IEC 60906-1 Figure 3 Gauge for Outlets 16A 250V A.C.

This IEC 60906-1 Figure 3 Gauge for Outlets 16A 250V A.C. is specifically designed for verifying 16A 250V a.c. household and similar purpose socket-outlets in compliance with IEC 60906-1 standard, particularly targeting point 6 of standard sheets 1-1 and 3-1. Crafted from hard, corrosion-resistant metal (e.g., stainless steel), it ensures reliable performance and durability during testing. The gauge features precise structural and dimensional configurations to accurately assess socket-outlet functionality, with integrated indicator lamps (L1, L2, L3) that provide clear visual feedback for pass/fail determination.

Specifications
• Rated voltage for supply: 40V min to 50V max
• Applicable socket-outlet: 16A 250V a.c. (IEC 60906-1 compliant)
• Material: Hard, corrosion-resistant metal (e.g., stainless steel)
• Key dimensional parameter: D1 = 4.56 ± 0.01, R = D1/2
• Dimensional tolerance: Multiple precise tolerances including -0.3A, -0.5A, -0.1, and ±0.01 for critical components
• Indicator lamps: L1, L2, L3 (for functional feedback)

Test Procedures
• Prepare the gauge and ensure the supply voltage is within the range of 40V min to 50V max.
• Insert the gauge into the socket-outlet at any possible angle without applying undue force.
• Observe the indicator lamps: Confirm that lamp L2 illuminates before lamps L1 and L3.
• Withdraw the gauge from the socket-outlet gently.
• Verify the lamp extinguishing sequence: Ensure lamps L1 and L3 extinguish before lamp L2.
• Record the test results based on the lamp sequence observations to determine if the socket-outlet meets the standard requirements.

Applications
• Quality inspection of 16A 250V a.c. household socket-outlets during manufacturing processes.
• Compliance testing of socket-outlets to IEC 60906-1 standard (point 6 of standard sheets 1-1 and 3-1).
• Routine performance verification of socket-outlets in electrical product testing laboratories.
• Quality control checks for socket-outlet suppliers and distributors to ensure product conformity.
• Maintenance and calibration verification of 16A 250V a.c. socket-outlets in residential, commercial, or similar settings.
