Gauges for 10/16A 250V Two-pole Plugs of CEE 7 C10

Gauges for 10/16A 250V Two-pole Plugs of CEE 7 C10 is tailored to assess whether the structure and size of 10/16A 250V two-pole plugs comply with the IECEE CEE-7 standard (CEE7/7). It boasts stable and reliable performance, as its dimensions, tolerances, material selection, hardness, and surface roughness all meet strict standard requirements. With slightly rounded edges and a small thermal expansion coefficient of the material, the gauge ensures precise and consistent testing results for plug products.

Specifications:
• Rated current compatibility: 10/16A
• Rated voltage compatibility: 250V
• Applicable standard: IECEE CEE-7 “Specification for plugs and socket-outlets for domestic and similar purpose”
• Gauge type: C10 (including C10 A and C10 B)
• Material hardness: Minimum 50HRC
• Material characteristic: Small thermal expansion coefficient
• Edge design: Slightly rounded
• Key dimension (C10 A and C10 B): 5±0.5 mm
• Core requirement: Gauge C10 A shall pass outside the plug pins without undue force; Gauge C10 B shall pass between the plug pins without undue force

Test Procedures:
• Prepare a clean test environment to avoid debris interfering with the testing accuracy.
• Inspect the gauge’s own condition, including dimensions, edge smoothness, and hardness, to confirm compliance with standard specifications before testing.
• Take the two-pole plug to be tested and position it stably on a flat test surface.
• Align Gauge C10 A with the outer side of the plug’s pins and attempt to pass it without applying undue force.
• Align Gauge C10 B with the space between the plug’s pins and attempt to pass it without applying undue force.
• Verify if both gauges meet the passing requirements; if either gauge fails to pass as specified, the plug does not comply with the standard.
• Document the test results based on the performance of Gauge C10 A and C10 B.

Applications:
• Quality inspection of 10/16A 250V two-pole plugs in the electronics industry.
• Compliance testing for plug manufacturers in the electrical appliance sector.
• R&D testing during the design and development stage of two-pole plugs.
• Quality control and verification processes in industries producing similar electrical connection products.
• Conformity assessment to meet IECEE CEE-7 standard requirements for domestic and similar purpose two-pole plugs.
