IEC 61032 Test Probe 17 with (Dia 0.5 mm Test Wire)

This IEC 61032 Test Probe 17 is a specialized tool with a 0.5mm-diameter test wire, built specifically to verify if hazardous live parts in electrical toys are inaccessible to users. It features a thin, rigid metal test wire for simulating small access points, paired with a durable nylon handle that ensures easy, safe grip during testing. Designed to meet strict safety standards, it checks whether live components in toys can be accidentally touched—critical for preventing electric shock risks. Lightweight and easy to maneuver, it’s a key tool for compliance checks on electrical toys, aligning with global safety protocols.

Standards:

Specifications:
Probe Type: IEC 61032 Test Probe 17 (test wire for electrical toy safety)
Test Wire Diameter: 0.5 mm (precision-sized for simulating small access points)
Test Wire Material: Metal (rigid enough for consistent testing, resistant to bending)
Handle Material: Nylon (insulating, non-slip, and durable for repeated use)
Core Function: Verifies inaccessibility of hazardous live parts in electrical toys
Applied Force: No appreciable force (mimics accidental, light contact by users)
Compliance: Aligns with IEC 61032:2021 Figure 11 dimensional and performance requirements

Test Procedures:
1. Inspect the test wire for damage (e.g., bending, fraying) and the handle for cracks.
2. Power on the electrical toy and ensure it’s in normal operating mode.
3. Hold the nylon handle and guide the 0.5mm test wire toward potential access points on the toy.
4. Check if the test wire can touch any hazardous live parts inside the toy.
5. Record whether the toy blocks access to live parts (pass/fail).

Applications:
1. Safety testing of battery-powered electric toys (e.g., remote-controlled cars) per IEC 61032:2021 Figure 11.
2. Compliance checks for electronic building block sets to prevent access to live components (IEC 62115:2020 Clause 8.2).
3. Verification of small electrical plush toys (e.g., light-up teddy bears) for electric shock risks.
4. Quality control for educational electrical toys (e.g., coding robots) to ensure live parts are inaccessible.
5. Safety checks for handheld electronic toys (e.g., mini game consoles) during manufacturing.
