IEC 60512-1-100:2012

Connectors for electronic equipment - Tests and measurements - Part 1-100: General - Applicable publications

IEC 60512-1-100:2012 provides a listing of the 60512 series of standards for specific tests that are created for connectors. Further it gives cross-references with the former (60)512 standards, where different test numbers were used. The connector tests as such are mainly identical with the previously published standards; minor changes may be introduced due to technical developments (e.g. other soldering temperatures in soldering tests, resulting from the introduction of lead-free soldering). The former issues were in booklets, with several related tests in one document, while the present issues are leaflets, each featuring one single test. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2006. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This new edition reflects the status of publications in the IEC 60512 series as of September 1st 2011.

Connecteurs pour équipements électroniques - Essais et mesures - Partie 1-100: Généralités - Publications applicables

La CEI 60512-1-100:2012 donne une liste des normes de la série 60512 qui couvrent les essais qui ont été créés spécifiquement pour les connecteurs. En outre, elle indique les correspondances avec les anciennes normes de la série (60)512, lorsque des numéros d'essai différents étaient utilisés. Les essais applicables aux connecteurs, en tant que tels, sont en grande partie identiques à ceux des normes publiées antérieurement; des modifications mineures peuvent être introduites pour tenir compte des évolutions techniques (par exemple, d'autres températures de soudage pour les essais de soudage, suite à l'introduction du soudage sans plomb). Les anciennes publications avaient la forme de recueils, avec plusieurs essais liés dans un même document, tandis que les versions actuelles ont la forme de documents individuels, contenant chacun la description d'un seul essai. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2006. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette nouvelle édition reflète le statut des publications de la série CEI 60512 à partir du 1er septembre 2011.

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 international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60512-1-100 has been prepared by subcommittee 48B:
Connectors, of IEC technical committee 48: Electromechanical components and mechanical
structures for electronic equipment.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2006. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This new edition reflects the status of publications in the IEC 60512 series as of September
st
1 2011.

1 Scope and object
This part of IEC 60512 provides a listing of the 60512 series of standards for specific tests
that are created for connectors. Further it gives cross-references with the former (60)512
standards, where different test numbers were used. The connector tests as such are mainly
identical with the previously published standards; minor changes may be introduced due to
technical developments (e.g. other soldering temperatures in soldering tests, resulting from
the introduction of lead-free soldering). The former issues were in booklets, with several
related tests in one document, while the present issues are leaflets, each featuring one single
test.
