Product No: SMT-0211
IEC 61032 Figure 1 (Test Probe 1) 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.
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:
• Inspect the test finger for damage (e.g., bent steel, cracked handle, deformed stop face).
• Power on the electrical equipment and let it reach normal operating mode.
• Hold the nylon handle and align the stainless steel finger with equipment openings.
• Apply steady 10N thrust to the finger toward potential hazardous parts.
• Check if the finger touches any dangerous components (live wires, moving parts).
• Record whether the equipment meets safety requirements (pass/fail).
Applications:
• Safety testing of household appliances (e.g., refrigerators, washing machines).
• Compliance checks for IT/AV equipment (e.g., laptops, soundbars) to block finger access to hazards .
• Verification of small industrial control panels (e.g., workshop sensors.
• Quality control for home medical auxiliary devices (e.g., air purifiers) during manufacturing.
• Post-production safety audits of portable electric tools (e.g., handheld drills) to ensure hazard protection.
