IEC 62196-1:2025 Figure 9 – Gauge “A” for checking shutters 20N
Specifications:
• Material: Rigid steel wire
• Key dimensions (mm): ø50, ø30
• Radius (r): 0.2±0.05 mm
• Calibration force: 20 N applied along the axis of the rigid steel wire
• Calibration requirement: When 20 N force is applied, the internal spring characteristic brings plane A – A’ to practically the same level as plane B – B’
• Compliant standard: DIN VDE 0620-1:2010 (Plugs and socket-outlets for household and similar purposes Part 1: General requirements on fixed socket-outlets)
1 rigid steel wire To calibrate the gauge,a push forcer of 20 N is applied on the steel rigid wire in the direction of its axis:the characteristics of the gauge internal spring shall be such that the surface A-A’ is brought practically to the same level as the surface B-B’ when this force is applied.
