Receptacle Test Fixture of UL 498 Figure 124.1
Assembly Security Test
A flush receptacle having a 5-15R,5-20R,6-15R, or 6-20R configuration is to be mounted in the fixture described in Figure 124.1, and 50 lbf (220 N) is to be applied, as shown in Figure 124.2, for a period of 10 s by means of a push-out tool inserted into the slots of the receptacle. The push-out tool required for configuration 5-15R is to be as shown in Figure 124.3. The tool used for configurations 5-20R, 6-15R, and 6-20R is to have the same design but is to be modified to fit the slots. For a single receptacle, the push-out tool (see Figure 124.3) is to be modified to have a single set of blades.
Receptacle Test Fixture of UL 498 Figure 124.1
Exception: A self-contained receptacle having a 5-15R, 5-20R,6-15R, or 6-20R configuration shall instead be subjected to the Assembly Security Test, Section 174.
There shall not be any mechanical breakage of the receptacle that exposes live parts or separation of the face and body by more than1/16 Inch (1.6 mm), measured after removal of the applied force. There shall not be any permanent deformation of the yoke that would render the receptacle incapable of functioning as intended.
The receptacle is then to be placed in an inverted position in the test fixture and the 50 lbf (220 N) applied, as shown in Figure 124.4, for a period of 10 s by means of a bridge as shown in Figure124.5.The criteria of 124.2 shall apply.
The receptacle shall maintain grounding continuity between the grounding terminal and ground pin. An indicating device such as an ohmmeter, a battery-and-buzzer combination, or similar device is to be used to determine compliance. Additionally it shall be capable of retaining without displacement in excess of 0.079 inch (2 mm) for 1 minute after insertion, the fully inserted test pin illustrated in Figure
For this test, each receptacle is to be placed with its face horizontal so that the downward force exerted by the pin is perpendicular to the plane of the receptacle face and tends to withdraw the pin.

What are the differences of FMVSS 302, UL94 and IEC60695 for flammability test?

Image
The flammability of different materials, such as plastics and other materials used in items such as automobile interiors, electronic devices, and electrical appliances, is evaluated using a number of different standards. Some of these standards are FMVSS 302, UL 94, and IEC 60695. Nevertheless, there are a number of important distinctions between these standards: FMVSS 302 is a specialized standard that was designed for the automotive industry to analyze the flammability of materials used in car interiors. Its purpose is to measure the combustibility of these materials. The UL 94 standard is a more comprehensive regulation that assesses the combustibility of a variety of materials, including plastics, and has applications in a number of different sectors. IEC 60695 is a global standard that is used in the process of assessing the potential for electronic and electrical equipment to catch fire. Testing Procedures The flammability of materials is determined using a variety of testing ...

125 Grounding Contact Test 125.1 Grounding receptacles having a 5-15R,5-20R，6-13R，6-20R，7-15R，14-15Ror 15-15R configuration are to be subjected to the tests in this section. 125.2 Previously untested devices are to be used. Each device is to be mounted in a flush device box, or as otherwise intended, with its face in a vertical plane. A nonmetallic faceplate is to be installed if intended. A solid 14 AWG (2.1 mm2) copper conductor is to be connected to the receptacle grounding terminal. GNGPL SB1610_AL 125.3 With the receptacle oriented to create the maximum contact displacement (possible distortion of contact affecting its contact ability), the test pin A. Figure 125.1 is to be fully inserted in the grounding contact. A 5 lb (2.27 kg) weight is to be gradually suspended form the test pin 6 inches (152 mm) from the face of the receptacle. The weight is to be applied for 1 minute, following which, the weight is to be removed. The application of the weight is to be repeated with the rece...

Accessible parts of equipment with standard IEC 62368 General An accessible part of an equipment is a part that can be touched by a body part. For the purposes of dctermining an accessible part, a body part is represented by one or more of the specified test probes. Accessible parts of an equipment can include parts behind a door, panel, removable cover, etc. that can be opened without the use of a tool. Accessible parts do not include those that become accessible when floor standing equipment having a mass exceeding 40 kg is tilted. For equipment intended for building-in or rack-mounting, or for subassemblies and the like for incorporation in larger equipment,accessible parts do not include those that are not accessible when the equipment or subassembly is installed according to the method of mounting or installation specified in the installation instructions. A part is considered accessible if the instructions or markings intended to be followed require that a person phys...
