BS1363-2 Figure 16 Withdrawal Pull Gauges for Effectiveness of Contact

Gauge for earthing socket contact (BS1363-2 Figure 16a): By simulating the grounding bolt insert into the socket test samples and imposing the prescribed vertical downward force (poise) to check whether the socket is fits to the standard requirements.
Gauge for line and neutral current-carrying socket contacts (BS1363-2 Figure 16b): By simulating the bolt of the firing line or zero line to insert into the socket test samples and imposing the prescribed vertical downward force (poise) to check whether the socket is fits to the standard requirements.

Application:
This plug and socket test gauge is mainly used to test and inspect whether the structure and size of plugs and sockets conform to BS 1363 standards. And the mainly application industries is electronics, electrical appliances, plugs and sockets and other similar areas.

Feature:
Gauge dimensions, tolerances, material, hardness, surface roughness conform to the standards requirements;
Material hardness is more than 50HRC; Material thermal expansion coefficient is small,dimensions and tolerances is stable and reliable.

Standard:
BS 1363-2 “13 A plugs, socket-outlets, adaptors and connection units – 13 A switched and unswitched socket-outlets. Specification” Figure 16
