The SN2132 Outline Verification Gauge is a dedicated standard test gauge for socket cover and cover-plate contour inspection, designed and manufactured strictly according to IEC 60884-1:2022 Clause 24.16 and Clause 35.

Socket covers and faceplates are critical protective components of electrical socket-outlets. Their outer profile, edge contour and dimensional shape must meet standard limits to guarantee safety against accidental contact, improper assembly and other mechanical hazards. This gauge provides a simple, fast and repeatable way to check whether the contour line of the cover or cover-plate complies with the geometrical requirements specified in the IEC standard.

Instead of complicated coordinate measuring instruments, this physical template gauge allows inspectors to perform quick go / no-go verification. Place the gauge against the test sample cover-plate, and you can judge whether the outline profile is within the allowable range efficiently. It is an essential fixture for type testing, incoming quality control and production batch inspection for socket manufacturers and third-party certification laboratories.

• Simple go / no-go measuring principle — easy to operate, no extra software or power supply required
• Fast contour checking for socket covers and faceplates, greatly improving lab inspection efficiency
• Consistent measurement results and good repeatability for certification testing and factory QC
• Matches the full series of IEC 60884 socket test gauges in our product lineup

• Contour verification of socket covers and cover-plates
• IEC 60884-1 type testing for wall socket-outlets
• Third-party electrical testing laboratory certification inspection
• Socket factory incoming inspection, production QC and pre-compliance checks
• R&D prototype verification for new socket faceplate designs

Place the standard SN2132 outline gauge closely onto the cover or cover-plate under test. Check the fitting condition between the gauge edge and the sample contour. If the sample profile exceeds the gauge boundary, the cover-plate fails the geometric requirement of IEC 60884-1.
