Profile:

Unlike the articulated IP2X finger (Test Probe B), the IP2C probe uses a rigid straight design with a smooth steel ball tip, simulating access by blunt tools or large foreign objects. The built-in 50 N push force ensures standardized mechanical stress during testing, as required by certain national and product-specific safety standards (e.g., Chinese GB standards referencing “IP20C”).

Features:

  • Rigid steel construction with polished 12.5 mm diameter spherical tip
  • Integrated 50 N ±5 N push-force mechanism (spring-loaded or force-calibrated)
  • Stop plate: 10 mm diameter × 4 mm thick, prevents over-insertion
  • Slim handle: 4 mm diameter for precise handling
  • Complies with:
    • IEC 61032 (general requirements)
    • IEC 60529 / GB/T 4208 (IP code)
    • GB 2099.1 (plugs and socket-outlets)
  • Designed for IP20C—a variant often referenced in Chinese standards where “C” denotes use of a rigid probe (vs. articulated finger)
