VDE-0620-1 Lehre 6 Plug Gauges for Pin Diameter Testing

This VDE-0620-1 Lehre 6 Plug Gauges for Pin Diameter Testing is precision-crafted and manufactured in strict compliance with the relevant requirements of the VDE 0620-1:2010 standard. It is specifically designed for testing the pin diameter of plugs, ensuring that the structure and size of plugs and sockets meet the specified industry criteria to guarantee safe and reliable electrical connections.

Specifications:
• Aligns with DIN VDE 0620-1 “Plugs and socket-outlets for household and similar purposes Part 1: General requirements on fixed socket-outlets” Lehre 6
• Available in two variants corresponding to different nominal currents
• For 2.5A nominal current: Key dimensions include 4.06±0.01 mm (dimension a) and 3.94⁻⁰·⁰¹ mm (dimension b)
• For 16A nominal current: Key dimensions include 4.86±0.01 mm (dimension a) and 4.74⁻⁰·⁰¹ mm (dimension b)
• Design feature: Edges are slightly rounded
• Includes two gauge types: Largest gauge (Größtlehre) and smallest gauge (Kleinstlehre)

Test Procedures:
• Prepare the plug pin to be tested, ensuring it is clean, free of damage, and placed in a stable testing environment.
• Select the appropriate gauge variant based on the nominal current of the plug pin.
• First, use the largest gauge (Größtlehre) and check if the plug pin can be inserted smoothly without force.
• Then, use the smallest gauge (Kleinstlehre) and verify that the plug pin cannot be passed through the gauge opening smoothly without force.
• Record the results of both insertion tests accurately.
• Evaluate whether the plug pin’s diameter complies with the VDE 0620-1:2010 standard based on the test outcomes.

Applications:
• Pin diameter testing and quality inspection of plugs in the electronics industry.
• Compliance verification of plug components during production in the electrical appliance sector.
• Routine quality control in plug manufacturing enterprises to ensure dimensional accuracy.
• Dimensional inspection of plugs for household and similar-purpose electrical equipment.
• Research and development testing for new plug designs to meet standard requirements.
• Third-party certification and inspection services for plug products to confirm compliance.
