Foreword
The text of document 48B/1927/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 61984, prepared by SC 48B, Connectors, of
IEC TC 48, Electromechanical components and mechanical structures for electronic equipment, was
submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 61984 on
2009-06-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 61984:2001.
EN 61984:2009 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to EN 61984:2001:
– addition in the scope of the statement that this standard may be used as a guide for connectors with
rated current higher than 125 A per pole;
– new definitions added and improvement of existing definitions;
– in Clause 5, the classification referred to protection against electric shock and that of connector for
class II equipment were added;
– in 6.4 (Protection against electric shock), it is clarified that all parts which are necessary to ensure
protection against electric shock shall only be removable by the aid of a tool;
– Table 2 and Table 3 are added for better readability and connecting methods updated to current status
of standardization;
– values for cable clamp testing in Table 6 are adopted according to EN 50262 and no tests are required
if metric cable glands according to this standard are used;
– tables in 6.19 are deleted and the text refers to EN 60664;
– Table 7 (Values for torque for screw-type clamping units) in 7.1.4 of EN 61984:2001 is deleted and the
text refers to the relevant standards;
– Subclause 7.3.7 of EN 61984:2001 is modified. In 7.3.8 of EN 61984:2009, the length of the
connecting cable and conductor loops are added. Test arrangements for temperature rise test for
two-part printed board connectors are fixed;
– Figure 2 (Device for bending test) transferred from 7.3.8 (Mechanical operation) of EN 61984:2001 to
7.3.10 (Bending (flexing) test) of EN 61984:2009;
– in Table 10 (Mechanical test group A) test phase A3, the severity or conditions for unenclosed and
enclosed connectors are specified;
– the informative Annex B (Additional information on connector classification) with its Tables B.1
(Scheme of connectors) and B.2 (Help for the classification of connectors) are added for better
readability of the standard.
