Solid Link for Test on Fuse Clips According to BS1363-1 Figure 19A&B

This Solid Link for Test on Fuse Clips According to BS1363-1 Figure 19A&B is a specialized test component meticulously designed in full compliance with BS 1363-2 Figure 19A&B standards, tailored for evaluating the performance of fuse clips in 13 A electrical accessories. It comes in two configurations corresponding to BS 1362 Type and BS EN 60127-2 Type, featuring precision-engineered dimensions and a polished finish with sharp corners removed to ensure safe and accurate test interactions. The product provides reliable and consistent test conditions, making it an essential tool for verifying the compatibility, contact stability, and performance of fuse clips in line with international electrical safety specifications.

Specifications
• Test standard compliance: BS 1363-2 Figure 19A&B (covering BS 1362 Type and BS EN 60127-2 Type)
• BS 1362 Type dimensions (Figure 19a): Key dimensions include 26.2 mm, 26.0 mm, 6.5 mm (dual symmetric measurements), 6.4 mm (dual symmetric measurements)
• BS EN 60127-2 Type dimensions (Figure 19b): 20 ± 0.5 mm (major length), 5.1 ± 0.6 mm (dual symmetric width measurements)
• Surface finish: Polished with all sharp corners removed for safety and test accuracy
• Application compatibility: Designed specifically for 13 A fused plugs, socket-outlets, adaptors, and connection units
• Manufacturing precision: Engineered to meet strict dimensional tolerances as specified in the corresponding standards

Test Procedures
• Confirm the type of fuse clip to be tested (matching either BS 1362 Type or BS EN 60127-2 Type) and select the corresponding solid link configuration.
• Inspect the solid link to ensure its surface is polished, free of burrs, and sharp corners are properly removed, with no visible damage affecting dimensional accuracy.
• Prepare the test setup by securing the 13 A electrical accessory (equipped with the target fuse clip) in a stable test fixture.
• Insert the selected solid link into the fuse clip of the test sample, ensuring a proper and secure fit that mimics the installation of a standard fuse.
• Verify that the solid link is fully seated in the fuse clip without misalignment or loose contact, as this may impact test results.
• Initiate the test in accordance with BS 1363-2 protocols, measuring key performance indicators such as contact resistance, retention force, or thermal stability as required.
• Monitor the test process continuously to ensure the solid link maintains stable contact with the fuse clip throughout the test duration.
• After completing the test, safely remove the solid link from the fuse clip and inspect both the link and the clip for any signs of wear, deformation, or damage.
• Document the test data and compare the results against BS 1363-2 standard requirements to assess the fuse clip’s compliance.

Applications
• Compliance testing of fuse clips in rewirable and non-rewirable 13 A fused plugs adhering to BS 1363-2 standards.
• Performance verification of fuse clips in 13 A socket-outlets, adaptors, and connection units to ensure reliable electrical contact.
• Quality control inspections in manufacturing facilities producing electrical accessories for markets following BS 1363-2 specifications.
• Certification testing conducted by third-party laboratories and regulatory bodies to validate product conformity.
• R&D testing for optimizing the design and functionality of fuse clips in 13 A electrical components.
• Pre-shipment quality checks for exporters to ensure products meet the fuse clip performance requirements of target markets.
• Routine maintenance and calibration testing of electrical testing equipment involving fuse clip evaluations.
