VDE 0620-1 Lehre 17 Gauge for Testing Outline of Caps and Covers

This VDE 0620-1 Lehre 17 Gauge for Testing Outline of Caps and Covers is engineered and manufactured in strict compliance with the technical requirements specified in the VDE 0620-1 standard, including both the 2010 and 2021-02 versions. This precision instrument serves as an essential verification tool for assessing whether the structural dimensions of plug and socket caps and covers conform to the dimensional criteria established in the VDE 0620-1 standard, thereby ensuring electrical product compatibility, safety, and regulatory compliance.

Technical Specifications

• Compliance: DIN VDE 0620-1 standard (incorporating Lehre 17 requirements)
• Standard Versions: VDE 0620-1:2010 and VDE 0620-1:2021-02
• Angular Tolerances: 45°±5′ and 10°±5′ 30 minutes
• Dimensional Tolerance: 10±1 for designated testing surfaces
• Application: Verification of plug and socket cap and cover outline dimensions

Test Procedure

1. Prepare the test specimen (plug or socket cap/cover) ensuring it is free from damage, deformation, or surface contamination that could compromise measurement accuracy.
2. Position the test gauge on a stable, level surface to maintain dimensional integrity during verification.
3. Align the specimen with the designated testing surfaces (Seite A, Seite B, Seite C) of the gauge as specified in the VDE 0620-1 standard.
4. Verify the fit between the specimen outline and the gauge’s testing contours to assess dimensional conformity.
5. Document whether the specimen meets the dimensional and structural requirements specified in the VDE 0620-1 standard based on the gauge fit assessment.
6. Record all test results, including any deviations from standard requirements.
