IEC 61032 Figure 4 Test Probe D: IP4X Test Probe with 1N Force

This IP4X test probe (Test Probe D) is a specialized tool for verifying electric shock protection and enclosure safety fully meet IEC 61032 Figure 4 (Test Probe D). It features a thin yet rigid 1.0mm-diameter wire for simulating tool access, paired with a 35mm circular baffle to prevent over-insertion. The probe applies a precise 1±0.1N thrust—critical for accurate compliance checks—and includes an insulating handle (10mm diameter, 100mm length) for safe operation. 

Specifications::
• Probe Type: IP4X Test Probe D (compliant with IEC 61032 Test Probe D)
• Wire Diameter: 1.0 mm (rigid for consistent testing)
• Wire Length: 100 mm
• Circular Baffle: Diameter 35 mm (prevents excessive insertion into enclosures)
• Handle Material: Insulating material (for user safety during testing)
• Handle Diameter: 10 mm
• Handle Length: 100 mm (for comfortable grip and control)
• Applied Thrus: t 1±0.1N (precise force for standard compliance)
• Core Function:  Verifies IP4X protection; prevents tool access to hazardous live/mechanical parts

Test Procedures:
• Inspect the probe for damage (e.g., bent wire, cracked baffle or handle).
• Place the 35mm circular baffle flush against the appliance’s enclosure surface.
• Align the 1.0mm wire with enclosure openings and apply 1±0.1N thrust.
• Check if the wire touches hazardous live parts or the baffle enters the enclosure.
• Record whether the enclosure meets IP4X and safety access requirements (pass/fail).

Applications:
• IP4X protection testing of household appliance enclosures (e.g., refrigerators, washing machines).
• Electric shock prevention checks for audio/video devices (e.g., soundbars, DVD players).
• Access protection verification for luminaire housings (e.g., pendant lights).
• Safety testing of industrial small electrical devices (e.g., portable fans) for hazardous part isolation.
