• Function: Facilitates mechanical tests on antenna coaxial sockets

Test Procedures:
• Prepare the antenna coaxial socket to be tested, ensuring its surface is clean, free of debris, and structurally intact.
• Inspect the test plug to confirm no wear, deformation, or damage, and verify it meets the specified dimensional and material requirements.
• Align the test plug with the antenna coaxial socket according to the assembly requirements of IEC 60065 Figure 9 and IEC 60169-2 Figure 7.
• Insert the test plug into the socket as required by the mechanical test protocol (e.g., standard insertion force, repeated insertion/extraction cycles) without applying excessive force.
• Perform the designated mechanical tests (e.g., durability, stress resistance, retention force) as specified in IEC 60065.
• After completing the tests, remove the test plug and inspect the socket for any mechanical damage, deformation, or functional failure.
• Evaluate whether the socket meets the safety and mechanical performance requirements of IEC 60065 based on the test results.

Applications:
• Mechanical performance testing of antenna coaxial sockets in audio, video, and similar electronic apparatus.
• Safety compliance verification of antenna coaxial sockets to meet IEC 60065 standards.
• Quality control during the production process of electronic equipment and coaxial socket components.
• Mechanical reliability testing of antenna coaxial sockets in laboratory settings.
• Compliance inspection for electronic device manufacturers producing products with antenna coaxial sockets.
• Performance validation of coaxial sockets used in household, commercial, and industrial electronic systems.
