1 Lehre 16e Socket Gauge with 18N is precision-manufactured to comply with the technical requirements of the VDE 0620-1:2010 standard, specifically conforming to DIN 49441 Form R2 specifications. It is engineered for testing the maximum withdrawal force of contact sockets for corresponding plugs, with a calibrated 18N force parameter, ensuring that the connection reliability and mechanical stability of plugs and sockets meet industry safety and performance standards to prevent unintended disconnection during operational use.

Specifications:

• Complies with DIN VDE 0620-1 Lehre 16e
• Designed for testing the maximum withdrawal force of plug contact sockets
• Calibrated force parameter: 18N
• Key dimensional specifications (in mm): Ø 4.86⁻⁰·⁰¹, dimension range of Ø 6 to 10 mm
• Used to verify the structural and dimensional compliance of plugs and sockets with standard requirements

Test Procedures:

1. Prepare the plug and its matching contact socket for testing, ensuring they are clean, undamaged, and positioned in a stable testing environment.
2. Inspect the gauge to confirm it is intact, free from deformities, and meets the specified dimensional and force parameter requirements.
3. Insert the plug fully into the contact socket in accordance with normal usage to ensure a secure connection.
4. Attach the gauge to the plug correctly following standard operating guidelines for withdrawal force testing.
5. Apply a gradual and controlled pulling force via the gauge, targeting the 18N parameter, and observe whether the plug remains securely connected or record the actual maximum withdrawal force.
6. Compare the test results with the requirements specified in VDE 0620-1:2010 and DIN 49441 Form R2 to evaluate if the contact socket complies with the standard.

Applications:

• Maximum withdrawal force testing and quality inspection of plug contact sockets in the electronics industry.
• Compliance verification of plug and socket connection reliability during production in the electrical components sector.
