Guangzhou Shice Instrument Equipment Co., Ltd. has finished the production, inspection and packing of a combined batch of gauges for the French standard NF C61-314 and the German standard DIN VDE 0620-1 plugs and socket-outlets, 16 pcs in total, and delivered them as one shipment.
The batch covers 6A / 16A household and similar plugs and socket-outlets. The inspection items include impossibility of single-pole insertion, maximum opening of the contact tubes, distance from the socket contact face to the copper clamping piece, minimum withdrawal force of plugs and sockets, acceptance of two-pole plugs, measuring the force of socket shutters, pin diameter and pin spacing, gauge for the interval until first contact closing, grounds on both sides, and maximum withdrawal force. All gauges are machined from imported Japanese die steel, heat treated and rust proofed, and are supplied with calibration data, suitable for routine inspection and sampling of plugs and socket-outlets.
