Technical Information
Technical Information
The user must follow the appropriate equipment instructions when using connectors. We reserve the right to alter designs for quality
improvement, product enhancement and technology improvements. The technical information listed in the catalog is based on
connectors that are not allowed to be connected or disconnected in energized condition.
The distance to conductive parts should not be minimized by stripping the insulation. Take care when soldering cables to ensure that no
individual strands are loose or exposed, making possible the risk of short-circuits. Listed below are the key standards and regulations to
which our products are produced and tested.
Product-Specific Standards
DIN IEC 61076-2-101 / DIN EC 61076-2-104
Connectors for electronic equipment
Part 2-101:
Circular connectors – design specification for screw-locking M12 connectors for low-voltage applications
Part 2-104:
Circular connectors – design specification for screw or snap-locking M8 connectors for low-voltage applications
These standards specify the design guidelines for M12 and M8 connectors. They also serve as the basis for the test specifications.
DIN EN 175301-803
Design specification:
Rectangular connectors – 0.8 mm-thick flat contacts, captive-locking screws
This standard specifies the design guidelines for valve connectors. It also serves as the basis for the test specification.
DIN EN 60664-1
Coordination of the insulation of electronic equipment in low-voltage systems – Part 1:
Principles, requirements and tests
This standard replaces DIN VDE 0110-1, which was valid until the end of the transitional period in May 2006. These standards define
the air and creepage distances depending on area of application, material and degree of pollution.
DIN EN 61984
Connectors – Safety requirements and tests
This standard replaces DIN VDE 0627, which was valid until the end of the transitional period in October 2004.
In addition to the product-specific standards for connectors, this standard specifies further design requirements and calls for individual
testing.
DIN EN 60512
Connectors for electronic equipment – Tests and measurements
This standard specifies the test requirements for connectors. The test program includes: climate/mechanical tests, test description of
the mechanical characteristics of connectors such as max. current and insulation resistance.
DIN EN 60068
Environmental tests
In this series of tests the possible influences on the environment are defined. Among other things, this includes climatic influences such
as dry heat, coldness, moist heat and temperature cycles as well as mechanical influences such as vibration and shock. With these
tests, the influences from the location to be used are checked in the laboratory.
DIN EN 60529
Degree of protection due to housing (IP code)
In this standard the IP code is defined. The test setup and the test conditions necessary to comply with the IP coding are prescribed.
