Lampholders Axial Force Test Device (Model: PG-AFD)

1.Introduction

The axial force test device can meet the test requirements IEC60598-1 clause 4.4.4 for testing the lampholders (G5, G13, G23, G10q, GR8) of fluorescent lamps. This test is to assess if the fixing device of lamhpolder should have adequate mechanical strength, so as to withstand rough handling as may be expected in normal use. The test should be checked by lampholders for fluorescent lamp with a test cap in position.

A pressure apply to the center of the cap in the direction of its axis for 1 min. After the test, the distance between the holders shall comply with IEC60061-2 and the lampholder shall show no damage. The test cap for this test shall comply with IEC60061-3 (7006-47C for G5 lampholders, 7006-60C for G13 lampholders).
