DIN-VDE 0620-1-Bild 15 Vorrichtung zur Prüfung der Stabilität von seitlichen Schutzkontakten 

This DIN-VDE 0620-1-Bild 15 Vorrichtung zur Prüfung der Stabilität von seitlichen Schutzkontakten  is a specialized testing device designed to verify the stability of lateral protective contacts in fixed sockets, strictly compliant with the DIN VDE 0620 series standards. It plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and reliability of sockets for household and similar applications, as stable lateral protective contacts are essential to maintain effective grounding and protection against electrical shocks during plug insertion, use, and withdrawal.

Specifications:
Complies with DIN VDE 0620-1 “Stecker und Steckdosen für den Hausgebrauch und ähnliche Anwendungen – Teil 1: Allgemeine Anforderungen an ortsfeste Steckdosen” Bild 15
Conforms to DIN VDE 0620-2-1 (VDE 0620-2-1):2021-02 standard
Test force specification: 1 N (as indicated by relevant test parameters)
Application scope: Dedicated to testing lateral protective contacts of fixed sockets

Test Procedures:
Prepare the fixed socket under test, ensuring it is in a normal, unused condition with intact lateral protective contacts.
Secure the socket firmly on a stable test platform to prevent movement during the testing process.
Position the testing device in alignment with the lateral protective contacts of the socket, following the orientation and positioning requirements specified in the standard.
Apply a 1 N test force to the lateral protective contacts through the device, maintaining the force steadily for the duration specified by the standard.
Observe and measure the displacement or deformation of the lateral protective contacts during force application.
After removing the test force, check if the lateral protective contacts return to their original position without permanent deformation or damage.
Record the test data and compare it with the standard’s stability requirements to determine if the socket meets compliance criteria.

Applications:
Stability testing of lateral protective contacts in fixed household sockets during manufacturing.
Compliance verification for sockets used in commercial, industrial, and public facility electrical systems.
Quality control and batch inspection in socket production plants to ensure protective contact reliability.
Conformity assessment by certification bodies and third-party testing laboratories.
R&D and design optimization for socket manufacturers, validating the structural stability of lateral protective contacts.
Safety audits and maintenance checks for electrical systems in residential buildings, factories, and public infrastructure.
Pre-market certification testing for sockets to meet global safety and performance standards.
