The EN 61010-1 6.2.3 compliant test pin with a diameter of 3mm and length of 100mm

EN 61010-1 compliant test pin is a specialized safety tool for electrical equipment testing. It’s designed to check if preset control holes (like knob or switch openings) prevent access to hazardous internal parts. With a 3mm diameter metal rod (100mm long) for reaching narrow gaps, a 35mm circular baffle to stop over-insertion, and a 100mm insulating handle for user protection, it delivers reliable results. It’s widely used for measurement, control, and lab equipment, ensuring compliance with global safety standards.

Specifications:
• Rod Length:  100mm (±0.2mm tolerance, ensures ability to reach deep preset controls)
• Rod Diameter:  3mm (±0.05mm tolerance, fits narrow preset control holes)
• Circular Baffle:  Diameter 35mm (prevents over-insertion into equipment enclosures)
• Handle Diameter:  10mm (ergonomic design for secure grip)
• Handle Length:  100mm (insulating material, protects users from electrical contact)
• Material Composition Rod: Conductive steel (for reliable hazardous part detection); Handle: Flame-retardant insulating plastic (UL94 V-0 rating)

Test Procedures:
• Inspect the test pin for bent rods, cracked insulation, or baffle damage to ensure functionality.
• Power off the equipment under test and place it on a flat, stable surface.
• Identify preset control holes (e.g., for adjusting dials or switches) on the equipment.
• Hold the insulating handle, align the metal rod with the hole, and insert until the baffle touches the equipment surface.
• Check if the rod can contact hazardous parts (via visual inspection or electrical testing).
• Record results to confirm if the equipment meets safety requirements.

Applications:
• Safety testing of laboratory instruments (e.g., pH meters, spectrophotometers) per EN 61010-1 Clause 6.2.3.
• Hazard access checks for industrial control devices (e.g., PLC panels, temperature regulators) to prevent accidental contact with live parts.
• Compliance verification for medical measurement equipment (e.g., portable blood glucose monitors) with preset controls.
• Quality control for electronic test tools (e.g., digital multimeters, oscilloscopes) during production.
• Pre-certification testing for automation control units (e.g., factory robotic controllers) to meet global market safety norms.
