Hi all,
Just looking at starting some testing since newly qualified, don't know if this is a stupid question or not. Is there an allowed tolerance for movement on the pins of a plug?
Obviously if they move a lot that's no good but what if they move a little when you wiggle them? Just curious as you can get the plugs which have fold in pins like on apple chargers but it made me think about fixed pin ones. I have looked at a few different plugs and some wiggle and some don't but all pass through a tester. I guess it's more just me worried about possible arcing from the movement?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

- TL;DR
- Plug pins, can they wiggle? Yay or nay.
