IEC 61032 Test Probe C with Cable

This IEC 61032 Test Probe C (with integrated cable) 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.

Standard:

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

Applications:
1. IP3X protection testing of household appliances (e.g., washing machines, ovens) per IEC 61032:2021 Figure 3.
2. Electric shock prevention checks for audio/video devices (e.g., TVs, soundbars) per IEC 60065:2021.
3. Access protection verification for luminaire housings (e.g., ceiling lights) per IEC 60598-1:2020.
4. UL 60335-1:2023 compliance testing for small kitchen appliances (e.g., blenders).
5.Safety checks for industrial small electrical devices (e.g., workshop fans) to block tool access to hazards.
