64 FOREWORD
65 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
66 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
67 international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
68 this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
69 Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
70 Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
71 in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
72 governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
73 with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
74 agreement between the two organizations.
75 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
76 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
77 interested IEC National Committees.
78 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
79 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
80 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
81 misinterpretation by any end user.
82 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
83 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
84 between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
85 the latter.
86 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
87 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
88 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
89 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
90 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
91 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
92 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
93 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
94 Publications.
95 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
96 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
97 9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
98 patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
99 respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC [had/had not] received notice of (a)
100 patent(s), which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this
101 may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
102 https://patents.iec.ch. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
103 IEC 61076-2 has been prepared by subcommittee 48B: Electrical connectors, of IEC technical
104 committee 48: Electrical connectors and mechanical structures for electrical and electronic
105 equipment. It is an International Standard.

139 Part 2: Sectional specification for circular connectors
142 1 Scope
143 This part of IEC 61076 establishes uniform specifications and technical information for
144 circular connectors. It should be used in conjunction with the generic specification
145 IEC 61076-1 for product requirements and with IEC 62197-1 for quality assessment
146 requirements as the basis for preparation of consistent detail product specifications for
147 circular connectors.
148 NOTE1 The quality assessment requirements for connectors according to the IEC 61076 series are detailed in
149 IEC 62197-1.
150 In the event of conflict between this sectional product specification and the detail product
151 specification, it is intended that the requirements of the detail product specification prevail.
152 2 Normative references
153 The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their
154 content constitutes requirements for this document. For dated references, only the edition
155 cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including

176 4 Technical information
177 4.1 System of levels
178 Clauses 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 provide information about Performance and Compatibility levels
179 (respectively).
180 4.1.1 Performance levels
181 If appropriate, the detail product specification shall contain information about the different
182 performance levels.
183 The term ‘performance level’ reflects the grouping of the environmental and mechanical
184 stresses at which a component is tested, and also such features as long-term stability of
185 electrical characteristics. If different levels are defined in the detail product specification, they
186 shall be numbered, where the lowest number (1) usually indicates the highest performance.
187 4.1.2 Compatibility levels
188 As a function of the standardization degree, four levels characterize the compatibility of
189 connectors from different sources. These levels are defined in IEC 61076-1 and should, when
190 appropriate, be indicated in the detail product specification of circular connectors.
191 4.2 Classification into climatic categories
192 Unless impractical, the lower and upper temperatures and the duration of the damp heat,
193 steady state test should be described in a table similar to the example given in IEC 61076-1.
194 For a correct assignment of climatic category, the correct relationship between the upper
195 category temperature (UCT) and the upper limiting temperature (ULT) of a connector (implied
196 in the derating diagram(s) discussed in 4.4), as well as between the lower category
197 temperature (LCT) and the lower limiting temperature (LLT) of a connector, see IEC 61984
198 relevant definitions.
199 4.3 Clearance and creepage distances
200 Permissible working or rated voltages depend on the connector end-use application and on
201 the applicable or specified safety requirements.
202 Clearance and creepage distances as well as proof voltages under specified air pressure
203 shall be specified in the detail product specification, based on the assigned rated insulation
204 voltage. See IEC 61984, IEC 60664-1 or IEC/TR 63040, as applicable.
205 4.4 Current-carrying capacity
206 For each connector, the current-carrying capacity for the declared wire size (typically the
207 maximum) shall be specified in the detail product specification. It is preferable that the
208 derating curve for the relevant wire size, determined in accordance with test 5b of IEC 60512-
209 5-2 is prepared. Alternatively, it is allowed to provide only one value of rated current for a
210 specified wire size at a specified temperature as described in IEC 60512-5-1.
211 NOTE 1 – The derating curve(s) can be provided in graphic form and/or in mathematical form with the formula:
213 where:
214 I = working current at ambient temperature t;
(t)
215 I = working current at 0 °C (intersection with y-axis);
(0 °C)
216 t = ambient temperature;
217 ULT = upper limiting temperature (intersection with x-axis ≥ UCT (upper category temperature)
218 NOTE 2 – The basic diagram determined in accordance with test 5b of IEC 60512-5-2 is then verified by a
219 temperature rise test 5a of IEC 60512-5-1
