IEC 60884-1 Figure 13 Device for Checking the Resistance to Lateral Strain 5N Force

Standard: IEC 60884-1 2013 clause 13.14, figure 13.

Application: This device is use to check socket-outlets shall withstand the lateral strain imposed by equipment likely to be introduced into them.

Test sample: Socket-outlets having ratings up to and including 16 A and 250 V.

Technical parameters:

Test process:

For socket-outlets having ratings up to and including 16 A and 250 V, compliance is checked by means of the device shown in figure 13.

Each specimen is mounted on a vertical surface with the plane through the socket-contacts horizontal. The device is then fully engaged and a weight hung on it such that the force exerted is 5 N.

The device is removed after 1 min and the socket-outlet is turned through 90° on the mounting surface. The test is made four times, the socket-outlet being turned through 90° after each engagement.

During the test the device shall not become disengaged from the socket-outlet.

(Different test plugs according to different country's standards can be customized)
