IEC 60065 Test Hook Probe: Essential Tool for Accessibility Testing
Used on enclosures prior to accessibility testing. The test hook is “hooked” into vents and seams in the enclosure & then pulled with a force (usually 20N).
Key Features
- Stainless Steel Construction: The probe is made entirely of stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion.
- Compliance with IEC 60065: This test hook adheres to the stringent requirements set forth by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) under standard 60065.
- Design Specifics: The hook has a hole at its long end, allowing it to be used in conjunction with a PFI series Force Gauge for precise measurement. It is typically pulled with a force of 20 Newtons (N).
Technical parameter:
- Length:180mm
- Width:5mm
- Thickness:1mm
Applications
The primary application of the IEC 60065 Test Hook Probe is in accessibility testing. Before any electrical device can be deemed safe for consumer use, it must undergo rigorous testing to ensure that no live parts are accessible through vents or seams in its enclosure. The test hook is “hooked” into these openings and then pulled with a specified force to check for any vulnerabilities.
