MINIATURE FUSES –
Part 6: Fuse-holders for miniature cartridge fuse-links
FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization
comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to
promote international cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and
electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards.
Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in
the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and
non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC
collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with
conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters, prepared by technical committees on
which all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as
possible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.
3) They have the form of recommendations for international use published in the form of standards, technical
reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
International Standard IEC 127-6 has been prepared by sub-committee 32C: Miniature
fuses, of IEC technical committee 32: Fuses.
This first edition of IEC 127-6 cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 257 published
in 1968 and amendment 2 to IEC 257 published in 1989.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
DIS Report on voting
32C(CO)71
32C(CO)72
32C(CO)71 A
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the repo rt
on voting indicated in the above table.
Annexes A and B form an integral part of this standard.
Annexes C, D and E are for information only.

INTRODUCTION
According to the wish expressed by the users of miniature fuses, all standards, recommen-
dations and other documents relating to miniature fuses should have the same publication
number in order to facilitate reference to fuses in other specifications, for example,
equipment specifications.
Furthermore, a single publication number and subdivision into parts would facilitate the
establishment of new standards, because clauses and subclauses containing general
requirements need not be repeated.
The new IEC 127 series is thus subdivided as follows:

IEC 127-2, Part 2: Cartridge fuse-links

definitions and the atmospheric conditions for test. It also makes reference to other pa
of IEC 127 with regard to dimensions and maximum power losses of fuse-links.
