IEC 62368-1 Figure V.3 Blunt Probe for Limited Access Testing in Telecom Equipment

IEC 62368-1 Figure V.3 Blunt Probe – Limited Access Test Probe for Telecom & AV/IT Equipment

Ensure hazard-based safety compliance and protect against unintended contact in restricted openings with our high-precision IEC 62368-1 Figure V.3 Blunt Probe – the industry-standard tool for limited access verification in telecom, audio/video, information, and communication technology products.

This blunt probe simulates a non-articulated object to accurately test whether small apertures, ventilation slots, connector ports, or other limited-access areas prevent access to hazardous parts (live components, sharp edges, moving mechanisms) that could cause electric shock, mechanical injury, or fire risks. Manufactured by KingPo with exact dimensional compliance and durable stainless steel construction, it delivers repeatable, certification-grade results for global regulatory approval.

Ideal for telecom equipment manufacturers, network device QA teams, third-party certification labs, and biomedical/IT testing facilities, this probe ensures full adherence to modern safety requirements in routers, servers, base stations, amplifiers, terminals, and battery-powered AV/IT gear.
