TIS166-2549 Figure A.6 Max Withdrawal Force Gauge

GNGPL-TIS166FA6 TIS166-2549 Figure A.6 Test Gauge set includes 3-pin gauge and 2-pin gauge, manufactured in accordance with Thai Standard TIS 166-2549 Appendix A, Clause 22. This gauge set is used for maximum withdrawal force test of socket-outlets. It evaluates the clamping performance of socket contact sleeves to avoid accidental plug disconnection, power failure and overheating risks. It is the designated test fixture for TIS safety certification of Thai socket-outlets. All gauges are fabricated from non-corrosive stainless steel, all dimensions strictly comply with drawing tolerances.

Specifications:

• Compliance Standard: TIS 166-2549 Appendix A, Figure A.6, Clause 22
• Material: Stainless steel (non-corrosive metal)
• Dimensions: Fully comply with all millimeter dimensions and tolerances on drawing
• Function: Maximum withdrawal force test for socket-outlets

Test Procedures:
• Select the corresponding gauge according to pole number of the socket sample.
• Fully and smoothly insert the gauge into socket entry holes.
• Apply pulling force uniformly as required by the standard, record the maximum withdrawal force when the gauge separates from the socket.
• Compare test data with standard limits to judge whether the clamping force of socket is qualified.
• Repeat the complete test on all socket positions of the sample.

Applications:
• Pre-compliance testing for socket-outlets applying for Thailand TIS 166-2549 certification
• R&D clamping force verification and production inspection for Thai 2-pin / 3-pin socket-outlets
• Third-party electrical safety testing laboratories
• Compliance verification of socket contact sleeve clamping performance
• Mitigate hazards such as loose plugs, poor contact and thermal overheating
