The Rigid Test Finger with Non-Circular Stop Face is equipped with a nodular finger that has a diameter of 12 mm and a length of 80 mm.

This Rigid Test Finger with Non-Circular Stop Face is a specialized safety tool designed to simulate human finger access, verifying if hazardous live or mechanical parts in electrical equipment remain inaccessible. It features a rigid stainless steel “finger” for consistent testing and a non-circular stop face (e.g., rectangular or hexagonal) that prevents over-insertion into equipment enclosures. Paired with an insulating nylon handle for safe grip, it applies a precise 10N thrust—aligning with global safety standards. Lightweight yet durable, it’s essential for compliance checks across appliances, IT devices, and industrial equipment, ensuring end-user protection from electric shock or mechanical harm.

Standards:

Specification：
Probe Type: Rigid Test Finger with Non-Circular Stop Face (IEC 61032 Test Probe 1 compliant)
Finger Material: Stainless steel (rigid, corrosion-resistant, maintains dimensional accuracy)
Handle Material: Nylon (insulating, non-slip, heat-resistant for safe operation)
Stop Face: Non-circular
Key Dimensions:
– Finger Diameter: 12mm ± 0.1mm
– Finger Length (effective): 80mm ± 0.2mm
– Total Length (finger + handle): 180mm ± 0.5mm
Applied Thrust: 10N ± 0.5N (precise force for standard compliance)
Core Function: Simulates human finger access to verify inaccessibility of hazardous live/mechanical parts in equipment

Test Procedures：
1. Inspect the test finger for damage (e.g., bent steel, cracked handle, deformed stop face).
2. Power on the electrical equipment and let it reach normal operating mode.
3. Hold the nylon handle and align the stainless steel finger with equipment openings.
4. Apply steady 10N thrust to the finger toward potential hazardous parts.
5. Check if the finger touches any dangerous components (live wires, moving parts).
6. Record whether the equipment meets safety requirements (pass/fail).

Applications：
1. Safety testing of household appliances (e.g., refrigerators, washing machines) per IEC 61032:2021 Figure 1.
2. Compliance checks for IT/AV equipment (e.g., laptops, soundbars) to block finger access to hazards (IEC 62368-1:2022).
3. Verification of small industrial control panels (e.g., workshop sensors) per UL 60335-1:2023.
4. Quality control for home medical auxiliary devices (e.g., air purifiers) during manufacturing.
5. Post-production safety audits of portable electric tools (e.g., handheld drills) to ensure hazard protection.
