How to choose the IK code test apparatus?

IK coding system is to indicate the degrees of protection provided by enclosures for electrical equipment against harmful external mechanical impact, which is given by IEC62262. The code is consisted by codes letters (IK) and characteristic group numbers (00 to 10), and each characteristic group number standards for an impact value, the values as below:

IK code

IK01
IK02

In order to give a common standard to electrotechnical equipment, IEC60068-2-75 environmental testing regarding hammer tests mentions three kinds of tool, pendulum hammer, spring hammer, and vertical hammer. To obtain repeatable and reproducible results, the test is more depends on the details of apparatus.

The choice of the test apparatus depends on the orientation of the surface to be tested and on the energy level. Not all methods can be used in every case. It is self-evident that a pendulum hammer can only be used on vertical surfaces without overhangings. Similarly the vertical hammer can normally only be used on accessible horizontal surfaces. When the specimen cannot be moved or turned, for any reason, the choice is limited. The advantage of the spring hammer is that it can be used in any position, provided there is enough room to apply it correctly, and that the specified impact energy does not exceed 2J. For higher energy levels, a spring hammer would be too difficult to handle, and could even be hazardous for the operator.

Hammer test is widely applied to electric appliance, lamp and etc. For example, according to IEC60598-1-2008 clause 4.13.1, all the LED lamps requires do the hammer impact test.

Pego tester is professional on spring hammer and pendulum hammer which meet the requirements of IEC60068-2-75 regarding Eha, Ehb and Ehc, welcome to contact for more information.

How to conduct the ESD test?

  What is ESD test? Electrostatic discharge immunity test is a basic EMC test . S tandard IEC61000-4-2 provide the immunity requirements and test methods for electrical and electronic equipment subjected to static electricity discharges, from operators directly, and to adjacent objects . T he standard establish a common and reproducible basis for evaluating the performance of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to electrostatic discharges. Electrostatic discharge is a transfer of electric charge between bodies of different electrostatic potential in proximity or through direct contact. The standard IEC61000-4-2 does not intend to specify the tests to be applied to particular apparatus or system, it is to give a general basic reference to all concerned product .   S o before conduct the test, an appropriate test level should be selected according to the product's characters and its working occasion.   Contact discharge and air discharge methods The test leve...

The relationship between standards IEC62262 and IEC60068-2-75

  The IK code is a coding system to indicate the degree of protection provided by an enclosure against harmful external mechanical impacts. The standard IEC62262 defines the impact energy corresponding to different IK codes. In general, the degree of protection applies to the complete enclosure. If parts of the enclosure have differing degrees of protection, the latter shall be indicated separately. IK00 IK01 IK02 IK03 IK04 IK05 IK06 IK07 IK08 IK09 IK10 IK11 0 0.14J 0.2J 0.35J 0.5J 0.7J 1J 2J 5J 10J 20J 50J IK00 - no protection IK01 - withstands 0.14J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.25KG falling from a height of 56mm on the surface) IK02 - Withstand 0.2J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.25KG falling from a height of 80mm on the surface) IK03 - Withstand 0.35J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.2KG falling from a height of 140mm on the surface) IK04 - Withstand 0.5J impact force (equivalent to t...
