Product overview

PNS 1486-1:1996 (IEC 60884-1) Plug 6-20P(N) maximum withdrawal force gauge, model SC-PN1486-1-6-20P. The gauge is a precision steel plug manufactured to the standard drawing “Dimension for Plug 6-20P(N) and Socket-outlet 6-20R(N)” and is used for the maximum withdrawal force test of Philippine plugs and socket-outlets.

Applicable standard: PNS 1486-1:1996 (IEC 60884-1) — Plugs and socket-outlets for household and similar purposes, Part 1: General requirements. The standard drawing “Dimension for Plug 6-20P(N) and Socket-outlet 6-20R(N)” gives the dimensions of the Philippine plug and socket-outlet system, including the U-shape and tubular pin shapes, the pin diameters, the pin centre distances and the plug body envelope.

Purpose: The maximum withdrawal force gauge is a precision steel gauge manufactured to the dimensions of the standard drawing. It is used for the maximum withdrawal force test of plugs and socket-outlets: the gauge is inserted into the socket-outlet under test (or the socket-outlet gauge is engaged with the plug under test) and an axial withdrawal force is applied; the force at which the gauge separates from the socket-outlet is compared with the limit specified by the standard.

Construction:

  • Hardened steel gauge body, ground and lapped, hardness HRC 58 min.
  • Pin dimensions and body envelope machined to the standard drawing
  • Pin end radii controlled to the drawing values
  • Body engraved with the standard designation and the product number
  • Supplied with measured dimensional data and a calibration certificate
