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 118.1, and 50 lbf (220 N) is to be applied, as shown in Figure 118.2, 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 118.3. 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 118.3) is to be modified to have a single set of blades. 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 144. There shall not be any mechanical breakage of the receptacle that exposes live parts or separation of the face and body by more than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm), measured after removal of the applied force. There shall no
Grounding Contact Test Grounding receptacles having a 5-15R，5-20R，6-15R，6-20R，7-15R，14-15R or 15-15R configuration are to be subjected to the tests in this section. 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. With the receptacle oriented to create the maximum contact displacement (possible distortion of contact affecting its contact ability), the test pin A, Figure 119.1 is to be fully inserted in the grounding contact. A 5 lb (1.27 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 receptacles rotated 90,180 and 270 degree
Probe Test A tamper-resistant receptacle shall not permit contact to be made between the probe test shown in Figure 132.1 and Figure 132.2 and any live part of the receptacle through the outlet slots when tested as described in this section. Twelve previously untested devices are to be used for this test. The probe test shown in Figure 132.1 is to be applied to each of the outlet slot openings of the receptacle with a force of 8 ounces (2.2N) in an attempt to bypass the tamper-resistance mechanism. A suitable indicating device (such as an ohmmeter, battery-and-buzzer combination, or the like) is to be connected between the probe and the wiring terminal of the outlet slot being tested to determine whether contact is made. Small Probe Test of UL498 Figure 132.1 The probe test is to be manipulated in the outlet slots in any orientation that may permit access to live parts within the receptacle. Twelve devices previously tested in 132.2 are to be used for this test. The probe test shown in
