Overview

EN 60512-24-1:2012, titled "Connectors for electronic equipment - Tests and measurements - Part 24-1: Magnetic interference tests - Test 24a: Residual magnetism," is a European standard developed by the CLC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization). Based on IEC 60512-24-1:2010, this standard establishes a consistent and reliable test method to measure the residual magnetism present in electronic connectors after exposure to a specified magnetic field. It is primarily applied within the scope of technical committee 48, which focuses on electromechanical components and mechanical structures for electronic equipment.

This standard ensures that connectors do not retain unacceptable levels of magnetism that could interfere with electronic equipment performance, thereby guaranteeing better quality and compatibility in sensitive electromagnetic environments.

Key Topics

• Scope and Objective
  This standard applies to connectors and similar devices where residual magnetism measurement is necessary as specified by detailed technical requirements.

• Test Preparation
  Specimens are mounted according to detail specifications, ensuring reproducibility and precision in testing.

• Testing Methodology

  • Use a magnetometer with a non-magnetic support and a suitable probe.
  • The probe is oriented to read zero before testing to ensure accuracy.
  • Specimens are magnetized by exposure to a magnetic field of approximately 0.5 Tesla (5,000 Gauss) three times, without direct contact with magnet poles.
  • After magnetization, the specimen is placed near the probe (within 3 mm) to measure the residual magnetic field.
  • Orientation is adjusted for maximum reading, indicating the residual magnetism level.

• Acceptance Criteria
  The residual magnetism measured shall not exceed the maximum permitted value defined in the detail specification relevant to the connector type.

• Specification Requirements
  When using this test, details must be clearly defined, including:

  • Accessory fittings on the specimen.
  • Permissible maximum residual magnetism level.
  • Any deviations from the standard testing procedure.

Applications

• Quality Assurance for Connectors
  EN 60512-24-1:2012 is crucial for manufacturers and testers who need to certify that connectors do not retain magnetic fields that could harm electronic circuits or cause performance degradation in sensitive electronic equipment.

• Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Testing
  Residual magnetism measurements help ensure that connectors comply with EMC requirements by preventing magnetic interference.

• Design Validation for Electromechanical Components
  Designers and engineers use this standard during product development to evaluate and reduce magnetic retention, improving overall device reliability.

• Use in Detail Specifications
  The standard can be invoked in custom specifications requiring verification of residual magnetism for specific electronic connectors or similar devices.

Related Standards

• IEC 60512 Series
  EN 60512-24-1:2012 is part of the IEC 60512 family covering tests and measurements for connectors for electronic equipment. Part 24-1 specifically addresses magnetic interference scenarios.

• IEC 60512-9
  Previously, residual magnetism testing was covered under Test 24a of IEC 60512-9:1992, which has been replaced by this updated standard.

• ISO/IEC Directives
  This standard follows international guidelines for standardization to ensure consistency and global acceptance.

• Other Magnetic Interference Tests
  Related parts of IEC 60512 address different aspects of magnetic interference, complementing residual magnetism testing for comprehensive electromagnetic performance evaluation.
