AS NZS 3122:2015 pdf free.Approval and test specification – Socket-outlet adaptors
A non-rewireable socket-outlet adaptor incorporating a flexible cord shall be designed to comply with the following requirements:
(a) Each conductor shall be rigidly and effectively attached to the appropriate pin. Each pin, the conductor attached to it and the insulation on the conductor adjacent to the connection, shall be adequately supported and secured in position in the plug.
(b) The conductors shall be attached to the pins by clamping， crimping, welding or soldering. Soldered connections shall comply with AS/NZS 3 100 and soldering may be used only to supplement a clamped or crimped connection unless the design of the plug is such that the soldered connection will not be subjected to flexure during normal use of the adaptor.
(c) The flexible cord, complete with any braid, cover or sheath, shall be taken into the body of the adaptor and the complete flexible cord shall be securely held in position in the adaptor by the moulding, encapsulation, cover or other suitable means which will effectively prevent any part of the flexible cord from moving out of the adaptor during normal use.
(d) The plug pins shall be adequately proportioned throughout and the portion adjacent to the connection shall be designed so as not to introduce a stress concentration which may lead to fracture of the pin, and shall be suitably shaped to prevent abrasion or cutting of conductor strands due to flexure in normal use.
(e) The moulding or encapsulating material shall be of even texture throughout and of suitable proportions to ensure adequate physical properties. It shall be free of voids which may lessen significantly the mechanical strength or electrical properties of the adaptor.
The design and construction of a socket-outlet adaptor provided with an earthing connection shall be such that, during normal insertion of a plug into the socket portion or the plug portion into a socket-outlet, the earthing connection is made before the connection of live pins, and during normal withdrawal the earthing connection is broken after disconnection of the live pins.AS NZS 3122 pdf free download.
