VDE-0620-1 Lehre 6 Plug Gauges for Pin Diameter Testing

This VDE-0620-1 Lehre 6 Plug Gauge Set for Pin Diameter Testing is precision-engineered and manufactured in strict compliance with the DIN VDE 0620-1:2010 standard requirements. It is specifically designed for verifying the pin diameter dimensions of plugs, ensuring that the structural and dimensional characteristics of plugs and sockets conform to specified industry criteria to guarantee safe and reliable electrical connections.

Specifications:

• Complies with DIN VDE 0620-1 “Plugs and socket-outlets for household and similar purposes Part 1: General requirements on fixed socket-outlets” Lehre 6
• Available in two variants corresponding to different nominal current ratings
• For 2.5A nominal current: Key dimensions include 4.06±0.01 mm (dimension a) and 3.94⁻⁰·⁰¹ mm (dimension b)
• For 16A nominal current: Key dimensions include 4.86±0.01 mm (dimension a) and 4.74⁻⁰·⁰¹ mm (dimension b)
• Design feature: Edges feature controlled radius for accurate measurement
• Includes two gauge types: Maximum gauge (Größtlehre) and minimum gauge (Kleinstlehre)

Test Procedures:

1. Prepare the plug pin specimen for testing, ensuring it is clean, free of surface damage, and positioned in a stable testing environment.
2. Select the appropriate gauge variant based on the nominal current rating of the plug pin.
3. First, utilize the maximum gauge (Größtlehre) and verify that the plug pin can be inserted smoothly without requiring excessive force.
4. Subsequently, employ the minimum gauge (Kleinstlehre) and confirm that the plug pin cannot pass through the gauge aperture smoothly without requiring excessive force.
5. Accurately document the results of both insertion tests.
6. Evaluate whether the plug pin’s diameter complies with the VDE 0620-1:2010 standard requirements based on the test outcomes.

Applications:

• Pin diameter verification and quality inspection of plugs in the electronics manufacturing industry
• Compliance validation of plug components during production processes in the electrical appliance sector
• Routine quality control procedures in plug manufacturing facilities to ensure dimensional accuracy
• Dimensional inspection of plugs for household and similar-purpose electrical applications
