IEC 62196-1 New Energy Vehicle Socket Withdrawal Force Test Apparatus

Product overview:

This withdrawal force test apparatus is required by IEC 62196-1Ed.4CDV 2020 clause 16.16.

Test principle: The fixed accessory (the socket-outlet or vehicle inlet) is mounted such that the mating accessory moves vertically downward into it during the first stage of insertion. A principal weight of 9,2 kg is suitably placed on the mating accessory. If the moving accessory does not enter the fixed accessory to the position required, a supplementary weight of 0,8 kg is allowed to fall from a height of 5 cm onto the principal weight. The moving accessory shall then enter the fixed accessory to the position required to engage the contacts properly.

This product is designed to test whether the maximum force required for pulling a plug out of a socket or connecting appliance and the minimum force required for pulling a single pole plug out of a socket assembly is within the range specified in the standard.
