12.5 mm IEC 61032 Figure 6 Test Probe 2 Steel Sphere for IP2X Solid Object Protection Testing

12.5 mm IEC 61032 Figure 6 Test Probe 2 Steel Sphere for IP2X Solid Object Protection Testing

Product Description

HeJin 12.5 mm Test Probe 2 is a rigid steel sphere test tool designed for enclosure protection verification in accordance with IEC 61032 Figure 6. It is primarily used to check whether an enclosure can prevent solid foreign objects with a diameter of 12.5 mm or greater from entering the protected interior.

With a precisely specified 12.5 mm sphere and nylon handle, this compact test probe gives engineers, quality inspectors and laboratory technicians a straightforward way to perform repeatable enclosure access checks. It is particularly suitable for IP2X-related verification under IEC 60529 and safety-related testing of household and similar appliances under IEC 60335-1.

Product Features

• Standardized 12.5 mm Sphere
  The steel sphere has a nominal diameter of 12.5 mm, with the product specification giving a tolerance of +0.2 / 0 mm.
• IEC 61032 Figure 6 Test Probe 2
  The product is identified as Test Probe 2 and corresponds to the Figure 6 configuration referenced by IEC 61032.
• Rigid Test Construction
  The product uses a rigid steel sphere rather than a flexible testing element, making it suitable for solid-object ingress verification.
• Steel Sphere + Nylon Handle
  The construction combines a steel sphere with a nylon handle for practical manual operation.
• IP2X Verification Application
  The probe is intended for verification associated with protection against solid foreign objects of 12.5 mm or greater.
• Simple Manual Operation
  There is no complicated control system or electrical connection required for the basic probe. The operator can directly inspect relevant openings.

Product Functions

The primary function of this Test Probe 2 is to verify enclosure protection against solid foreign objects with a diameter of 12.5 mm or greater.

• IP2X enclosure protection verification
• Solid object ingress inspection
• Enclosure opening inspection
• Product safety verification
• Design validation

The probe is especially useful where a manufacturer needs to verify that openings, ventilation areas, gaps or similar enclosure structures do not allow a 12.5 mm solid object to enter the protected interior.

FAQ

• What is a Test Probe 2?
  Test Probe 2 is a standardized rigid sphere probe associated with IEC 61032 Figure 6. It is used to verify protection against the ingress of solid foreign objects of 12.5 mm or greater.
• What is the diameter of the HeJin Test Probe 2?
  The sphere diameter is 12.5 mm, with a specified tolerance of +0.2 / 0 mm.
• What is Test Probe 2 used for?
  It is used to check enclosure protection against solid foreign objects with a diameter of 12.5 mm or greater and is associated with IP2X verification.
• Is this a finger probe?
  The HeJin website categorizes the product under Test Finger Probe, but technically this particular product is Test Probe 2 / a rigid spherical object probe, rather than a simulated human finger.
• Which standards are associated with this product?
  The HeJin listing references IEC 61032, IEC 60529-1 and IEC 60335-1.
• Is HT-I06 a force-applied probe?
  No. The standard HT-I06 does not specify an applied force. The HeJin listing identifies HT-I06T as the force version with 30 N.
