10. Accessibility of live parts
10.1 Live parts of plugs shall not be accessible when the plugs are wired as in normal use and in full engagement in a corresponding socket-outlet.
Removal of detachable fuse carriers shall not result in live parts becoming accessible when the plug is in full engagement with the socket-outlet or the socket-outlet portion of an adaptor.
10.1.1 Conformity shall be checked by the application of test probe 12 of BS EN 61032:1998 applied with a force of 5N with rewirable plugs fitted with a 2-core flexible cable as given in BS EN 50525-2-71:2011 and non-rewirable plugs as supplied. Detachable fuse carriers shall be removed before this test is undertaken.
10.2 Plugs shall be designed and constructed so as to protect the user against accidental contact with live parts during insertion or withdrawal of plugs.
10.2.1 Conformity shall be verified by satisfying the dimensional and gauging requirements of this part of BS 1363.
10.3 Resilient covers of plugs shall be so designed and constructed that when assembled and wired as in normal use, there is no risk that, as a result of undue pressure, live parts could penetrate the cover or become so disposed as to reduce creepage distances and clearances below those given in Clause 9.
10.3.1Conformity shall be checked by the following test (an example of a suitable apparatus is shown in Figure 2a) and Figure 2b).
The design of the apparatus shall be such that a steady force of 240_10 N shall be applied to those places where the possibility of a failure exists, the force being applied through a metal test pressure block as shown in Figure 2a).
Each sample shall be subjected to the force at each chosen place in turn. During each application of force, a test voltage of 2 000 V ±60 V 50 Hz of substantially sinusoidal waveform is applied for 60+5 between all live parts bonded together and the metal test pressure block. During the test no flashover or breakdown shall occur. After the test it shall not be possible to touch live parts with test 11 of BS EN 61032:1998 applied with a force of 30N.
10.4 Except for a plug fitted with a flexible cable supplied to equipment manufacturers for incorporation into their equipment, a plug supplied with a flexible cable shall have the free end encapsulated in insulating material.
10.4.1 Conformity shall be checked by inspection.

The ipx9k High Temperature Pressure Jet Waterproof Test Chamber is characterized by a waterproof grade of 9, indicating high temperature and high pressure water spraying, and spraying high temperature and high pressure water in various directions of the shell for water spraying test. In addition, k represents a function of pressurization, and under such strict conditions, its water pressure will become stronger. The ipx9 is currently a high level of waterproof protection. The IPx9 High Temperature Pressure Jet Waterproof Test Chamber is also widely used in fields such as LED lighting fixtures, display screens, household appliances industry, automobiles, and automotive accessories. At the same time, all dust and waterproof equipment can be customized according to user needs. The ipx9k High Temperature Pressure Jet Waterproof Test Chamber has four different vertical spray angles, namely 0 °, 30 °, 60 °, and 90 °, and the water pressure can reach 8000 to 10000 Kpa; Moreover, its testing r

Capacitance  refers to the ability to hold a charge. It is a medium for realizing the storage and release of static charges, with the characteristic of permanent charge storage. Capacitor components are widely used in power supply filtering, signal filtering, signal coupling, resonance, filtering, compensation, charging and discharging, energy storage, and power separation in circuits. According to its ability to accommodate charges, it is generally measured in Farads, and the international unit is Farads. Therefore, capacitors are essential components for electronics and power. The role of capacitors: Bypass capacitors and decoupling capacitors are two devices that provide energy storage for local devices. Bypass capacitors can reduce load demand, make the output of the voltage regulator smooth, similar to a small rechargeable battery, and can be discharged and charged. The decoupling capacitor can smooth the edge signals of the device, so as to prevent the input signal from being too

1 General 1.1 Scope and object This International Standard(IEC61032) specifies details and dimensions of test probes intended to verify the protection provided by enclosures with regard to: – protection of persons against access to hazardous parts inside the enclosure; – protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against ingress of solid foreign objects. SMT IP10T_AL The object of this International Standard is: – to bring together in one publication object probes and access probes currently specified in other standards, together with any necessary new probes;    – to guide technical committees in the selection of test sphere; – to encourage those concemed to specify test probes in accordance with those already specified in this International Standard rather than modify details and dimensions; – to limit the further proliferation of types of test probe. 1.2 General recommendations When selecting probes, priority should be given to IP code probes. The use of other probes, particul
