EN 60512-20-3:2010

Connectors for electronic equipment - Tests and measurements - Part 20-3: Fire hazard tests - Test 20c: Flammability, glow-wire

IEC 60512-20-3:2010 when required by the detail specification, is used for testing connectors within the scope of technical committee 48. It may also be used for similar devices when specified in a detail specification. The object of this standard is to detail a standard test method to determine the flammability of a connector when exposed to a glow-wire test under specified conditions. The glow-wire test simulates thermal stresses which may be produced by such sources of heat or ignition as, for example, glowing elements or overloaded components, for short periods, in order to assess by a simulation technique the fire hazard or burning of a single electronic component.

La CEI 60512-20-3:2010 est utilisée pour les essais des connecteurs du domaine d'activité du comité d'études 48, lorsque la spécification particulière l'exige. Elle peut également être utilisée pour des dispositifs similaires lorsqu'une spécification particulière le stipule. L'objet de cette norme est de définir une méthode d'essai normalisée pour déterminer l'inflammabilité d'un connecteur exposé à un essai au fil incandescent dans des conditions déterminées. L'essai au fil incandescent simule les contraintes thermiques qui pourraient être produites par des sources de chaleur ou d'allumage, par exemple par des éléments incandescents ou des composants en surcharge, pendant de courtes durées, de manière à évaluer par une simulation technique les risques au feu ou la combustion d'un composant électronique individuel.

Konektorji za elektronsko opremo - Preskusi in meritve - 20-3. del: Preskusi požarne nevarnosti - Preskus 20c: Vnetljivost, žarilna žica (IEC 60512-20-3:2010)

Ta del IEC 60512, kadar ga zahteva podrobna specifikacija, se uporablja za preskušanje konektorjev v okviru tehničnega odbora 48. Lahko se uporablja tudi za podobne naprave, kadar ga določa podrobna specifikacija. Cilj tega standarda je podrobno opredeliti standardno preskusno metodo za določevanje vnetljivosti konektorja, kadar je izpostavljen preskusu z žarilno žico pod določenimi pogoji. Preskus z žarilno žico simulira termične napetosti na kratek rok, ki jih lahko povzročijo takšni viri vročine ali vžiga, kot so na primer žarilni elementi ali preobremenjene komponente, z namenom vrednotenja tehnike simulacije nevarnosti požara ali gorenja posamezne elektronske komponente.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). 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. 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 IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an internatio
