IEC 60906-1 Figure 3 Gauge for 16A 250V A.C. Socket-Outlets

This IEC 60906-1 Figure 3 Gauge for 16A 250V A.C. Socket-Outlets is engineered for rigorous verification of 16A 250V a.c. household and similar-purpose socket-outlets, ensuring compliance with the IEC 60906-1 standard, specifically targeting point 6 of standard sheets 1-1 and 3-1. Fabricated from hard, corrosion-resistant metal such as stainless steel, it guarantees durability and consistent performance in testing environments. The gauge incorporates precise structural and dimensional configurations to accurately assess socket-outlet functionality, with integrated indicator lamps (L1, L2, L3) that deliver unambiguous visual feedback for pass/fail determinations.

Specifications

• Rated supply voltage: 40V minimum to 50V maximum
• Applicable socket-outlet: 16A 250V a.c., compliant with IEC 60906-1
• Material: Hard, corrosion-resistant metal (e.g., stainless steel)
• Key dimensional parameter: D1 = 4.56 ± 0.01, R = D1/2
• Dimensional tolerances: Includes -0.3A, -0.5A, -0.1, and ±0.01 for critical components
• Indicator lamps: L1, L2, L3 (for functional feedback)

Test Procedures

1. Prepare the gauge and verify that the supply voltage is within the 40V min to 50V max range.
2. Insert the gauge into the socket-outlet at any possible angle without applying undue force.
3. Observe the indicator lamps: Confirm that lamp L2 illuminates before lamps L1 and L3.
4. Withdraw the gauge from the socket-outlet gently.
5. Verify the lamp extinguishing sequence: Ensure lamps L1 and L3 extinguish before lamp L2.
6. Record the test results based on lamp sequence observations to determine socket-outlet compliance with standard requirements.

Applications

• Quality inspection of 16A 250V a.c. household socket-outlets during manufacturing processes.
• Compliance testing of socket-outlets to IEC 60906-1 standard (point 6 of standard sheets 1-1 and 3-1).
• Routine performance verification of socket-outlets in electrical product testing laboratories.
• Quality control checks for socket-outlet suppliers and distributors to ens… (truncated)
