• Features a true profile (TP) with a radius of 15.088 and a tolerance zone of 0.100 wide (±0.050 from the TP), with the contour blending smoothly with the sides
• Corners may be relieved up to a width of 0.8 as specified
• Includes a 30° optional slot
• Permissible to be fabricated in multiple component parts, provided assembly meets the shown dimension requirements
• Incorporates dimensional parameters such as 11.5, 10.5, 55, 3.36, 13.0*2 mm (all round), 25.40, 23.25, 23.23, 25.37, 33, 22.23, 4.20, 4.18, 22.21, 6.40, 6.35, 3.2, 7.79, 14.44, 14.43

Test Procedures:
• Prepare the adaptor pin test specimen, ensuring it is clean, undamaged, and free from any deformities that may affect test results.
• Familiarize yourself with the dimensional requirements and tolerance ranges specified in BS 1363-3 Figure 5 (including relevant clauses).
• Position the adaptor pin specimen into the gauge in accordance with the designated assembly method, ensuring proper alignment.
• Inspect the relative position of the pin using the gauge’s precision reference features to confirm compliance with standard specifications.
• Measure the pin length using the gauge’s calibrated measurement points, verifying it falls within the acceptable tolerance range.
• Evaluate the fit of the pin’s joint surface with the plug by checking for gaps, misalignment, or non-conformities against the gauge’s reference contours.
• Verify the specimen’s conformance to the true profile (TP) requirements, including the radius and tolerance zone specifications.
• Record all test data, including dimensional measurements and fit evaluations.
• Compare the recorded results with BS 1363-3 Figure 5 criteria to determine if the adaptor pin meets the standard’s requirements.

Applications:
• Compliance testing of adaptor pins to verify conformance with BS 1363-3 Figure 5 standards.
• Quality control on production lines for plugs, sockets, and adaptors to ensure consistent pin dimensions and fit.
• R&D activities in the electronics and electrical appliance industries for optimizing adaptor pin design.
• Third-party testing and certification services to validate product compliance with BS 1363-3 specifications.
• Quality assurance processes in manufacturing facilities specializing in plugs, sockets, adaptors, and related electrical components.
