Connectors for electronic equipment - Part 7: Detail specification for 8-way, unshielded, free and fixed connectors

IEC 60603-7:2008 covers 8-way unshielded free and fixed connectors and is intended to specify the common dimensions, mechanical, electrical and environmental characteristics and tests for the family of IEC 60603-7-x connectors. These connectors are intermateable and interoperable with other IEC 60603-7 series connectors. This new edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: updated drawings and test schedules on the basis of IEC 60603-7-4; corrected figure illustrating a connector de-rating curve.

Connecteurs pour équipements électroniques - Partie 7: Spécification particulière pour les fiches et les embases non écrantées à 8 voies

La CEI 60603-7:2008 couvre les fiches et les embases non écrantées à 8 voies; elle est destinée à spécifier les dimensions communes, les caractéristiques mécaniques, électriques et environnementales ainsi que les essais pour la famille des connecteurs CEI 60603-7-x. Ces connecteurs sont accouplables et interopérables avec les autres connecteurs de la série CEI 60603-7. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: mise à jour des dessins et des programmes d'essai sur la base de la CEI 60603-7-4; correction de la figure illustrant la courbe de taux de réduction.

Konektorji za elektronsko opremo - 7. del: Podrobna specifikacija za 8-redne, nezaslonjene, proste in fiksne konektorje (IEC 60603-7:2008)

Ta del IEC 60603-7 zajema 8-redne nezaslonjene proste in fiksne konektorje in določa skupne mere, mehanske, električne in okoljske karakteristike ter preskuse za družino konektorjev IEC 60603-7-x. Ti konektorji so medsebojno združljivi (v skladu z 2. ravnjo standarda IEC 61076-1) in interoperabilni z drugimi konektorji serije IEC 60603-7.
