IEC 61032 Test Probe C with Cable

IEC 61032 Test Probe C (Figure 3, with Integrated Cable) – Accessibility Test Finger is a key tool for IP3X protection and electric shock prevention testing of household and similar electrical appliances. It features a 2.5mm-diameter rigid test rod (100mm long) to simulate tool access, paired with a 35mm circular baffle that stops over-insertion into enclosures. The insulating handle (10mm diameter, 100mm length) ensures safe operation, and it applies a precise 3±0.3N thrust—critical for verifying hazardous live/mechanical parts stay inaccessible. The built-in cable supports low-voltage testing, and it aligns with global standards, making it reliable for compliance checks.

Specifications:
• Probe Type: IEC 61032 Test Probe C (with cable for IP3X testing)
• Test Rod Diameter: 2.5 mm (rigid for consistent tool-access simulation)
• Test Rod Length: 100 mm ± 0.2 mm
• Circular Baffle: Diameter 35 mm ± 0.2 mm (prevents excessive enclosure insertion)
• Handle Dimensions Diameter: 10 mm; Length: 100 mm
• Handle Material: Insulating material (for user safety during testing)
• Cable Inclusion: Integrated (supports low-voltage hazardous part verification)
• Applied Thrust: 3±0.3N (precise force for standard compliance)
• Core Function: Verifies IP3X protection; blocks tool access to hazardous live/mechanical parts

Test Procedures:
• Inspect the probe (rod, cable, baffle, handle) for damage (e.g., bent rod, frayed cable).
• Place the 35mm baffle flush against the appliance’s enclosure surface.
• Align the 2.5mm rod with enclosure openings, connecting the cable to a low-voltage tester if needed.
• Apply steady 3±0.3N thrust to the rod toward potential hazardous parts.
• Check if the rod touches hazards or the baffle enters the enclosure.
• Record whether the appliance meets safety requirements (pass/fail).

Applications:
• IP3X protection testing of household appliances (e.g., washing machines, ovens) per IEC 61032 Figure 3.
• Electric shock prevention checks for audio/video devices (e.g., TVs, soundbars).
• Access protection verification for luminaire housings (e.g., ceiling lights)..
• UL 60335-1:2023 compliance testing for small kitchen appliances (e.g., blenders).
• Safety checks for industrial small electrical devices (e.g., workshop fans) to block tool access to hazards.
