IEC 62196 Terminal Mechanical Test Equipment Clamping Screw Terminal Tester

Product information

This testing machine conforms to IEC 62196-3:2026 clause 13, IEC 62196-1:2022 clause 13.3.1 figure 12, table 5.

This compliance is used for judging whether the design and the structure of the clamping screw terminal is correspondent with the requirement of non over-damage to the wire. Besides, it is also used to check whether the clamping screw terminal can bear the stress during the process of normal usage.

The testing times can be preset before the test, and the compliance stops automatically with the alarm when the testing times are reached.

Mechanical Test Principle

The test sample is secured in the fixture and subjected to controlled rotational movement together with the specified test load.

The adjustable bushing and mass configuration allows different terminal and conductor combinations to be evaluated under corresponding mechanical loading conditions.

This helps assess:

• Terminal mechanical strength
• Clamping screw terminal durability
• Conductor protection against excessive damage
• Resistance to mechanical stress during normal operation
• Structural reliability of EV charging connector terminals
