VDE0620-1:2021 Clause 10.6.1 150N Compression Test Apparatus

GNGPL-62-150N  150N Compression Test Apparatus is developed strictly in accordance with Clause 10.6.1 of DIN VDE 0620-1:2021, which is special testing equipment for vertical pressure durability test of sockets matched with Gauge 14. The equipment can accurately output constant pressure and precisely control time to apply continuous pressure on vertically installed sockets, to assess the anti-extrusion deformation performance of socket contact clips. It is widely used in type test and factory reliability inspection of household sockets, and serves as core testing equipment for German & EU electrical safety certification.

Speicifications:
• Applicable Standard: DIN VDE 0620-1:2021 Clause 10.6.1
• Rated Force: 150 N, Force Tolerance: 0~±5N
• Timing Parameter: Standard 1 min, Time Tolerance: 0~±5S
• Test Condition: For fixed sockets installed vertically
• Matching Fixture: Custom holder for standard Lehre 14 gauge
• Control Mode: Closed-loop constant force control, automatic pressure holding, timing and pressure relief
• Frame Structure: Vertical stable frame, vertical force application without lateral deviation
• Acceptance Standard: Specimen shall comply with all requirements of DIN VDE 0620-1 Clause 9 after test

Test Procedures:
• Specimen Fixing: Lock the tested socket on the workbench, adjust the support to keep socket contacts vertical;
• Gauge Installation: Fully insert Lehre 14 into socket holes, align the top of gauge with equipment pressure head;
• Parameter Setting: Set target force 150 N and holding time 1 min on control panel;
• Automatic Loading: Pressure head descends vertically, stabilizes force to rated value and starts timing automatically;
• Automatic Unloading: Head lifts up and releases pressure automatically once timing ends;
• Post-test Inspection: Take out socket and inspect structure, insulation and contact performance per Clause 9; qualified with no damage or deformation.

Applications:
• Third-party safety labs: VDE & CE type certification for German standard sockets;
• Socket manufacturers: New product verification, production sampling inspection, component reliability test;
• Customs inspection institutions: Compliance inspection for sockets exported to Germany and European Union;
• Research institutes & universities: Electrical safety research, teaching experiments, standard calibration tests.
